Man of the House ( 2005 ) - 4 stars out of 5 stars

Comedy is a personnel taste thats why I haven't reviewed that many.However I am very old school and Tommy Lee Jones and Cedric the Entertainer,how could I resist.
Not to be confused with another film with the same name.
The plot is also Texas based so again topical for a newbee like myself.Released in 2005 and running 100 minutes it even has a cameo by Rick Perry !!! Funny sidelight.None of the actors in this film but one or two with minor small parts and Tommy Lee are from Texas.But hey,how many in Austin,weird city of the world,are really from Texas??The plot summary is below.Its a standard comedy/drama about witness protection from a unknown killer who happens to be a rouge Federal agent.Not new,but casting is key.Tommy  pulls it off as a bad ass and the 5 young actress are good enough to play dumb without looking stupid.Christina Milian,Paula Garcés,Monica Keena,Vanessa Ferlito and Kelli Garner.Of course any film you add Cedric the Entertainer gains stature as well.In this case as a ex con turned preacher.My only issue is no real  background development as we would like to know more about Tommies and Cedric characters and how they met.So 1 star off for a less than great script,but 4 stars for funny execution.Trailer URL after the pix and a IMDB summary below

Texas Ranger Roland Sharp is assigned to protect the only witnesses to the murder of a key figure in the prosecution of a drug kingpin -- a group of University of Texas cheerleaders. Sharp must now go undercover as an assistant cheerleading coach and move in with the young women. Written by Anonymous
