When you are the only boy among three girls you get dragged to films like this.

Rating: 3/10 (17 December 2010)

I spent the night with two of my cousins when I was young. Along with me was my sister so I got dragged to "Footloose" and suffice to say I was bored out of my mind! This is just not a film for a nine year old kid and not really for me now either. It is just not a movie that is going to crack my fave films of all time for obvious reasons. The main one being I like to see movies as an escape and when escaping with this film I get to go into a small town where dances and such are not allowed. What fun! Especially considering I live in Alabama in a small town I just have no urge to revisit places like this on the big or small screen. The film does star Kevin Bacon though, and he is not the typical lead in a film such as this so he adds something to the film as does John Lithgow. Though not enough as the rest of the cast is typical of a mindless flick such as this. The premise is bland, the film is bland, that song by Kenny Loggins was kind of catchy though. Still, this is not a favorite genre of mine so this film is not going to be something I would care to see again.
