Movie Review: Man of the House

Man of the House (2005)
Starring: Tommy Lee Jones and Cedric the Entertainer
Characters: Ranger Roland Sharp and Percy Stevens
Directed by: Stephen Herek
Tagline: Protecting witnesses is a challenge. Living with them is impossible.
Grade: A

I like Tommy Lee Jones. He's a really cool actor (U.S. Marshalls, anyone?). This is one of my favorite of his movies. It's really funny and the entire cast is awesome, especially the cheerleaders (Christina Milian as Anne, Paula Garces as Teresa, Monica Keena as Evie [my favorite], Vanessa Ferlito as Heather, and Kelli Garner as Barb). This movie is about Roland Sharp, who's partner is shot at the beginning of the movie. The man that shot her also shoots a key witness in a crime. But this crime has witnesses, too. And they just happen to be Texas Longhorn cheerleaders. So, Roland has to live in a house with all of the girls to protect them until they can testify in court. The dialouge between the cheerleaders (especially Barb) and Sharp is pretty funny and the end is really cool (the cheerleaders end up putting their skills to a good use). I would reccomend this movie to anyone looking for a funny movie, one where you don't have to think about a lot. Those kind of movies are awesome. :)
