February 14, 2011Tommy Lee doesn't really go with comedy (in my opinion) but this movie wasn't that bad. It has some good laughs. And man those cheerleaders are so stupid. Are they really like that in real life? Oh well.

February 7, 2010Plot: Tommy Lee Jones=Texas Ranger (stretch). Longhorn cheerleaders= murder witnesses. Tommy Lee Jones + murder witnesses = hilarity when worlds collide.
Paper thin plot that fails miserably. Thank god he followed this up with No Country For Old Men or I would have to call him C... read more -

June 15, 2007I'm not sure about Tommy Lee Jones doing this type of comedy. He has to babysit a bunch of high maintenace cheerleaders after they witness a murder, who are more concerned about their make-up and dance moves. A silly comedy with a few laughs due to this pairing of total opposites.

None of the girls are demonstrably embarrassed to be in the film, which speaks to either their work ethic or their poor taste. Full Review

I venture that this is not what we really want from Tommy Lee Jones. Full Review

It's got a lot of small movies bouncing around inside it, but there's no big movie on the outside. Full Review

Though there isn't much to recommend Man of the House, there's really no reason to warn people off of it, either. Full Review

Mindless, vapid fare.

Kevin Crust, Los Angeles Times
Herek keeps things moving and throws in some lively action sequences but keeps the emphasis on the amusing and affectionate relationships between Jones and the girls. Full Review

Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle
Though predictability runs all through this House, it works up a modest charm thanks to the emergence of likable, individualized characters. Full Review

A high concept that goes nowhere.
