Texas Ranger Roland Sharp (Tommy Lee Jones) follows a strict code of behavior and has no patience for those who don't follow suit. When five cheerleaders -- Anne (Christina Milian), Teresa (Paula Garcés), Evie (Monica Keena), Heather (Vanessa Ferlito) and Barb (Kelli Garner) -- witness a murder, Sharp is assigned to keep them from meeting the same fate. But his assignment requires him to go undercover as their coach and live in their house, and so, some ground rules are in order.

Not too much to cheer about in this lame movie. Go to Full Review Andrea Gronvall Chicago Reader 03/07/2007
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. Go to Full Review Empire Magazine 04/01/2006

Anyone who's ever built a shrine to Tommy Lee Jones may enjoy this -- but it would take several troops of cheerleaders to muster up enthusiasm from anyone else. Go to Full Review Micheal Compton Bowling Green Daily News 11/18/2019
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. Go to Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens 11/13/2019
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). Go to Full Review Eddie Harrison The List 04/24/2019

thiago S @Thiagostone Mar 5 Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more shane o @Shanes_DVD_Shack Jan 20 It’s a simple and short film , the concept is ok, it’s definitely not laugh out loud funny at any point but it’s still ok . A popcorn movie or second screen movie See more Ed R @JustcallmeER 07/08/2025 Very cheesy humor, though already short and sweet. See more Stephen C @bob25009 05/29/2025 The worldwide gross is $21,577,624.00, less than the budget of $40,000,000.00. See more Tim M @tgmacman 06/16/2024 Man of the House proves to be short in the tooth when it comes to humor and originality and long in the horns when it comes to stereotypes and predictability. See more KB B @Okbullard 04/19/2024 It wasn't the best film and I'd never want to watch it again. See more Read all reviews
