Movie Review-"Footloose"


Classic movie "Footloose" definitely gets you wanting to dance!

I wanted to see this movie after hearing about what a classic it was.  A must see film!  I enjoyed the movie a lot.  I seem to find myself enjoying more of the older films rather that the newer films.  

It seems that the older films have more meaning to them and are made to portray a message whereas the older films are made purely for entertainment--whether or not a message is actually conveyed!

Director Herbert Ross's "Footloose" (1984) is about a city boy, Ren (Kevin Bacon, "Frost/Nixon") who moves into a small Midwestern town and discovers that dancing has been banned from the town.  

At first Ren tries to fit into the town and their rules, but still somehow manages to be stereotyped as the "troublemaker" of the town.  With the help of a friend (Chris Penn, "The Darwin Awards") and the minister's daughter (Lori Singer, "Little Victim"), Ren decides he must do something to show the town what they are missing and that things aren't always as bad as they may seem. 






"Footloose" has some great songs, such as Kenny Logins' "Footloose" and Deniece Williams' "Let's Hear it For The Boy."

Good movie!  Money-Well Spent!  Check it out!
