"Footloose" is a pleasant-enough movie as it is, but I think it could have used tougher material and characters with more depth. We don't get nearly enough scenes involving the priest. Even if he is an obvious character, he still could, would and should have given the movie some juice. Ren, the character previously played by Kevin Bacon, isn't as troubled as you'd expect him to be, or as he should have been. With the title "Footloose", I expected something more. And I also wanted more dancing, too. The only dancing that's offered here comes during the opening titles, the last scene of the movie, and somewhere after dancing has been outlawed. If this is supposed to be a "musical", then the movie really falls short. I was moderately entertained, but not necessarily surprised. On another note, doesn't Ren's girlfriend remind you of Ellen Pompeo? And a little of Jennifer Aniston? **1/2 out of ****

Easy to watch fluff movie. You know the whole story from the original or the trailers. Arrive late and you can miss the hard to watch car accident and the extremely sad dead child speech in church. Fun dance sequences separated by forced drama. No surprises. A tad long perhaps due to the written and directed by syndrome. Could have been improved with more dance and less conversation. Stars dance 9 act 5. It won't be a classic of the genre or a trivia game without Kevin Bacon. Well photographed in interesting locations. Enjoyable soundtrack. OK for the kids except for the violence directed toward women, and trucks. Check your mind at the door, and go enjoy the popcorn.

First, I'd like to start with the great cast here! Julianne Hough was fantastic as opposite Kenny Wormald, who was a fantastic updated Kevin Bacon in this movie! Also, Andie Macdowell and Dennis Quaid were the perfect choices for Mr. and Mrs. Moore. This movie really captured the footloose energy! It excelled as the newer updated version of the 1984 classic! The director was very successful with making the film enjoyable for today's generation, and fans of the original as well! The dramatic scenes and well written dialogue contributed a great deal to the success of this 80's remake. The choreography in the dance scenes were so well constructed and executed, it was intense, sexy, and exciting!! I really believe most anyone will LOVE this very well made film! 10/10 excellent!!
