Roadhouse receiving mixed reviews

But THR liked it

Why'd they have him shave his body? Pan.

Unnecessary remake, as usual

That first piece of shit was considered a classic?

Gyllenhaal has tinynip and cannot pull off a hairless torso. He needs the hair to give it character. Otherwise, it’s too empty.

It’s like looking at Joe Biden’s face now. He has small eyes but he used to have big bushy eyebrows so no one noticed. The eyebrows are faint now because he’s so old and it looks like someone drew a face on a flenched fist.

A flenched fist, R5?

Did anyone think this was going to be Lawrence of Arabia?

You can only pull off completely shorn if your nipples are prominent

Harry Goodwins

Harry Goodwins...wins?

Jesus Christ the f and c are right across from each other on the phone

But flenched is a good word

What should it mean?

“Jake was startled, his face flenched with sweat.”

“Flench the egg before beating it into the sauce.”

“There’s been a flenching on the second floor. Multiple dead and wounded.”

Oh, dear, R10. Making long-winded excuses, are we?

R11 don’t be such a fucking flench.

I'll see your flench and raise you, R12, you goddamn flench.

I bet your anus is all flenched right now.

Makes for good fucking, R14.

R14 you know me all too well.

Only 12 reviews so far, 92% Rotten tomatoes rating.

The reviews have mixed degrees of enthusiasm, but here's a more ecstatic review (UPROXX).

[quote] A lot has been made about whether the new Road House should be in theaters or not (it won’t be). I saw it in a mid-size screening room with a grand total of four other people and I had the time of my life. Yes, show Road House in theaters. Show it at school auditoriums. Show it on bathroom stalls. Road House should be perpetually playing at all times everywhere.

AWhen did the original become a classic? It got terrible reviews upon its release, it was mercilessly mocked for its stupidity and preening male lead whom everybody in the film inexplicably fawned over.

December 21, 1991

The beginning of the movie shows gross fat ugly fighters. I turned it off.

I thought Roadhouse was about working in a rough Roadhouse. What’s he doing in a ring?

Roadhouse is a camp classic and EXCELLENT viewing. The MST3K tie-ins are bliss.

I’m old as hair and saw the thing in theaters. It was stupid fun.

This new thing with JG is heresy. Like remaking Mommy Dearest and casting Ana Taylor-Joy as Joan Crawford.

This will flop, and so will be his last gasp for playing heartthrob parts.

He's too old. He needs to be playing middle-aged parts. He's a decent actor, so it's pretty much a waste to put him over still as an action hero.

I just have zero interest in this film.

Timmy gave it a '10'.

I love Lukas Gage, so I’ll see it.
