Binding: VHS Tape EAN: 0043396031692 Format: Closed-captioned, Color, NTSC Label: Columbia/Tri-Star Languages: Manufacturer: Columbia/Tri-Star Number Of Items: 1 Publisher: Columbia/Tri-Star Release Date: January 15, 2005 Running Time: 100 minutes Studio: Columbia/Tri-Star Theatrical Release Date: February 25, 2005 Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Let's face it, sometimes you just want to watch some fluff. The ever-expanding subgenre of cheerleader cinema offers dependable fluff, of which Man of the House is a shiny, frivolous example. After a multiethnic cheerleading squad witnesses a mob execution, Texas Ranger Roland Sharp (Tommy Lee Jones, The Fugitive, Men in Black) is assigned to protect them. That's all you need to know--a formulaic plot follows, but the filmmakers recognizes that the formula is known by all so they doesn't waste time with unnecessary exposition. Instead, we go straight to amusing scenes of Sharp teaching the unruly (and scantily clad) girls some discipline and the girls teaching Sharp to loosen up and forge a better relationship with his estranged daughter. It's a one-joke movie, but thanks to Jones' leathery hound-dog face and cowpoke gravitas, the contrast between the girls and Sharp keeps being funny. Of its kind, Man of the House isn't in the same league as Bring It On (pretty much the ne plus ultra of cheerleader movies), but it's head and shoulders over the likes of Sugar & Spice. Also featuring Cedric the Entertainer (Barbershop), Anne Archer (Fatal Attraction), and R. Lee Ermey(Full Metal Jacket). --Bret Fetzer Description: When five perky cheerleaders witness the murder of a drug bust informant, they require 'round-the-clock surveillance to keep from being the next victims. Enter tough-as-nails Texas Ranger Lt. Roland Sharp (Tommy Lee Jones), who masquerades as their assistant coach and camps out in their campus digs. But these feisty foxes just want to have fun, and the buttoned-down Sharp learns it's no easy task to keep the uncontrollable coeds in line and out of harm's way. Cedric the Entertainer joins this spirited cast in a comedy that busts out with high energy, pride, and the joy of a Texas Ranger getting in touch with his feminine side. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great EntertainmentI love Tommy Lee Jones, but this comedy with him is the best. I will watch this movie again, and again. Rating:  - Very FunnyNot one of Tommy Lee Jones best movies but very watchable and has an excellent ending. It's very funny to see him in a comedy as he as so often done serious movies, but he easily does the genre. If you get the chance you should see this one. Rating:  - MAN...IN CHARGE?There are movies released that are nothing more than formula films. Many critics chastise the film makers of these films for making what they consider drivel. The fact of the matter is that movie goers rather like these sorts of films, feeling somewhat comfortable with them. Such is the case with this movie. Tommy Lee Jones stars as Roland Sharp, a Texas Ranger who has seen his partner shot down while trying to take in a witness who is shortly thereafter murdered. Shot in an alley, the ...

Rating: - CINCO CHICAS FRESAS Y UN AMARGADO!!La primera vez que vi esta pelicula fue en un canal del cable, y desde un principio me moria de la risa; una muy graciosa manera de combinar la cruda vida de un oficial texano con la divertida y despreocupada vida de las chef-leaders; la pelicula no solo es comica, tambien es muy bonita en cuanto a contenido, sobre todo en lo que se refiere a que tanto las chicas aprenden a ser mas serias y reflexivas como el policia tambien aprende a descubrir su lado tierno, a comprender y valorar mas a su propia ...
