Review of Road House

Road House (1989)
4/10
It's awful and it's awesome

This is the kind of movie that's very hard to rate. For all I can guess, it's a movie written by a 14 year old boy trying to come up with the coolest plot he can think of. Dialogue is dreadful, cinematography is dull and acting performances are absolutely cringeworthy.

At the same time, it's THE perfect period piece. This is the 80's. And for that it's 10/10 - if you enjoy the kind of thing I just described, you should definitely watch the whole thing. And if you're not, you should still watch the first 5 minutes and you'll see more 80's cliches than anywhere else in such a short time.

I won't spoil anything else but here's my take: if you want to time travel, watch it. If you want to see a good movie, maybe don't. Well, even still, it's worth a watch.
