Kids just wanna dance

Footloose (1984)

Directed by Herbert Ross this film stars Kevin Bacon, Lori Singer, John Lithgow and Dianne Wiest. Moving from the big city to a rural town a teenager finds that the local council has banned dancing and modern music.

Coming with a heavily slice of 80s cheese this is a fairly simple film about kids that just want to dance and have fun. The film does have some heart to it but deals with the deeper issues only on a pretty superficial level. I enjoyed the performances from the cast but the music used was not especially to my taste.


3/5
