Fun enough for a Saturday night at the movies. Or cheap ass Tuesday.

Rating: 7/10 (14 October 2011)

Footloose is mindless entertainment with an attractive cast which is easy to watch and will have you wanting to strap on some cowboy boots and join a line dancing troupe, it really is just a fun movie that doesn't exceed any expectations but is still highly enjoyable. It is very loyal to the original film which brings to mind the question of why remake it at all? Well it has been modernized to suit todays teenagers and it still works well storyline wise.
The cast is pretty good, Kenny Wormald is great to watch and is a very handsome leading man who i can't wait to watch again, mighty fine eye candy indeed, the female lead however is horrible, the character is just a detestable b**ch, i didn't like her one tiny bit, her character somewhat redeems herself towards the end but for me it was just too late, but i suppose thats not the actress's fault but still she is easily the most unlikable female character ever in a teen film.
One thing i loved about this movie is it is a dance movie with a country theme, the country soundtrack is excellent, it's nice to see a mainstream film that doesn't use contemporary dance to tell the story, here it's all boot scootin' and honky tonkin'.
The only thing that really disappointed me was the lack of a Kevin Bacon cameo, surely they could've written a small role for him, even just a blink and you'll miss walk on role, oh well.
So if you don't ask any questions and sit back and turn off your mind this movie can be very enjoyable. Cut Loose!!!!!
