Critics Consensus

Road House updates a cult classic for a new generation, happily replicating the original's emphasis on cheesy brawn over narrative brains.

Audience Says

Road House can sometimes be so bad it's good, but more often, the uneven acting and ridiculous story are just disappointing.

In spite of otherwise flat-looking film-making, the action choreography of Road House 2.0 is thoroughly enjoyable.

The gonzo magic of the 1989 original is gone, but there’s enough bone-breaking action here to satisfy B-movie aficionados.

3/5

The combination of Gyllenhaal’s easy charm, some Florida sunshine and at least one fight scene for the ages make this Road House worth stopping by. Just try to grab a seat in a quiet corner.

4/5

As with many movies where a paper-thin premise quickly collapses by the end—and just like the 1989 Road House itself—this new Road House gets more joyously absurd as it goes along.

Look, this movie isn’t trying to win Oscars. It’s here to entertain you with a healthy dose of action, humor, and Florida weirdness. If you’re looking for a film with a plot tighter than a boa constrictor’s grip, this might not be it.

It’s not perfect, or really even great, by any means, but it does fit comfortably into the oeuvre of the trashy, Florida cinema canon, with all the sweaty, goofy action that entails.

They really should have used someone else other than McGregor. Good grief. Bad acting and just cringe every time I watch the movie idk, just didn't fit in and seemed like it was all about him in the movie.?.... It's a good movie, but a different actor could have maybe made it a better movie and not as cringe?.

The dry wit and hilarious chill charm, make this an excellent present day remake. Hard disagree with the lower ratings on this one. There's a couple slower parts, but they never last long. It's interesting. Witty as hell. Hilariously timed. I love it.

Jessica Williams is the worst actress in Hollywood right now. A total no talent hack. Combine her with an infantile script and plot and you’d do better watching highway traffic than wasting 5 min giving this your attention…..

This movie is unapologetically for men. It's your simple new guy in town story. I really enjoyed how straight forward it was. Great fight scenes, simple story. You'll enjoy the ride.

Great movie with simple humor! No complicated twists, and yeah, the story is pretty shallow. But the action and the jokes/situational comedy are brilliant — it’s reminiscent of Ted or The Hangover.
