Sometimes you just have to dance even if you're not allowed to. Whilst I quite enjoyed the lively 80s soundtrack I found the story itself to be a bit flat, predictable, and boring. There could have been a better ending as well as I felt that it left a couple of loose ends.
The soundtrack is great. The dance scenes are fun. Everything else is kinda meh. I thought it would be better with how relevant it is in pop culture.
“Footloose” had one of my favorite soundtracks, nearly everything charted on the Top 40. And the Dolby 5.1 mix of the songs on the movie sound WAY better than the released soundtrack. You can especially tell with the way all the vocals are spread out across the soundstage.
Good movie, great songs!
A feel-good movie with a fun little story and good music. I love the '80s in movies so that helps as well.
Quite the iconic Kevin Bacon role and deservedly so! An incredibly well rounded film that I enjoyed start to finish. I can understand why they made a reboot, but this one really didn't need it with how well this holds up nearly 40 years later.
Rating: 3.5/5 - 8/10 - Would Recommend
In a quiet town, a young man from the city and his music scandalize.
A great story about a town where everyone has sticks up their butts.
Oh man, that Ariel is no damsel in distress. And Ren is about the most likable character I've seen in an 80s movie. I love this couple and I love everything about this entire movie. It's timeless.
Much better than the remake!
Wow. This is 50 shades of bad. I actually thought it was bad because I didn't pay attention in 84. It's 2017 now and it's full of nostalgia and great music but nobody can tell me it's a good movie. This makes The Goonies look like The Godfather.
Is this town crazy or what?Best starting credits ever and Ren is one of the best male characters in this kind of a movie. And great hair too!!!
