An Absolute Shambles of a Movie

I am very forgiving when it comes to bad movies. I give the creator, director, actors, the benefit of the doubt and try to see the good in it. If it were not for Jake Gyllenhaal, the wildly popular dude from the 2005 Brokeback Mountain movie. who starred alongside Heath Ledger RIP, I would have shut the movie right off. Redos, remakes can often be tolerated. NOT THIS ONE!!! If you loved Roadhouse the original movie of 1989, that starred the immortal Patrick Swayze RIP, oh hell no, you will be disgusted beyond measure at this new Roadhouse redo. It made a complete mockery of the original. Also Connor McGregor, the little leprechaun, as Liam Neeson refers to him as, made a right fool of himself in it. There is no describing the absolute shambles and ridiculousness of this movie!! Go for it if you are brave enough. Have you seen it? I couldn't have been more disgusted.

Didn't see the original and didn't fancy this one at all. Modern remakes are seldom anywhere near as good as the first one

@RebeccasFarm Just watched a YouTube review of it and he was far more robust in his use of language!

I do have to agree with you. Jake is about the only reason to keep watching, if you like him as an actor. Connor was a complete mess. In the first 5 minutes of him in the movie, I wanted to kill him. I'm not quite sure it was the over acting or was that the way they wanted the character. Either way every scene with him in it I was just hoping the scene would end.

He is a right shambles is Connor..so full of himself and useless as an actor.

I was wondering if this movie was anything like the original. Glad to know I don't have to watch it to find out. Thanks for your review.

I don't like to watch remakes. I put so much store in the original the remake usually just irritates me. Too bad a good actor is in a poor film.

I do remember the original Roadhouse. I just would not want to see any redo of any Patrick Swayze movie . . . I didn't even want to see the redo of Dirty Dancing. So this one I would skip for sure. I believe your review!

I have not seen it. I hate remakes. I refuse to watch remakes for example Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory. The original is legendary. The remakes are Trash.

I haven't seen either version but I'll watch out for it so I can dodge it. They're showing My Left Foot at the clubhouse tomorrow. I haven't seen that although I know it's an oldie.

And I'm the same way, if a movie is awful, I just continue to watch it to the end. If it's filthy, we turn the DVD player off and never watch that movie again.

I did love the original Roadhouse and was going to watch the new remake but after reading this I think I'll probably pass.
