A great dance movie

Rating: 8/10 (27 January 1999)

"Footloose" is one of the great dance movies of the 1980's. The plot is a little thin at points but nevertheless, the atmosphere of the film makes it good. The dancing is great and the soundtrack is still fun to listen to even today. Kevin Bacon is perfectly cast as is Lori Singer. John Lithgow further shows his versatility as an actor showing that he can play comic and dramatic roles. I love this film and I recommend it to anyone who is a fan of "Flashdance" or "Dirty Dancing".
