electrifying, 80's gem.

Packed with great music and abundance of energy, Footloose is here to kick off your Sunday shoes! After a tragic accident left a small, religious town mourning, dancing is off limits here. Too bad Ren didn't know. Too bad Ren doesn't care. He's new in town, but refuses to be the one to get pushed over. Going toe to toe with the town preacher is going to be a task all on its own, who helped pass the ordinance years ago, but hows everything going to fall into place when he falls for his young teenage daughter? Highly stylized for its time, and filled with plenty of catchy tunes, Footloose is going to make you want to turn your own living room into a dance floor. Kevin Bacon alone reigns supreme with his spunk, and it can't be denied he had some natural knack for this role as the new kid who is brave enough to turn some of the bible verses against the preacher ( played flawlessly by John Lithgow, surprisingly a great actor for this particular role.) If you're not ready to be energized, stay away from here, because Footloose will leave you losing your blues!
