Road House

Pros: Sam Elliott pretty much rocks in anything he does
Cons: Why didn't anyone warn me that Patrick Swayze was in this movie?

Have you ever seen a movie that you would consider a guilty pleasure? You know, one of those movies that you'll watch if you see it come on cable one night, and then mock the guy who admitted to watching it the next day at work. One of those movies that ...

Pros: Great fun.
Cons: Really bad.

Road House (1989) Directed by Rowdy Herrington.   "This place has a sign hangin' over the urinal that says, "Don't eat the big white mint"."  Wade Garrett.   This is a simple little tale of Dalton (Patrick ...

Pros: Excellent stunts and fight choreography
Cons: Plot and Dialog a little weak

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: Patrick Swayze and some of the lines
Cons: The plot seems weak and unrealisitic

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: One word: Swayze.
Cons: Even good-bad movies are still bad movies.

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.

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: dialogue, bar fights, gratuitous nudity
Cons: not enough monster trucks

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: fights, supporting cast
Cons: acting, predictable

Hey, let's face it, if you hear about a movie with Patrick Swayze trying to turn around a bad town, you know you aren't watching it for the incredible flawless acting. C'mon, there aren't many guys (and a few women, I'm sure) that can deny they don't...

Pros: Cast, Action
Cons: Not a great film

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...

Pros: Minor nudity - lots of fighting
Cons: Poor acting

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: Liked watching my friend Julie in her only movie.
Cons: The bad dialogue really made me cringe.

I initially watched this movie because it's the only one I've ever seen which includes someone I know personally...Julie Michaels, otherwise known as Julie Dawn Peluso, an old friend of mine from Kent, Washington, and a really sweet person (albeit not...

Pros: great acting  fast paced and action filled with a little romance
Cons: not for younger kids..some mild nudity ..violence

Patrick Swayze in Road House is my all time favorite movie.  It is approximately 114 minutes and I promise you you will not move until it is over.  It is R-rated so not for the young ones.  It is fast paced and actioned filled with a ...

Pros: Elliot and Lynch, bar room scenes
Cons: a few clunky one-liners, predictable

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: action, some laughs, romance
Cons: good guy dies

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

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...
