Dove Review

Man of the House could be subtitled, Dumb and Dumber Cheerleaders Meet Walker, Texas Ranger. It’s made up of a band of stereotypes from the take-no-prisoners Texas Ranger (Jones), who neglects his daughter because of his devotion to catching bad guys, to an African-American con-man (Cedric the entertainer) who hides behind a minister’s robe, to a group of dumb beautiful college cheerleaders. One of the cheerleaders is an especially dumb blonde valley girl who is flunking her classes because of her ‘extra-curricular’ passions. All of these characters lend themselves to a story that is one big cliché. The Ranger bonds with the cheerleaders who advise him on everything from how to win a lady professor (Ann Archer) to how to reunite with his daughter. And, of course, the phony minister performs the marriage ceremony which resembles a scene from “Footloose” more than a sacred nuptial. This movie is corny but it has a couple of funny scenes in a tasteless sort of way. The saving grace to this movie is that we cannot award it a Dove Seal due to a couple of gratuitous profanities, thus preventing Dove devotees from wasting their hard-earned money.
