Summary: Charming, likeable family film...dreadful DVD
Review: A DVD worthy of being added to your collection, especially if you are a Jonathan Taylor Thomas fan. Not quite as cute as in his early 'Home Improvement' days, but he's still a gem nonetheless. Mildly amusing and entertaining movie otherwise.

Rating: 3 stars

Summary: As Unfunny as a Heart Attack and Downright Racist
Review: Chevy Chase has always been the laziest kind of comedian, and even at his best is mostly just a foil for cheap one liners and sight gags. Thanks to Saturdy Night Live, millions of people are used to watching for 90 dull minutes just to see perhaps 10 or 15 minutes that are at all funny. The ratio of funny to dull in this movie is even lower though. The worst part is the "Indian Guides" which are scathingly and shockingly racist in a way one wouldn't expect from Mr Chase the Alleged Liberal. A great deal of the movie is devoted to seeing just how much the cast and movemakers can mock and denigrate American Indian cultures. The audience I saw this with didn't laugh at any of it, they actually BOOED, and loudly too. Save your money, this awful film leaves you sick to your stomach.

Summary: Charming, likeable family film...dreadful DVD
Review: Even though it's been lambasted by some critics, I think "Man of the House" is one of the finest live-action films Disney has released in the past decade. It's sure to bring a smile to your face, with its memorable characters and genuinely funny moments. Chevy Chase and George Wendt standout in hilarity, and Jonathan Taylor Thomas does great in the lead role.

But, alas, Disney must not want us to buy the films we like on DVD. That must be why they keep releasing them in modified form, rather than the WIDESCREEN aspect ratio that they were created for and exhibited in. So, it's a shame I've been waiting six years for this movie to come to DVD, because it's a garbage Pan & Scan job, just like "Honey I Shrunk the Kids." When will the Mouse House learn?

Summary: Please avoid at all costs
Review: I give this movie an "A" for "avoid." Definitely the worst movie I've ever had the displeasure to watch (and yes, I've seen "Angel Eyes" so I do have a valid point of reference). Chevy plays a guy makin' bacon with Farrah Fawcett (yes, I did just vomit) while Jonathon Taylor "Buy a Last Name" Thomas plays the petulant little crapface son who is anti-Chevy from the start (let's face it, who isn't?) and makes his life a living hell. The acting is atrocious, the characters are poorly developed and hideously predictable, Farrah's nose appears poised to melt off at a moment's notice, and that little brat from "Home Improvement" couldn't be more annoying. There is only one moment that is midly amusing (when JTT names Chevy "squatting dog" as his Indian Guide name), but too bad I heard that punchline in a joke my dad told me in 1982. This movie is so bad that when Chevy drives his SUV off a bridge while rushing home to fulfill a promise to JTT you actually find yourself praying he can't open the window to escape. If you enjoy banging your head against a wall, eating glass shards, or applying a curling iron to your bare skin, this is the flick for you. Otherwise it is pure, unadulterated waste that a coprophagic dog would even avoid. Trust me, if you value your retinas, avoid, avoid, avoid.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very funny, but very much a shallow slap-stick comedy
Review: I like this movie a lot, but it's pretty predictable, with a very original but not highly amusing plot. It's the kind of movie you see when you want to laugh, and nothing in life really seems very funny. Kids of all ages will like it, but it does have a little bit of violence in it. But of course, it's still in that slap-stick way, and not really scary to all but the littlest kids.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: loved it
Review: I love Jonathan taylor thomas hes the best! its so funny

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Really funny!
Review: I love the movie! I liked JTT's acting and dancing. I wonder where he gets his talents? Since I don't really remember the contents, I can't really write about this movie. the only thing I remember is JTT's dancing. I think he's really . . . well, you could just say that I really like him a lot.
