Footloose

Rating: 6/10 (6 March 2012)

If your foot is loose, you may have leprosy. If you have leprosy, dancing could cause your foot to fly off and kick someone in the face.
Fortunately, the limbs of the youngsters in this drama have been checked for lesions.
When his mother dies, Ren (Kenny Wormald) moves to a small-town to live with his relatives.
Unfamiliar with the town's ban on dancing, Ren runs afoul of the reverend (Dennis Quaid), whose son was killed in a car crash after an unsanctioned soirée, and whose daughter (Julianne Hough) Ren can't stop thinking about.
Intent on cutting a rug, Ren and the teens of the totalitarian township team up to lift the draconian dance laws.
Though it never strays from the original's shadow, this shot-for-shot remake does do an admirable job of including soundtrack standouts.
Besides, if God didn't want us to dance, why would he give us booties? (Yellow Light)
