Classic tale of teenage rebellion and repression features a delightful combination of dance choreography and realistic and touching performances. When teenager Ren McCormack and his family move from big-city Chicago to a small Midwestern town, he's in for a real case of culture shock. Though he tries hard to fit in, the streetwise Ren can't quite believe he's living in a place where rock music and dancing are illegal. However, there is one small pleasure: Ariel Moore, a troubled but lovely blonde with a jealous boyfriend. And a Bible-thumping minister, who is responsible for keeping the town dance-free. Ren and his classmates want to do away with this ordinance, especially since the senior prom is around the corner, but only Ren has the courage to initiate a battle to abolish the outmoded ban and revitalize the spirit of the repressed townspeople. Fast-paced drama is filled with such now-famous hit songs as the title track and "Let's Hear It for the Boy".
Leave your thoughts about Footloose.
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA lively and entertaining youth drama about the coming of change in a repressive small town. |
| VarietyVariety StaffEssential to the result is young Kevin Bacon, superb in the lead part. |
| eFilmCritic.comRob GonsalvesFootloose wasn't exactly a critical fave, but it didn't try to be hip and it had a relatively light touch, with recognizable human beings on the screen. |
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrThe musical sequences are good enough that they make you wish Ross had been willing to leave the surface realism behind and break out into the high stylization and exuberance of the genre's classic days. Despite the hesitations, it's miles above "Flashdance" in technique and intelligence. |
| NewsweekDavid AnsenFootloose turns out to be a sort of Boy Scout version of “Flashdance,” a carefully toned-down, overly respectable piece of schmaltz. |
| Mania.comRob VauxIt dates itself in the best possible way for a little throwback kick. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzIt's watchable only because the energetic cast does wonders with the banal story. |
| Q Network Film DeskJames Kendrickreignited the youth genre with the dynamics of music video aesthetics and has remained a cultural touchstone ever since |
| Sarasota Herald-TribuneChristopher LloydFor such an iconic dance movie, Footloose is an odd bird of a movie with surprisingly little dancing. |
