Roadhouse is great because it is bad. Sometimes that much bad just makes something good. I just can't see how this will be bad enough to be good. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment

teachercd Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 In my life there are two movies that I still don't know how they were green lighted. 1: Footloose. I love the movie but imagine trying to convince a studio to give you money for it?? 2. Roadhouse...I mean...it is about a legendary bouncer/cooler 1 Quote Link to comment

commando Posted January 17, 2023 Author Share Posted January 17, 2023 the script was so intellectual in the original roadhouse. can they repeat gems like this? 3 1 Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 I'd rather watch the Road House episode of Family Guy than a remake with Jake Gyllenhaal 1 1 Quote Link to comment

It definitely seems like a bit of an odd choice although Gyllenhaal can do the brooding thing pretty well. The thing with Road House is it's campy and over the top and I don't know if Gyllenhaal can pull that off. Now, to his credit he's a maniac in Ambulance and honestly pretty funny so maybe? 1 1 Quote Link to comment
