Sitting at the bar tonight the topic of Roadhouse came up, I was the only one who had seen it, and all I could say was that it was OK.

When asked why it comes down to the original Roadhouse is a guy flick, which means it has T&A in it, the only T&A in the new version is of Connor McGregor's butt. Also the film climax can be seen a mile away.

So I don't see this film being watched more that once by guys. Notice the reviewer is assumed to be a female.

movie sucked, cast sucked not a beautiful women in the whole movie. jake sucked at being Dalton. Dalton the philosopher bouncer “Man’s search for faith. That sort of shit.” The new doc instead of being the hottest woman on the planet is a PC fembot with the usual haircut and dresses and talks like a man. Other than the names this is not a roadhouse movie. It is the usual PC/girl power racist crap. I wouldnt waste my time watching it again and I recommend you dont waste yours too.

Not likely I would ever watch it.

The original is “ICONIC”.

For some movies like Titanic, remakes are great! I don’t see it with Roadhouse.

Conor McGregor's acting and mannerisms are so overblown they're cartoon-like. He even sounds like he's doing a fake Irish accent (when he is Irish).

I imagine Patrick Swayze looking down from that great cinema theater in the sky, smiling and saying, "Not as easy as it looks, is it?"

Jake Gyllenhaal has given some powerful performances in some very high-quality movies. I can’t imagine what possessed him to stoop so low as to be associated with a film this corny.

Would be better as an animated superhero children’s movie. Then I would have not watched it. Worst—I mean worst—movie that I ever wasted 2 hours of my time on.

I’ll stick with the Critical Drinker’s review: “Road House - Just... Why?”

The original Roadhouse is basically an A-Team episode... with profanity, death and boobs. But the plot is straight out of A-Team... and the Hulk... also Kung Fu. It’s a tried and true plot.

I was a victim.

Firkin wee Todd it.

The first one was almost tongue in cheek in that 80s “ya we’re playing this as serious but you know we are all just having fun”. This one pretends that such an idiotic story is possible and takes itself far too serious.

Pretty good movie even with crazy Connor McGregor in it. It’s a good fight movie.
