Road House

Pros: Excellent stunts and fight choreography

Cons: Plot and Dialog a little weak

The Bottom Line: Great action, nice looking characters, and energetic pace. The plot and dialog are a little weak, but it's still a fun movie.

Review: I've got a former friend who writes for one of the local fishwrap..er...newspapers in my city, writing mostly movie reviews. This ex-friend, whom I'll call "Richard Cranium" was constantly critisizing my taste in movies. After he told me I had...

Pros: One word: Swayze.

Cons: Even good-bad movies are still bad movies.

The Bottom Line: "Pain don't hurt" and neither does "Road House".

Review: I love this movie.

There, I said it. The sound you hear is probably my credibility being flushed down the crapper. I’m joking, of course. I never had any credibility, but I do enjoy this film.

“Road House” is about a man named...

Pros: Brilliant satire. I have never laughed harder in a theater.

Cons: A nagging suspicion that perhaps the filmmakers aren't in on the joke.

The Bottom Line: Who can anyone not love a movie about a PhD-wielding bouncer?

Review: After Dirty Dancing catapulted him to household-name status, Patrick Swayze opted to star in "Road House," a movie that's frequently heralded as the most unintentionally-hilarious big-budget film of all time. I, however, prefer to believe that ...

Pros: Elliot and Lynch, bar room scenes

Cons: a few clunky one-liners, predictable

The Bottom Line: A very enjoyable movie for men as well as women

Review: Okay, I'll admit that as a guy, I'm embarassed that I enjoy watching Roadhouse.  We follow the story of Dalton(Swayze) who is hired to help clean up the Double Duece from the constant fights, barroom brawls and turn it into a respectable ...

Pros: dialogue, bar fights, gratuitous nudity

Cons: not enough monster trucks

Review: Remember the white trash, redneck movies of the late '70's and early '80's? Most of them starred Burt Reynolds, and all of them featured fist fights, car crashing, and trashy women of ill repute. The plots were as thin as Calista Flockhart and the...

Pros: action, some laughs, romance

Cons: good guy dies

Review: What more can you ask for in a action/romance movie?
We get a butt shot of Swayze, Swayze kicks some butt,there is even a dance scene (what would a Swayze movie be without at least one?) and then the all time favorite Sam Elliott comes in and shows...

Pros: Action

Cons: Not enlightening

Review: I saw this movie when i was a senior in high school. I never liked Patrick Swayze films (what's with that hair?), but I was dragged to this one anyway. I am actually glad I saw it.

Swayze is in a white trash town, and he cleans up the local...

Pros: Patrick Swayze and some of the lines

Cons: The plot seems weak and unrealisitic

The Bottom Line: The only thing likeable about Road House is Patrick Swayze and some of the quotes.

Review: I think I have a Patrick Swayze fascination this past month.  I watched Ghost, The Outsiders and Road House  this past weekend after not seeing it on over 10 years.  It's a shame Patrick Swayze has cancer.  He ...

Pros: Minor nudity - lots of fighting

Cons: Poor acting

Review: I saw this on video when it first came out because my best buddy told me it had a very hot sex scene in it and that the rest of the movie was also solid. Since then it has been on TNT just about every month (with the sex scene edited of course).
...

Pros: Cast, Action

Cons: Not a great film

Review: Road House falls in the category of “poor films I love.” Patrick Swayze is an undersized bouncer that is contracted to clean up an out-of-control Missouri roadhouse bar. This is your basic punch’em up good guy versus bad guy’s movie with a pretty doctor...
