Man of the House (2005)

There are certain intense actors that one is tempted to advise to loosen up and Tommy Lee Jones is one of these, although he did a fine job loosening in the two "Men in Black" flicks.  Maybe he thought this would be another test of his droll comic skills, but he has no one else to blame for this idiotic farce, since he was one of the producers.  The story line is that he is a Texas Ranger who moves in with five nubile cheerleaders who have witnessed a murder and whom he must protect.  Cue a stone-faced Jones coping with teeny-bopper life.  Guess what, he not only learns to unwind a little, but with their help he gets the culprit and manages to reconcile with his own estranged teen-aged daughter and to romance one of their teachers, Anne Archer looking a little too cosmetic surgery enhanced.  Okay it may be harmless fun, but a totally disposable endeavour.  Incidentally, can anyone tell me what is meant to be so funny about Cedric the Entertainer (so-called)?
