Review of Footloose (1984) by Adam F — 26 Mar 2013
When you hear the premise of "Footloose", it's easy to assume that it will be filled with broad cartoon characters, but it isn't. The main cast is well developed and we can sympathize and understand who they are as they experience growth and change.
The dance sequences are full of energy and will make you want to get up and imitate Kevin Bacon's fast feet, while the music and dialogue are sure to make you remember what it was like to be a teen in the 80's (or just a teen in general).
It's also refreshing to see a film where rebellion consists of debate and talking, instead of vandalizing and violence (and it's a disappointment that there is a scene towards the end that doesn't follow the non-violence approach).
It isn't perfect but it's a great time at the movies. (Theatrical version on the big screen, August 15, 2012).
