wes-connors Mature-acting 11-year-old Jonathan Taylor Thomas (as Ben Archer) is irked when beautiful blonde mom Farrah Fawcett (as Sandra "Sandy" Archer) hooks up with accident-prone attorney Chevy Chase (as Jack Sturges). After getting over his biological dad's desertion, young Thomas has become "Man of the House". He doesn't want to relinquish the position. "It's not just about sex," Ms. Fawcett tells Thomas, "I think it'd be a good idea for you to have an adult man around the house as a role model." Thomas doesn't agree. He intends to drive Mr. Chase out of the picture. Chase should have taken the ride... To bond as father and son, Chase and Thomas assume Native American Indian names and join a support group. They engage in some unfunny antics. Chase's out-of-control car ride is a relative highlight. Few appear to be having fun with this inefficient production, on either side of the screen.** Man of the House (1995-03-03) James Orr ~ Chevy Chase, Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Farrah Fawcett, George Wendt

goey312 This is a great movie for families to watch together. This is a story about a boy who is trying to stop h is mom form being with her new boyfriend. Of course nothing is ever easy and things never go as planned. To add to everything the new boyfriend has a dark secret. One that he doesn't want the boy or his mother to know. When the secret does get out everything blows up and the story gets very interesting. Jonathan Taylor Thomas does a great job playing a kid who whats to keep things with just himself and his mother. I was really impressed with this movie and was really entertained by it. It is definitely worth watching.

hogwarts814 Why this film is so harshly rated. I viewed it in English class, and can truly refer to the phrase "I laughed, I cried." I was deeply touched by the stepfather's urge to become closer to his stepson, and the Indian Guides were full of humor. I like two particular songs in this movie; "Gonna make you sweat (Everybody dance now)" and "Enya" from Pure Moods. I can't believe I went a whole decade without seeing this. I really don't think it's a waste, and I don't think that it "stunk". Sure, some things were a little cheesy, but there are hardly any movies today without a few cheesy things.It seemed very funny to me, and should at least be ranked a 7.5, I think.

Sammy-28 I think this is funny and sweet i think JTT acts wonderfully and Chevy Chase. If you love silly family movies (like me) and you love JTT then definitly watch this movie.
