      KB B It wasn't the best film and I'd never want to watch it again. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/19/24 Full Review Michelle H I don't know what some of the other raters' expectations were for this movie, but if you take the movie for what it is - a murder/mystery with a comedic bend, like Kindergarten Cop or Bullock/McCarthy movies, I found the movie funny and likeable. I thought that Tommy Lee did a good job of fitting into this genre of movie, just like he does with any movie that he makes. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/18/24 Full Review Sean S This movie has a great concept, but it doesn't do it any favors or justice. This movie is a hard pass even for the die hard Tommy Lee Jones fans. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/15/23 Full Review Narciso R Excellent movie, excellent cast. Wow girls. NRJ. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review steve d Funnier than it has a right to be still lightweight and occasionally sexist. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review joel h I didn't expect much from Man of the House, so I was pleasantly surprised by it. Even though the framework of the plot is pretty flimsy, the interactions between the cantankerous Texas Ranger Roland Sharp (played by Tommy Lee Jones) and the pack of perky cheerleaders is genuinely amusing. No, the story doesn't make any sense. No, none of the characters are very developed. Yes, this movie is completely predictable. Yes, I feel a little ashamed for liking it as much as I did. Maybe I was just in a good mood while watching it. Nevertheless, I wouldn't mind watching Man of the House a second time one day.

      Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Rated: D+ Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Nell Minow Common Sense Media Not too much to cheer about in this lame movie. Rated: 2/5 Dec 25, 2010 Full Review Andrea Gronvall Chicago Reader The image that best sums up this dismal comedy is Cedric the Entertainer cringing over a cell phone that's been hidden in a cow's rectum. Mar 7, 2007 Full Review Micheal Compton Bowling Green Daily News Having Tommy Lee Jones spoof his tough guy image isn't a bad idea. Having him spoof his image in a film like Man of the House is a very bad idea. Nov 18, 2019 Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens Although it has its moments (albeit few), Man of the House is primarily a waste of time and a waste of talent (on all fronts). Nov 13, 2019 Full Review Eddie Harrison The List This isn't old school; it's just old s---. Rated: 1/5 Apr 24, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
