Huge Kevin Bacon fan...

so I have avoided like a plague to see this version of the movie remade in 2012. I am guessing 2 years wait is a good wait to see it.
Dennis Quaid is a great stern preacher and loved seeing the WHY at the beginning of the movie; it makes more sense that the reference made to it in the older version. I really enjoyed following this newish line of script.
Don't get me wrong, the original Footloose will probably always be my favs - it was the one that we danced to after high school and during college; however, this version is an acceptable version to see, albeit it may never replace as my favorite.
I would encourage the naysayers to give this movie a chance. It did very well to tell the story and show the good spirit of dancing. May we all have the ability to dance with the freespirit that is demonstrated in Footloose.
