Predictability is one characteristic that Man of the House is never short of.
It would have made the movie worse to wait an hour and a half for something you already knew was coming.

Little moments that come from so far out of nowhere that they feel as if they belong in some other, even dumber movie.
And we dont need any more comedies as mindless, pointless, and soulless as Man of the House.

Taking a seasoned pro like Tommy Lee Jones and teaming him up with a group of young, scantily dressed cheerleaders who like to jiggle does give the film plenty of opportunity for fun and frivolity and, even though Herek once again fails to really get anything out of this potentially funny material, he does hit on a couple of not so bad moments.

Tough to pinpoint the precise "career low points" of inconsistent fellows like Tommy Lee Jones and director Stephen Herek, but "Man of the House" certainly deserves consideration on all accounts.

As for the film's good points, there were few.
