Footloose Reviews

Summary Ren MacCormack is transplanted from Boston to the small southern town of Bomont where he experiences a heavy dose of culture shock. A few years prior, the community was rocked by a tragic accident that killed five teenagers after a night out and Bomont’s local councilmen and the beloved Reverend Shaw Moore responded by implementing ordin...

Stepping into sacred shoes once worn by Kevin Bacon, Wormald handily owns the role for a new audience. Same goes for a terrific Miles Teller (Rabbit Hole) in the sidekick role of Willard so memorably originated by the late Chris Penn.

Finally, along comes a remake – a darn faithful one, too – that's not a just a pointless rehash or mindless retread.

I was surprised with this remake. The only median performance was Julianne. All others are well and Kenny is great. And the script was well adapted to the present day.

this movie was very gory it was like war between jack and joey the 3rd the gunbattles were gorylicious i cant wait till i see it again so i can have more fun listening to shakespere in the backround!

This remake does something less organically fun. It makes kids nostalgic for something they never experienced.

Oddly, Craig Brewer has softened the tone for his remake. But nearly everything else remains intact, and -- surprisingly -- that's just enough to win us over.

Paramount's Footloose reboot never quite cuts loose enough to distinguish itself from the original.

Somehow Footloose never finds its rhythm. The maudlin scenes drag on, and the livelier moments pass by too quickly. It only works when it settles down and lets the characters (and the audience) hang out and have a little fun.

This new Footloose is a film without wit, humor or purpose.

An interesting case in Footloose, I believe in other trama, but I found other, and is an incredible trama, I don't watch the original, and this new version is excellent, the dance scenes are fantastic, the music are fabulous, the performance of Kenny, Julianne and Dennis are fantastic. This Footloose is a new classic. I love it.

This slightly modern take on the original is great for family audiences as well as adults.

I went to go see this the other day with my gf for our 2 year anniversary (her choice) and ill admit i did enjoy it. Definitely not an oscar winner or any awards for that matter by any means, but i did enjoy it. Irts a fun energetic film with actually a few comedic lines thrown in. I never saw the original with Kevin Bacon so i dont know how to compare although my gf said it was nowheres near as good as the original but we enjoyed it. If your looking for a fun cheesy energetic film with some interesting dance moves to use up an hour and 40 min of your time then give it a watch, but if your looking for a deep story and top notch acting then maybe this isnt for you, 5.5/10

I rarely find a reason to log on and give my opinion about movies. But I was so bored and disappointed by this version of Footloose I had to. I went with my wife, my nieces (11 & 12) and my 8 & 11 year old daughters. I had high hopes. I did not for one second think it would be better than the original which I felt was fun. Well about 20 minutes in I thought I might fall asleep. The same movie but with less dancing, more talking, bland acting and bad music. They added all this rap and made the town dancers look too professional and the girls like Pole dancers. The character of Ren did the same dance over and over and over again. The movie was slow. And too long. And just not fun. The only improvement I saw was making Ren's uncle a good person instead of the bible thumping jerk in the first. This was a bad remake. And all 6 of us agreed.

Brutal movie, bad acting, horrible story, and lack luster dancing. The only thing keeping it from being a 0/10 is Julianne Hough's looks. Save your time, DO NOT BOTHER WATCHING!
