4/4  warms the heart
I totally love this movie. I am not quite sure why, but it is one of my favorites. I am a big Chevy Chase fan so that drew me in. Add to the fact that it was a Disney movie (big plus for me) and it a had a good cast of actors. This is a st... (read full)

4/5 Man of the House

I like Tommy Lee Jones, I know the pundits panned the movie as poor, but I find it funny and serious parts. Being a Texas ranger (Jones) and having to protect college cheerleaders from a bad guy and pretending to be their coach is funny, but the girls and Jones come around to understand each other and the girls help save his daughter in the end shows that they are made of the right stuff.

1/5 A movie of substance??? GET REAL!!!

i enjoy amazon's rating system usually. every now and then though, an item that is truly bad gets nice/good reviews. i honestly do not understand how anyone could enjoy watching this movie. the plot is bad, the acting is worse, the laughs are boring, and it is all quite predictable. perhaps if you were a 12 year old. shame on Tommy Lee Jones for taking this role. if you like his acting, do yourself a favor and skip this garbage of a movie.
the fact that it has the same rating as Steven Soderberg's movie Traffic leaves me scratching my head.

1/5 *Groan*

What was Tommy Lee thinking? This was probably one of the most awful things I've sat through in a while. And only because it was on TV and there was nothing to watch. It was just terribly stupid from beginning to end, completely full of every cliché you can think of. It was NOT funny, you can't even call this a mystery since we know who the bad guy is like ten minutes into the film. What is the point??

5/5 Great Entertainment

I love Tommy Lee Jones, but this comedy with him is the best. I will
watch this movie again, and again.
