I would definitely recomend this movie it is great!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great family fun!
Review: I loved this film. Thomas begins as a selfish kid who tries everything to dampen any relationship between his mom (Fawcett) and his soon-to-be-step-dad lawyer (Chase). Chase meanwhile tries everything to gain his soon-to-be-step-son's friendship. Not easy when the kid's own father left him and his mom years earlier after breaking so many promises. Having to prove himself as trustworthy leads Chase to enlist himself and Thomas in the Indian Guides, a somewhat odd club of fathers and sons out to enjoy life. While Chase learns from the dads, Thomas makes new friends with such great fun child actors as Spencer Vrooman and Zachary Browne. Chase and Thomas finally bond during an organiszed camping trip, during which local mobsters attempt to kill Chase after he is assigned to prosecute them. In typical good wins over adversity fashion, father and son become a family as Chase marries the ever sweet Fawcett at the movies end. You'll watch this film again and again. In addition, it features a great soundtrack.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: A good child's movie- not for anyone over 12!
Review: I saw "Man of the House" because my younger cousin who I was babysitting rented it, so I thought I'd watch it. I found it to be typical mindless waste of film. My cousin who is female and 7 enjoyed the film alot more than me and found the message to accept your step father as a profound moral while i saw it as cheezy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Predictable but entertianing
Review: I think it is Jonathan Taylor Thomas best movie. Together with Zachary Browne he does a great picture. This movie is so "Americkan" it can be. No problem to predict the end after 10 minutes of the film but it is still much entertaining. New happenings all the time.

I loved it

Summary: A funny movie that deals with a real life struggle
Review: In "Man of the House," Jonathan Taylor Thomas stars as Ben, a kid who's dad moved out when he was real young. Now Ben is 11 and his mom (Farrah Fawcett) is the only person or thing that he's concerned about right now. His mom starts dating Jack (Chevy Chase), and Ben does everything he can to get rid of Jack because he doesn't want Jack to get in the way of his and his mom's usual routine and way of life. To drive Jack away, Ben wants to enroll himself and Jack into a new hobby that involves learning more about things Indians do. Will Jack take the hint and run away like Ben's father did, or will Ben and Jack get a lot closer?

"Man of the House" does have its hilarious parts, mostly by Chevy Chase's clumsy antics, but I liked it more because it dealed with a type of family struggle that I could relate to a lot, and the movie does a real good job of it. My parents got a divorce when I just turned 9 and I had to live with my dad. When my dad started dating new women instead of my mom, it was hard for me to get used to it for a long time, not because I was real close to my dad, but because I felt like most of the new women were trying to take the place of my mom. That's why I could really relate to this movie a lot and enjoy it for more than its comedy.

I recommend anybody who likes good comedy movies that are funny, but have a deeper message to them to get "Man of the House," it's a great movie.

Summary: Jonathan Taylor Thomas vs Chevy Chase
Review: It's Ben against Jack Sturgers in Man of the House. Jack wants Ben to like him and Ben wants to get rid of Jack and go back just him and his mom. Ben hates being called "Benny". And his mom fails to tell Jack in time that Ben hates being called "Benny" and when he does it the first of 2 times in this movie Ben says "He's calling me Benny already". As the movie opens, 5 years before this movie takes place, Ben's (Jonthan Taylor Thomas) father leaves him and his mother Sandra (Farrah Fawcett) and during the time she dates and Ben hates the people she dates and goes back to being just her and Ben until one day she tells Ben that she wants to get married again. And her new suitor is discruit attroney/lawyer Jack Sturgers (Chevy Chase). The first morning Ben skips breakfast and has lunch (a big lunch he bought at school) with his stubborn friend Monroe (Nicholas Garrett) who tells him hte longer he waits get the guy out of the house the harder it will be to get rid of him. And the answer comes to Ben when he meets an Indian Guides memember named Norman Bronski (Zachary Brewne) Ben joins the Indian Gudies with Jack and Monroe doesn't. Cheer's George Wandt plays Norman's step-father Chet Bronski.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Jonathan VS. Chevy
Review: Jonathan Taylor Thomas was great one of his best movies. With the sandy-blonde hair and funny but still cute bad attitude who wouldn't like this movie.
Chevy Chase was OK better then Farrah Fawcett but under Jonathan just a little still loved his performance. Chavy gets a 8 out of 10, Farrah gets a 5 out of 10, Jonathan gets a 9 out of 10.
They was all good actors and actress but Farrah and Chevy have made to many movies for an older group unlike Jonathan Taylor Thomas who was at that time still in kid movies.

It is about Jack Sturges (Chevy Chase) has found the woman (Farrah Fawcett) he wants to marry; unfortunately, her precocious, wisecracking son (Jonathan Taylor Thomas) doesn't seem to like him. So Ben (Thomas) tries everything to get Jack Sturges to hide the road but along the way they join the Indian Guides, a sort of bush league Iron John outfit. While participating in silly wilderness rituals, Ben and Jack of course develop mutual respect. And meet up with some of the craziest of people and Ben soon starts to learn Jack isn't going to give up so easy.

Along with George Wendt, Richard Portnow, David Shiner and John Disanti.

I think it is an amazing movie for kids and adults funny, smart, wild, and entertaining for all ages. I loved it and as a 15 year old you know it was a good movie how many 15 year olds do you know that would type all of this on just one movie?
