The previous Road House that this one tries hard to follow is very iconic for many reasons; if you've seen it, then you know them. This one pays homage to it with some fairly cheesy forced lines, but I don't really know what choice they had. It's probably as good as it could have been, all things considered. The characters which made this somewhat enjoyable for me were Beau and Nadja. Ellen Hollman rarely disappoints (minus the ridiculous tramp stamp), and Marisa's small presence, was more convincing than Jake Busey being the villain. At least she seemed sinister, all 85 lbs of her. Will Patton has always been a solid actor in my book, so didn't mind his work here either. All in all, watchable.. but not great. I thought Busey, although (unintentionally?) funny, was kind of a miscast here and because of that, his "serious" scenes seemed awkward and a bit cringe. Still, if you pedestal the first one and want to see some extended, kind of related story, then give it a go.
