Love finding these DVD’s of movies we haven’t seen in years
Roadie is a silly movie, but it has its moments. My husband & I still have our occasional brain locks. We saw this on HBO in about 1980, and hadn’t seen it since, but still talked about it. We found it on DVD last month and we laughed and sometimes said oh–didn’t Blondie look really good then, and Hank Williams Jr. was kinda tame. We liked it. Some times it is over the top, but most times is kinda sweet and the music is not bad, except the title version of Everything Works if you Let It (there is another version which is not so bad in the movie) by Cheap Trick. Alice Cooper is fun to watch, but not as much fun as Meatloaf, and luckily they got Art Carney to play Dad.
An ode to hicks…
Four years after making his directorial debut with the art-house snoozer “Welcome To L.A.”, Alan Rudolph shows us what he really wanted from Hollywood was to be one of the guys. “Roadie” is a frat-boy fracas complete with barroom brawls, horny harpies, Art Carney in a souped-up wheelchair…and Meat Loaf at the wheel. Meat Loaf (playing Travis W. Redfish!) is actually a rather charming presence on the screen, and perhaps in a smaller role (in a better movie) he might indeed be ingratiating, but Zalman King’s script is full of stereotypical redneck humor and helpless Meat Loaf is kept wide-eyed and moronic. Alice Cooper, Roy Orbison, Hank Williams, Jr., and Blondie all make appearances–and all look embarrassed. They certainly should, “Roadie” is one bad trip. NO STARS from ****
