Man of the House (1995)

5.2

Plot: A few years after Ben Archer's parents divorce, his mom's new boyfriend Jack moves in and makes changes that Ben doesn't like. On friends' advice, Ben gets Jack to join the Indian Guides with him, hoping the experience will send Jack running. At first Jack does want to run, but another parent in the Guides tells him that Ben's afraid of losing his mom, so Jack stays and wants to give it, and Ben, his best effort. Unfortunately, Jack is a prosecutor and someone's gunning for him.

Alternative Plot: Despite having a dangerous criminal with a vendetta after him, attorney Jack Sturges (Chevy Chase) has a tougher adversary to worry about -- his girlfriend's son, Ben (Jonathan Taylor Thomas). As Sturges and Ben's mom, Sandy (Farrah Fawcett), become more serious, Ben increasingly ups his efforts to sabotage the relationship, since he has no intention of giving up his prime spot in the household dynamic. Sturges is determined to connect with Ben, but Ben is going to make him work for it.
