SnoopyStyle Ranger Roland Sharp (Tommy Lee Jones) loses a witness to a big time case. Only a bunch of University of Texas cheerleaders (Christina Milian, Paula Garcés, Monica Keena, Vanessa Ferlito, Kelli Garner) can identify the witness killer as Agent Eddie Zane (Brian Van Holt). Now Ranger Sharp must pose as a cheerleader coach to protect the girls.TLJ is doing his 'The Fugitive' character. The movie is counting on that TLJ with a bunch of scantily clad giggly cheerleaders is enough to make the audience laugh. It's not enough. The good news is that everybody is likable nice characters. The bad news is that none of them has a sufficient funny bone in their bodies.
Cedric_Catsuits Tommy Lee Jones is perfectly out of place in the house full of cheerleaders, though I think there were opportunities for many more laughs here. Somehow the plot involving the crime boss that explains TLJ's predicament comes across as an afterthought that merely eats into the entertainment.There are some great moments from Cedric, but here again I'm not convinced the movie needs him. The cheerleaders are more than entertaining enough.Best of all we have Barb, superbly played by the wonderful Kelli Garner. She has a touch of Marilyn Monroe about her, which is about as good a compliment as I can give her. I expect her to go far.Not too taxing, witty and well played.
seveleniumus Because that's what it lacks... Remember all those annoying characters in Friday the 13-th you were happy to see dismembered in all the ways possible? Well they've come back with a vengeance in this movie at it's nothing worse than seeing annoying stereotypical cheerleaders being them-selves and being proud about it without any kind of payoff.If you absolutely have to watch this movie I would recommend putting on Friday the 13-th or Halloween just right after and imagine all those dumb faces on the victims - it works wonders...This movie fails as a comedy in too many departments to even try to mention them all and Tommy Lee Jones is the only redeemable factor in it, but even he can't do much with such a horrible script and supporting actors.NOT RECOMMENDED.
disdressed12 answer-they all move faster than this movie.man,this thing is a real coma inducing yawner.the rating is higher than i think it should be(5.3/10).if you're expecting to laugh,you can forget about it.this movie has very little going for it.i can only come up with two positives.one is Anne Archer,who is still a stunner at age 57 in 2005,when this movie was released.the other positive is that there were a couple good songs.other than that,it's painful experience and a loss of 100 minutes of life,which will not come back.i didn't think this would be a great movie,but i thought it might be decent.i found it hard to actually finish watching,but i stuck with it.hopefully i can convince others not to waste their precious time.for me, "Man of the House" is a 3/10
