Editorial Review:

Product Description:

Director Herbert Ross (The Turning Point) pulled a winning movie out of this almost self-consciously archetypal tale of teenage rock rebellion. Kevin Bacon stars as a hip city kid who ends up in a Bible-belt town after his parents divorce. An ill fit for a conservative community where rock is frowned upon and dancing is forbidden, Bacon's character rallies the kids and takes on the establishment. Between a good cast really embracing the drama of Dean Pitchford's screenplay, and Ross's imaginative, highly charged way of shooting the dance numbers, you can get lost in this all-ages confection, and you won't even mind Kenny Loggins's bubbly pop. Bonuses include one of John Lithgow's best performances (a bit reminiscent of Jimmy Stewart), and Christopher Penn (who sure doesn't look the same anymore) as a good-natured hick who learns to boogie. --Tom Keogh

- Still powerful after 2 decades+
I watched this movie in the 1980's, and loved it. The soundtrack from Footloose and Flash Dance were part of my workout routine at the time. (When I was thinner, and more fit.)

The story itself is perhaps a bit improbable. Imagine, a town banning dancing and rock 'n roll music?! Oh, but wait, remember how so many people in the 1950's warned against the evils of Rock 'n Roll? Maybe this story isn't so offbase.

This movie is really a story of adolescents struggling to find ... Read More

Footloose" is a fun and very lighthearted motion picture that promises a good time and delivers.

The film has a simple, if unlikely, plotline. Streetsmart but gentle teenager Ren MacCormack(Kevin Bacon) arrives from the big city with his mother in the backwater town of Bomont. Enrolling at the local high school, he is appalled to discover the town's adults have imposed a law on "public dancing" and rock music, as enforced and practiced by the local preacher(John Lithgow). Ren quickly ... Read More

- Footloose and fanciful
Good movie overall, in my opinion. The way it was made is most of the appeal (music written for the plot), but the plot resonates too. There are a lot of religious people who act like the people in this town, trying to keep bad things from ever happening. But being straight-laced comes way too close to straight-jacketed here, and in a fairly stereotypical way. They could've used a little more balance in the religious things, but for the purposes of the story it isn't that far from usual.

This movie makes me feel happy. I don't dance like Kevin, but I can dream!
