Footloose

When this movie was made way back in the 1980s, it launched the careers of a few stars, now respected A-listers like Kevin Bacon and Sarah Jessica Parker. I wonder if it will do the same for this cast.

The movie is about a city kid, Ren, who moves to a small town. There he finds that his two passions - dancing and music - have been banned because five kids recently died returning from a dance. Upholding the ban is Reverend Shaw Moore .

It is quite inevitable what happens next: Ren challenges the ban, fights for dance, encounters a dance-off and falls for Moore’s daughter Ariel. It is as clichéd chocolates for Valentine’s Day, but harmless fun too. 


Rating: 4 outta 5.
