 Man of the House
I’d like to be the first to say that Man of the House is a classic of comedic film, that it makes star Tommy Lee Jones an early front-runner for his second Oscar next year.
Instead, Man of the House is a flimsy piece of by-the-number filmmaking, cobbled together from bits and pieces of various genres.
Man of the House also features performances by Cedric the Entertainer, in some comic scenes that seem added primarily so he can be in the movie, and Anne Archer, a fine actress who is wasted as Roland’s love interest, the English professor for one of the cheer squad.

 TheMovieBoy Review - Man of the House (2005)
"Man of the House," not to confused with the 1995 Chevy Chase-Jonathan Taylor Thomas family film of the same name, is as generic as its title.
As Roland Sharp, a man so dedicated to his job that it has put a strain on his relationship with bright teenage daughter Emma (Shannon Marie Woodward), Tommy Lee Jones (2002's "Men in Black II") embraces his well-worn dry persona.
Of the five actresses, Kelli Garner (2004's "The Aviator") steals the show as Barb, a happy-go-lucky student shielding low self-esteem and a crush on her much older protector, and no wonder; she is the only one to have already worked with Larry Clark and Martin Scorsese in her young career.

The story's sort of an inverted "Courtship of Eddie's Father." In this case it's the boy's mother (Farrah Fawcett) who is single, and the boy (Jonathan Taylor Thomas of Home Improvement, Tom and Huck, etc.) is wary of her new fiancee, a prosecutor named Sturges (Chase).
In "Man of the House," Jonathan Taylor Thomas stars as Ben, a kid who's dad moved out when he was real young.
"Man of the House" does have its hilarious parts, mostly by Chevy Chase's clumsy antics, but I liked it more because it dealed with a type of family struggle that I could relate to a lot, and the movie does a real good job of it.

 SCREEN IT! PARENTAL REVIEW: MAN OF THE HOUSE
As the other two men move in across the street in a frat house, Roland ends up staying in the girl's house, much to their dismay since his no nonsense demeanor and strict rules about their activities from now on don't sit well with them.
A guy in a frat house stops by and, thinking a young Ranger is a college student, tells him, "If you need any weed or anything, just bang on my door." Later, another guy comes by looking for that first one (to buy drugs), but he's no longer around.
As border patrol guards aim their automatic weapons at a man, he spins around to shoot at Roland who shoots the gun from the man's hand.

 Man of the House (2005): Reviews
Stuck with flat material and a star more adept at responding to humor than generating it, director Stephen Herek, in a vain attempt to generate laughs, enlists Cedric the Entertainer, as a convict-turned-preacher.
But every prospective love story in a hack movie like "Man of the House" needs a meet-cute.
"Man of the House" is instantly forgettable, not exactly funny, not exactly good by any stretch of the imagination, but the cheerleader who develops a crush on Roland lends the film an accidental sweetness.

 Man of the House - Scathing Reviews for Bitchy People
So Man of the House has absolutely nothing whatsoever to offer in the way of originality - that isn’t especially surprising.
Jokes fall flat; subplots whimper and disappear; Cedric the Entertainer is underused and watered-down in his small role; and glimpses of the cheerleaders’ cleavage just aren’t enough to rouse even the slightest scrap of interest in what’s happening onscreen.
The problem here, if it hasn’t been implicit by now, isn’t that Man of the House is an awful movie.

The ever-expanding subgenre of cheerleader cinema offers dependable fluff, of which Man of the House is a shiny, frivolous example.
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.
The story sounds thin and weak, and actually it is much weaker than that of Whoopie Goldberg's hit movie `Sister Act,' but thanks to the dead-pan humor of Tommy Lee Jones, `Man of the House' manages to be an OK entertainment.

 Is there a man in the house? - JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM
For the first time in many years, I have had a serious problem coming up with a "Man of the Year" for Jamaica as is customary at this time when one looks back before looking forward.
Then again, in an age when women are coming into their own, it is perhaps better to focus on a Person of the Year, but even then I would still have a problem pinpointing such an individual who has really left a lasting impression on the majority of Jamaicans during 2005.
A significant reminder is that most of these males who are said to be a "generation of vipers" were either babies or pretty young when the PNP took over the reins of power in 1989.
