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.

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).

This isn't old school; it's just old s---.

Not too much to cheer about in this lame movie.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 25, 2010

A guilty pleasure and one I had a very good time with.

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.

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.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 1, 2006

This makes an even worse job of its premise than you might expect, leaving it to the usual sidekick, Cedric the Entertainer, to provide the occasional laugh as a convict-turned-holy man.

The highlights, or at least breaks from the tedium, come from Cedric The Entertainer.

H duas ou trs piadinhas que funcionam, mas Tommy Lee Jones parece deslocado e a direo aposta demais nos corpos - fabulosos, verdade - de suas atrizes.

Yes, boys and girls, this is a comedy that, in the year 2005, thinks a montage set to Right Said Fred's greatest hit would be hysterical.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 19, 2005

Man of the House is an amiable trifle that might be a guilty pleasure if it were better.

| Original Score: C- | Apr 13, 2005

Essentially, then, the film is an excuse for Tommy Lee Jones to do his craggy hard man act in a house full of scantily-clad cheerleaders.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 9, 2005

Overall the film is as static as its star's face which -- given the large amount of scantily-clad female flesh on display -- is really quite an achievement.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 5, 2005

Small wonder this turkey, which required three screenwriters, has been sitting on the shelf for two years.

Goofy, good natured fun and, with all the dazzling bodies, can we really come away from it wanting more?

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 13, 2005

Fun, enjoyable, cute...made all the more endurable thanks to the obviously good-humoured Lee Jones
