Road House (2024)
Hard pass
Cringe and super cheesy. Terrible acting with some cameo appearances of known celebrities. I got 20 minutes in and turned it off. Even if I'm cooking I rather have something else on in the background. Watch the original.
The draw is Jake Gyllenhaal. Other than that he is surrounded by a cast of some known actors and celebs but even still it's hard to watch. The bar scene when the "rowdy" folks come in look super fake. They just simply walk in and start trashing the place for no reason. We are led to believe they've been doing this for a while and cops don't do anything about it. Cmon ?! At least have them pick a fight first, hit on someone's girl, get rowdy with the musician for not playing a song request idk anything. Please put some effort in making this believable. Hard pass . Jake, I guess you really need the money huh ?
Soul Food (1997)

A bit dramatic for my liking and also a very cheesy film. The acting is subpar but it's good to see all the familiar black actors and actresses in their younger years. At the end of the day it feels more like a soap opera. The reason I gave it a 7 star rating is because of the message of the film. The importance of communion and family. We all know you can't choose family but some choose to work through it while others avoid them. There's no right answer here but I strongly believe you grow more from learning to coexist with those you disagree with or even hate. Yes, the final scene is somewhat unbelievable but it offers hope and a happy ending which is not a bad thing. Lol
Cheers!
