Reviews
GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
ComedyFan2010 The main issue people have with this movie is that the story is so silly. A town where dancing is illegal, whaaat? But turns out that it is based on a real story. There was indeed a town where dancing was illegal until the 80's. Only it was more one of those cases where nobody has changed the law for a century and it became a bit outdated.Besides being silly it is still a feel good movie. "I" love the dancing scenes. Mainly that famous Kevin Bacon scene as well as when he teaches his friend to dance.Another scene that I live is that tractor chicken game scene. Especially because the soundtrack to it is Holding out for a Hero by Bonnie Tyler. Oh that was just perfect.One of the things I love about big hits from those times is that it includes a lot of well known actors, most at the very beginning of their careers. This is the case here as well. Kevin Bacon is so damn hot and so incredibly young, it was the movie that made him a star. Lori Singer is also there looking beautiful, although as far as I know it is also a highlight of her career. Then there is Chris Penn who will bring a lot of good work in the future but letting us to see him dance in this one. And it was exciting to see Sarah Jessica Parker. She was actually still a teenager in this movie. And I must say I got all giggly when she gave Kevin Bacon a compliment about his outfit.
Amy Richards Where do I start this film is amazing, Must admit I think everyone had a crush on kevin bacon. Kevin bacon played a big part in it what just made me love him. Also the song FOOTLOOSE it is a song what makes u dance
adonis98-743-186503 Footloose is the reason why the 80's became such a hit there were so many great movies back then and this one is no exception i do like Kevin Bacon and he was really good in this movie and the dance scenes were really good performed and directed there's also some fight scenes and pretty much the final fight in the movie was the best i mean boot in the face. Rotten Tomatoes gave the movie i think a 59% or something and i try to understand how do they hate movies that they turned out to be Classics on todays standards? Critics even hated The Shining and Predator and even IMDb gave it a 6.5 i mean common? it's nowhere near that bad it's a great great movie.
Dom Nickson This movie is one of the greatest films I've ever seen! I mean hey it's kind of like a chick flick but it is truly a masterpiece. It really smoked that stupid pointless remake that couldn't hold a simple storyline. This movie deserves to be looked at more seriously though because it really shows how cool it was to be a teenager in the 80s. R.I.P. to the 80's that'll never happen again. If you want to experience a nice cool breeze of the 80's that says welcome back this is the movie to see. Overall the film is always something to look back on and how classic it really is. The remake forget about it. It's just like another Psycho remake which sucks just as bad and this one's remake. I have to give this film a full 10 out of 10 because it'd be a crime not to.
