The image that best sums up this dismal comedy is Cedric the Entertainer cringing over a cell phone that's been hidden in a cow's rectum.

Anyone who's ever built a shrine to Tommy Lee Jones may enjoy this -- but it would take several troops of cheerleaders to muster up enthusiasm from anyone else.
04/01/06
This makes an even worse job of its premise than you might expect, leaving it to the usual sidekick, Cedric the Entertainer, to provide the occasional laugh as a convict-turned-holy man.
02/09/06
The highlights, or at least breaks from the tedium, come from Cedric The Entertainer.

Há duas ou três piadinhas que funcionam, mas Tommy Lee Jones parece deslocado e a direção aposta demais nos corpos – fabulosos, é verdade – de suas atrizes.
09/12/05
Yes, boys and girls, this is a comedy that, in the year 2005, thinks a montage set to Right Said Fred’s greatest hit would be hysterical.
07/19/05
Man of the House is an amiable trifle that might be a guilty pleasure if it were better.

Essentially, then, the film is an excuse for Tommy Lee Jones to do his craggy hard man act in a house full of scantily-clad cheerleaders.
04/09/05
Overall the film is as static as its star's face which -- given the large amount of scantily-clad female flesh on display -- is really quite an achievement.
04/05/05
Small wonder this turkey, which required three screenwriters, has been sitting on the shelf for two years.
03/24/05
Goofy, good natured fun and, with all the dazzling bodies, can we really come away from it wanting more?
03/13/05
Fun, enjoyable, cute...made all the more endurable thanks to the obviously good-humoured Lee Jones
03/11/05
The few moments of sharp humour in this film just aren't quite enough to make it work.
03/10/05
Tommy Lee Jones the Concept is Firmly Established
03/09/05
Give me a "T" for terrible.
03/08/05
Flimsy, vapid, formulaic fish-out-of-water comedy
