...on the trail of a man who could provide enough evidence to bring down one of the countries big crime bosses. When his partner gets shot and an FBI agent gets wounded, things go horribly wrong. The only witnesses to the crime are a group of 5 university cheerleaders who could now be under threat from the crime boss.

The film has so much potential, with one of Hollywood's renowned tough guys stuck with a group of young girls, but sadly it fails to deliver on every opportunity. I'm not saying that this film is bad, as there are numerous scenes which capitalize on this scenario, none more ...

A startling mixture of old man/young girl bonding, bloody violence, and gross-out humour, this drama-action-comedic souffle could comes courtesy director Stephen Herek (MISTER HOLLAND'S OPUS, THE MIGHTY DUCKS). Cedric the Entertainer has a great bit as an ex-con who helps the ladies with some hip hop dance moves. Anne Archer plays the ranger's older love interest. And the lascivious, multi-ethnic lovelies are played by Christina Milian, Kelli Garner, Monica Keena, Paula Garces, and Vanessa Ferlito. Tommy Lee Jones stars in this action-comedy as a tough old Texas Ranger who winds up babysitting a squadron of cheerleaders when they inadvertently witness a gangster's murder. His no-nonsense ways clash with the girls' fun-filled lifestyle at first: he makes them wear seatbelts, confiscates their cell phones, beats up on any guy who comes near them (including an awestruck pizza delivery boy) and makes sure no one sneaks out of the house on dates. Eventually he discovers the girls aren't as ditzy as they first appear. They get him to loosen up a little, and even help him to patch things up with his neglected daughter (Shannon Marie Woodward). Meanwhile a crooked federal agent is out the send the girls to an early grave. MAN OF THE HOUSE was filmed in and around the University of Texas.
