Wonderfully entertaining!!

Rating: Null/10 (1 September 2011)

I admit it, I have not seen the original. Bits and scenes, but not all of it. I really like Kenny in Center Stage: Turn it Up, so when a friend asked me to a sneak preview of Footloose I said 'sure!' Wow! I can't tell you how much I LOVE this movie. The dancing is fabulous and the acting is so much better than I had hoped for from dancers (when I see a dance movie, though, I don't care as much if the acting is sub-par as long as the choreography and dancers are great). I wasn't expecting much going into the theater, I don't know much about the story other than there would be dancing. Let me tell you, I wasn't just pleasantly surprised by this movie - I was blown away by the comedy, the choreography and the lovable characters. The music is a great mix of styles and genres (I'll be looking up the soundtrack for purchase, too). If you like dancing, rebel children or sweet love stories this movie should make you smile. I highly recommend it, and go ahead and see it in the theater - the music and dancing are great on a big screen!
