Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

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

Synopsis

A big-city boy moves, with his mother, to a small town where rock music and dancing are banned. He sets out to persuade the local people to change their hostile attitudes. Good music and dance routines.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, 19 Mar 2005

By A Customer

This review is from: Footloose [1984] [DVD] (DVD)

I think this film is brilliant. If you love dancing and 80s music and especially Kevin Bacon then this is the film for you. It is about a boy called Ren McCormick who has moved from the city to a Midwestern town where music, dancing and all youthful joy has been banned. He trys to prove to his town that music can bring out the good in people not the bad.
This is a great film and for people like me who love any dance films and films like Dirty Dancing they will love this.

4.0 out of 5 stars Footloose, 22 Feb 2005

By	"serst35" - See all my reviews

I really like this film, because it feels like a nostalgic trip to the eighties, and the acting is great. I think the score is excellent, although the dance sequences could be better.That doesn't make the film any worse though, and I like the fact that the plot is all to do with the urge to dance. Kevin Bacon's particularly good as well. The reason I gave it four stars is because it might not be everyone's cup of tea.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not for people who don't like to enjoy themselves., 16 Jan 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Footloose [1984] [DVD] (DVD)

There is only one word to describe this film. Fantastic. It's one of those films where you kinda know good will prevail, the baddies will get their dues, and the guy gets his gal, but it's the music that holds the film together.

The music keeps your feet tapping from start to finish, and the last few scenes of them dancing in the barn having been given permission to hold a dance is worth waiting for. Ok, so the dresses and the tuxes are 1980's and I wouldn't be buried in them, and Lori Singer is the worst actress ever, but the energy of the film and the feet stomping music makes you want to watch it again and again and again.
