Man of the House (Cheer Up) Movie

Yesterday I saw the movie “Man of the House (Cheer Up)”, which starred: Tommy Lee Jones, Kelli Garner, Shannon Marie Woodward, Anne Archer and Paget Brewster.

The plot involved the following: “Directed by Stephen Herek, Man of the House follows hard-nosed Texas Ranger Roman Sharp (Tommy Lee Jones) in an undercover job as a cheerleading coach. Though his assignment is fairly cut-and-dried -- after witnessing the murder of a federal informant, a group of cheerleaders from the University of Texas need temporary protection -- he ends up forming a variety of unexpected and decidedly less simple relationships. Aside from his immersion into the struggles and triumphs of the UT cheerleading squad (Monica Keena, Kelli Garner, Christina Milian, Paula Garces, and Vanessa Ferlito), Roland finds himself dealing with a strong attraction to college professor Molly McCarther (Anne Archer). Formerly titled Cheer Up, Man of the House also features supporting performances from Brian Van Holt, Shea Whigham, and Paget Brewster. ~ Tracie Cooper, All Movie Guide.”

I give this movie a “C+”, and it is the worth of an admission ticket, a small popcorn and a small soft drink. Generally it was a funny movie, but the movie script was weak.
