When five perky cheerleaders witness the murder of a drug bust informant, they require 'round-the-clock surveillance to keep from being the next victims. Enter tough-as-nails Texas Ranger Lt. Roland Sharp (Tommy Lee Jones), who masquerades as their assistant coach and camps out in their campus digs. But these feisty foxes just want to have fun, and the buttoned-down Sharp learns it's no easy task to keep the uncontrollable coeds in line and out of harm's way. Cedric the Entertainer joins this spirited cast in a comedy that busts out with high energy, pride, and the joy of a Texas Ranger getting in touch with his feminine side.

Great Entertainment

I love Tommy Lee Jones, but this comedy with him is the best. I will
watch this movie again, and again.

CINCO CHICAS FRESAS Y UN AMARGADO!!

La primera vez que vi esta pelicula fue en un canal del cable, y desde un principio me moria de la risa; una muy graciosa manera de combinar la cruda vida de un oficial texano con la divertida y despreocupada vida de las chef-leaders; la pelicula no solo es comica, tambien es muy bonita en cuanto a contenido, sobre todo en lo que se refiere a que tanto las chicas aprenden a ser mas serias y reflexivas como el policia tambien aprende a descubrir su lado tierno, a comprender y valorar mas a su propia hija, sobre todo al ver a esta en peligro... La idea central radica en como dos puntos de vista tan diferentes (el de las adolescentes y el del oficial) se encuentran y chocan, repercutiendo uno en el otro y viceversa;al final ambas partes aprenden a entenderse y apreciarse, llegandose a una muy bonita amistad y cooperacion (las chicas ayudan al policia en su peor momento) una muy buena pelicula para verla en familia, sobre todo con hijos adolescentes.

Some cheerleaders

saw a crime now they have to live with this man. I've never seen the movie yet.

MAN...IN CHARGE?

There are movies released that are nothing more than formula films. Many critics chastise the film makers of these films for making what they consider drivel. The fact of the matter is that movie goers rather like these sorts of films, feeling somewhat comfortable with them. Such is the case with this movie.

Tommy Lee Jones stars as Roland Sharp, a Texas Ranger who has seen his partner shot down while trying to take in a witness who is shortly thereafter murdered. Shot in an alley, the murder is witnessed by a group of Texas college cheerleaders who then come under the protection of Sharp.

A fish out of water story unfolds as Sharp moves in with the girls in their house. Not only does he move in, he imposes restrictions and rules on the girls who revolt any chance they get. No cell phones, not going out and no dates lead to not only in house confrontation but having to track down anyone who escapes.

As Sharp does his best to protect the girls, the man responsible for killing the informant is revealed and he's tied into the criminal justice system. Eventually he WILL track down the witnesses and do his best to eliminate them. But with Sharp standing in his way, does he have a chance?

The movie plays off of the rigid character that Lee has played so many times before, most notable in THE FUGITIVE and its sequel U.S.MARSHALS. He is the tough looking tough guy who takes on all comers without batting an eye. And yet when faced with handling a group of young girls he may have met his match.

Along the way the girls learn a few things about themselves, turning out to not be the bubble headed bimbos that most cheerleaders are portrayed as (including first appearances here). And Sharp learns a few things to, like how to communicate with his daughter, a little about love and a tad about feminine hygiene.

Jones turns in a wonderful performance, showing a knack for comedy that was untouched until he hit the MEN IN BLACK films. Wasted is Cederic the Entertainer who is hyped as a major player and yet ends up in a minor supporting role. The same can be said of Anne Archer whose screen presence is VERY limited. The girls of the house? All are fantastic in the various roles that they play and the fun part of their being in this film will be waiting to see where they turn up again. All are lovely (a plus when playing a typical cheerleader) but they show more acting power than many would give them credit for.

This movie will not go down as a cinematic act of genius. But it will become a hit simply based on the fun loving appeal that it has to offer. This is a date movie that's safe to go to. It's a film that has enough laughs to make it worth spending the money on. And though while a bit formulaic, who says that's a bad thing?

Very Funny

Not one of Tommy Lee Jones best movies but very watchable and has an excellent ending. It's very funny to see him in a comedy as he as so often done serious movies, but he easily does the genre. If you get the chance you should see this one.
