Burning down the 'House'

"Man of the House" is bad. Very, very bad. I take that back. Popcorn-flavored jelly beans are bad. This movie is a crime against humanity. \n"Man of the House" is about a cheerleading team that witnesses a murder -- yes, the ENTIRE team. Tommy Lee Jones plays a no-nonsense Texas Ranger who is assigned to protect them. I know what you're thinking, Tommy Lee Jones as a gruff lawman, what amazing versatility he has as an actor. Sure, he has played similar roles in "The Fugitive," "Men in Black," "Double Jeopardy," "Natural Born Killers" and basically every other movie he has ever been in, but this time he has a daughter.\nYou might think that with a plot like this, "Man of the House" would be tedious and predictable, and you would be right. The flick is both of those things and then some. In just over an hour and a half, this movie was able to completely destroy my faith in humanity. I would have walked out if I wasn't being paid to watch it. Actually, when Cedric the Entertainer had a dance-off with the cheerleaders I almost walked out anyway.\nThe plot of this movie seems to function under its own rules of logic. The cheerleaders witness a murder, but at no point does this become important since none of the girls can remember what the killer looks like. Yet, it is still very important to the state of Texas that these girls are protected from the villain they are unable to identify.\n"Man of the House" is easily one of the worst movies so far this year. In fact, its is so awful that I personally hate anybody who enjoyed it and hereby challenge them to a duel.
