Ackroyd and Belushi are on a mission from God in this road movie musical with great heart.
It's so original and a little eccentric but definitely a cult classic that is deserved of anyone's time.
The high quality cameos come thick and fast in this high concept one of a kind toe tapping gem.

Fast-paced page turner, but a bit predictable
From the opening scene, this book hits the road running. Lori, a straight-talking bounty hunter, formerly a stripper, is focused solely on her daughter and keeping her safe. Her job is to bring in her former bounty hunter mentor JT, who slowly reveals the truth behind his arrest and the reason for him becoming a fugitive. It definitely depicts the darker side of the Sunshine State.

It's exciting to read but not a literary masterpiece as such and definitely predictable. The plot is light on surprises and depth, but it's an enjoyable page-turner.

Straight-to-streaming remake of the Patrick Swayze film of the same name (haven't seen it), with Jake Gylenhall taking on the lead role as the ex-UFC fighter Dalton who is hired to be a bouncer at a bar called the 'Road House' in the Florida keys.

I knew beforehand there was a bit of controversy over whether this was intended to be straight to streaming or not: director says "no"; star says "yes" (I think it's that way about), but I could see this doing well on the big screen.

It's trash, yes, but it knows it.
