Tommy Lee Jones plays Ranger Roland Sharp in Man of the House, a gruff Texas Ranger who goes undercover as an assistant cheerleading coach to protect five University of Texas cheerleaders who saw a murder. Stephen Herek directed this 2005 comedy, dropping Jones into fish-out-of-water territory surrounded by young women who confuse him completely. Sharp moves into the cheerleaders' house and has to keep them alive while they wait to testify against a drug lord, which means culture clash jokes about an aging lawman learning cheers and dealing with sorority problems. The film runs on Jones's deadpan delivery, betting that watching a grizzled Ranger navigate college life is funny enough to carry things. Cedric the Entertainer shows up as a preacher who ends up helping out. Reviews were bad and it did not make much money, but it is the kind of goofy premise that people find while scrolling through streaming. Jones plays it straight the whole way, treating Sharp as genuinely lost rather than winking at how silly it all is. His watch has not been identified.
