MAN OF THE HOUSE




Comedy

PRINCIPAL CAST MEMBERS
Tommy Lee Jones: Roland Sharp, Texas Ranger
Kelli Garner: Barb, one of the University of Texas cheerleaders
Anne Archer: Molly McCarthy, Barb’s English literature professor

REVIEW
This movie will have greatest appeal to 15 to 25-year-old males.
This is based on my “scientific” survey: when the theatre lights came up at the end of the movie, I checked who had been laughing the most. For the rest of us, it’s pretty mindless entertainment, short of much plausibility but with lots of "eye-candy" for all the men in the audience.

CLASSIFICATION
for violence, sexual content, crude humor and a drug reference.

FOR NITPICKERS ONLY
When Sharp and his partner can’t get in, with a shotgun she shoots the padlock off but does no damage to the door. The point of view changes and we see them entering but now the door has a big hole in it that a moment before wasn’t there.

During the football game, Sharp spots a suspicious looking character out on the field, which happens to be the team’s mascot. The clock behind him shows 2:44 remaining to play in that quarter. He then runs and tackles the mascot and when he gets up the clock now shows 2:58 meaning there’s an additional 14 seconds to play.
