Man of the House
Preprogrammed comedy of a stiff-necked Texas Ranger charged with safeguarding five witnesses to homicide, a Texas Longhorns cheerleading squad. (He confiscates their cellphones, implements a dress code, shops for Tampax, gets advice on dating, grooming, and relating to his daughter.) Tommy Lee Jones, displaying a murderous deadpan, would be the right man for the job if the job were worth doing. The cheerleaders -- a budding Brittany Murphy, a budding Angelina Jolie, a budding Gabrielle Union, and so on -- are blanks. With Anne Archer, Cedric the Entertainer, Brian Van Holt, and R. Lee Ermey; directed by Stephen Herek. 2005.
