Leave your thoughts about Man of the House.
| FilmJerk.comBrian OrndorfMan of the House isn't offensive, but it's a waste of time, potential, and, well, cheerleader cinema. |
| Dallas Morning NewsPhilip WuntchThe movie is awesome only in its predictability. |
| Boston HeraldPaul ShermanLike watching a long episode of a bad TV sitcom. |
| Kalamazoo GazetteJames Sanforda mediocre little time-killer...a schizoid script that is two-thirds culture-clash comedy and one-third uninspired action flick. |
| Reel Times: Reflections on CinemaMark PfeifferMan of the House is an amiable trifle that might be a guilty pleasure if it were better. |
| Village VoiceChris TamarriThe movie's not so much bad as it is chillingly uninventive. |
| The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia)Mark PalermoIf nothing else, Man of the House permits older viewers to ogle younger actresses under the excuse that they're going to that new Tommy Lee Jones film. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn Johanson[O]ne... wonder[s] exactly what Jones has done to believe his soul requires the scouring power of a Mel Gibson-style self-flagellation. |
| Houston ChronicleBruce WestbrookThough predictability runs all through this House, it works up a modest charm thanks to the emergence of likable, individualized characters. |
| Movie MomNell MinowIt's frequently almost cute, almost funny, almost touching. Give it one cheer. |
