Summary: Sweet little family movie to pass the evening
Review: Man of the House is a sweet little film. It's great for children without being drudgery for their parents to sit through. Jonathan Taylor Thomas plays Ben, a child afraid of getting emotionally hurt again by the men his mother begins dating after his father leaves the two of them alone and heartbroken. Due to Ben's mistrust, he "tests" each of his mother's new potential suitors, and none of them can stand their ground until he comes up against Jack. From there, the rest of the story starts rolling. Man of the House is definitely worth checking out if you're looking for something lighthearted but still-entertaining for the evening. Although, I'm sure the kids would probably enjoy Tom & Huck and Wild America much better since they're both more action-oriented movies.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Chevy Chase Comedy!
Review: Man of the House is a very funny family movie. Ben's mom is a single mother and is looking for a father for Ben. Ben's mom meets Jack and Ben hates him. A boy at school gives Ben an invitation to a group called "Indian Guys". Ben gets Jack to join (Ben's plan). Ben plays jokes on Jack to get him embarassed. Meanwhile men are trying to kill Jack. Jack and Ben go on an "Indian Guys" campout and the men that are trying to kill Jack catch him, but the other "Indian Guys" save Jack and Ben, and they become Best Friends.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Unfunny and Unlikeable Movie
Review: This dreary story of a man (Chevy Chase) who moves in with his girlfriend (Farrah Fawcett) and tries to befriend her son (Jonathon Taylor Thomas) is supposed to be a comedy, but there are no laughs here. Thomas is a cute actor, but can't overcome the poor writing. Chase is embarrassingly bad here. Why should the boy like this stranger who is shacking up with his mother? Not a family film and not recommended for any age!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: abominable
Review: This is the single worst movie I have ever seen in my life. The writing is excruciatingly bad. There are plenty of recent, quality family films. Please don't waste your time.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: JTT's debut effort
Review: This is without a doubt, Taylor Thomas's best movie, much better than Wild America. It just seems that he is a natural for comedy, like his role in Home Improvement. The soundtrack for this film is good too; there's a way kewl song during the wedding scene near the end---"Return to Innocence" by Enigma.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Slapstick at its best
Review: This movie combines the likeness of adventure, slapstick, drama, comedy, and a little bit of action all roled into one!

Ben (Jonathon Taylor Thomas) a young boy who everyone important in his life has left him, except his mom (Farrah Fawcett), who has just found a new live in boyfriend Jack(Chevy Chase). Ben is worried that his mom too will leave him for this attorney. So he tries everything he can to get rid of him and of course nothing seems to work. Ben finally meets up with a young boy who is part of the YMCA Indian Guides, Ben signs himself and Jack up. What happens next is wonderful, however what started as a plot to get rid of him starts to make Ben see some good points in him. However, if this wasn't enough Jack has a loony bunch of criminals trying to kill him for sending their father to prison. I won't tell you anything more for it will give away the plot. But Join this all-star cast of Indian Guides and the rest of the characters in a whirlwind of excitement

Rating: 5 stars
