When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Tommy Lee Jones is a good and versatile actor. And somehow he always plays the same roles. Is that a bad thing? Well,in this case it isn't. The contrast between the cheerleaders and this cranky old Texas Ranger is as fun as can be expected. There are even moments where Jones shows his softer side. Jones romancing Anne Archer and him displaying fatherly feelings over the girls he has to protect. Quite the opposite of the role he had in "Double Jeopardy" where most of the time he was just cranky and grumpy. And there are scenes where you can feel the huge age gap between these teens and the old man. But this is done in such a subtle way that is was pretty hilarious. As a bonus there is some slapstick in the form of Cedric the Entertainer. And I don't know about you but he always makes me laugh. The action is downplayed in service of the comedy which is a good thing. Since too much action would have been too distracting. "Man of the House" is not set out to surprise you. It entertains nothing more nothing less.

Tommy Lee Jones is well cast and a positive presence in every movie, and all but one of the five cheerleaders are attractive, but MOTH is far too formulaic and predictable to be fulfilling viewing. Perhaps I'm too jaded, having seen far too many formula comedies, so maybe this is quite an entertaining film for 15 year-olds, and I don't mean this in a nasty way. Some of the gags and situations are so foreseeable that you can sniff them out a mile ahead.Nevertheless, a pleasant enough action comedy which would have been better without its obligatory DULL crime plot. Why does nearly every single movie have to have a cops-and-robbers (sub-)plot? So many of these writers are too lazy to write an all-out comedy, so they waste everyone's time with pointless crime stuff.The one cheerleader I didn't like was Vanessa Farlito, "Butterfly" in "Death Proof". What a damn mug! SPOILER coming up: Oh yeah, and the bad gay just happens to be an FBI agent... Yawn...

This was a really good movie. It had me laughing throughout the whole thing. I loved the scene with Tommy lee Jones and Professor Mcarthy(Anne Archer). I think she could have had a bigger part though. But TLJ played his part so well and brought a lot to the movie. So did everybody including Anne Archer, for such a small part. I really enjoyed watching this movie, it had me laughing at times for a while. THis is a very good and silly movie to watch, and i definitely recommend it. But be in a good mood to watch it because you really need to be happy and silly to really appreciate this movie. I don't understand how this movie could get a bad Review, it just doesn't make sense. So go out and rent or by this movie, if your in the mood to have a laugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
