Amazon.co.uk Review
Let's face it, sometimes you just want to watch some fluff. The ever-expanding subgenre of cheerleader cinema offers dependable fluff, of which iMan of the House/i is a shiny, frivolous example. After a multiethnic cheerleading squad witnesses a mob execution, Texas Ranger Roland Sharp (Tommy Lee Jones) 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, iMan of the House/i isn't in the same league as iBring It On/i (pretty much the ne plus ultra of cheerleader movies), but it's head and shoulders over the likes of iSugar Spice/i. i--Bret Fetzer, Amazon.com/i

 subtle humour and likeable characters August 23, 2008
Tommy Lee Jones plays a police officer who protects some cheerleaders from criminals who want the cheerleaders dead because they witnessed a murder.He lives in a house with the cheerleaders and most of the humour of the film comes from the conflict between him and his old-fashioned values and the girls and their youthful outlook on life.Some action at the beginning and end of the film but on the whole a movie that is neither bloody or vulgar and that has subtle wit and well-developed characters and dialogue.br /
 I would probably give this 3 1/2 stars, really July 23, 2006

This film was quite good, but it wasn't as funny a I thought it was going to be.br /br /It is about some cheerleaders who witness a murder take place. The police are worried that the murderer will try and kill them because they saw it happen, so they send someone (played by Tommy Lee Jones) to protect them. They aren't allowed out of the house and they aren't allowed to do certain things.br /br /It is about their life in the house and what goes on. There are some funny moments. It has a very good ending.
Good but not good enough February 18, 2006
8 out of 9 found this review helpful
This movie incudes a great cast such as tommy lee jones and christina milian but this film was lacking something. This film doesn't really have a category because it was not a girly girl american cheerleader flick and it wasn't a murder investigation. It has a good plot on the whole but there wasn't much going on, it was very bland and tryed to fill up the time with useless things.brIf you like simple mysteries that have you screaming 'it was him! Are you blind?' you will love this.br Give it a try anyways you may find you like it.
More entertaining than I expected it to be October 24, 2005

I wasn't all that excited about seeing this movie - but it did feature Cedric the Entertainer as well as cheerleaders, so I went ahead and watched it. I knew the film would be pretty stupid - and it was - but I have to admit I was rather pleasantly surprised by Man of the House (and not only because I happily discovered that Monica Keena was also in it). Putting the dour-faced Tommy Lee Jones in the middle of five giddy cheerleaders is definitely good for some laughs, and the characters really started to grow on me after the first half hour of extremely stereotyped characterization finally faded away. Texas Ranger Roland Sharp (Tommy Lee Jones) stalks around like he's impervious to any danger, and the cheerleaders are seriously dumbed down when we first meet them - this superficial treatment doesn't do the movie any favors coming out of the gate. pHere's the basic story. Five University of Texas cheerleaders witness the murder of a government witness being sought by Sharp to testify against some high-level criminal. Thus, the girls are the only witnesses that stand in the way of Mr. Moneybags' freedom from prosecution - despite the fact that they can't even begin to come up with a description of the man they saw pull the trigger. Sharp is given the job of protecting the girls, which makes him the girls' newest roommate back on campus. The girls, being silly cheerleaders, don't think they are in danger and balk at everything the ultra-serious Ranger asks them to do. He, of course, has a problem with their skimpy outfits (for reasons I certainly can't fathom), unmentionables in the bathroom, etc. Eventually, though, they develop a sort of friendship, with the girls helping Sharp reconnect with his daughter and woo a lady professor and Sharp loosening up and having a little bit of fun. pThere are some pretty funny scenes in the film, especially when Sharp is playing the part of the new assistant cheerleading coach (and getting some cheers of his own at one of the football games). I was a little disappointed that Cedric the Entertainer had a much smaller role than I expected, but that man always makes the most of his minutes. I do wish the film had been set at some other university than Texas because I don't like their coach (who, fortunately, didn't appear in the film - although Texas Governor Perry did have a quick cameo) and because their cheerleaders have some of the most unappealing cheerleading outfits I know of. Still, this is a funny movie that makes for a surprisingly enjoyable way to spend a little over an hour and a half.
