Footloose

Rating:
Summary: One of the better movies out there
Review: Like almost all movies this one has has it's cheesier moments. However, the music was above average, and the story line was not the worst one I have ever seen. The best part of this whole movie is the way that it deals with the hypocrisy of the Christian Church and its self-righteous followers.

Summary: INCREDIBLE!
Review: This movie makes a great point about the supression of ideas and thought and how harmful that can be to adolescents. Besides, the movie is a great 80's flick and has an awesome soundtrack--definately one of my favorites!

Summary: This is the best film ever made!
Review: I loved footloose in the 80's and I still love it now! It is definitely a classic, along with Top Gun. This movie will always be one of the best - Kevin Bacon was wonderful! The soundtrack is great, too!

Summary: Great music, terrible movie
Review: Okay I just bought the CD to the Broadway recording and saw the show on Broadway and loved it. The music is great. But I was so disapointed when I saw the actual movie, it was below expectations. Skip this soundtrack and go the Cast Recording one, the singers are much better.

Summary: ONE OF THE GREATEST MOVIES EVER MADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: From the first time that I saw this movie I knew it would be one of my favorites. The young Kevin is so good looking, with a hair cut that was before its time (which in now) the music and dancing, plus the rebelous acts in the movie make it an excellent show.

Summary: Great movie!!!
Review: I love this movie. Being a fan of the 80's is why I'm drawn to it over and over again. The music is the best. And I just love the actors. Kevin Bacon, John Lithgow, and Chris Penn are all excellent. I've watched it 4 times in a row and I still wanted to se it again. Everything is a perfect. A classic movie.

Summary: This movie portrays a top-of-the-line music score.
Review: The movie Footloose was created in the early 80's. Right there it shows that the music will probably be worth listening to. Being an 80's music lover myself, I thoroughly enjoyed the soundtrack. I especially liked the synthesizers in-Almost Paradise, Free, and Never. I am uncertain as to wether one can "wear out a CD", but I think I have already accomplished that. I think this movie will never die and I will make it a gleaming effort to show this to my kids, and on and on through the generations!!

Rating:
Summary: Very classic movie and soundtrack
Review: As I said in the title, great nostalgic movie, story, acting, etc. I enjoy watching the movie over and over. I would give this 5 stars but I will give the DVD tech guys an F for not putting any features (besides ws format) on this. I think some trailers, interviews, and other stuff would have fit. They could have done a little segment on all of the songs featured here. Aside from this, great DVD.

Summary: One of my personal favorite movies from the '80s
Review: I was watching VH1 over the holiday weekend and came across a showing of "Footloose". "Footloose" is one of my favorite movies from the '80s. I actually saw the film in the theater with some friends. We wanted to see "Splash" but tickets for that movie was out so we settled on "Footloose". At the time I thought the premise of the film of a hip teenager rebelling against an ultra conservative town with its anti-rock music and dancing rules, was a bit farfetched, if not silly. I still do to this very day but I like this movie more now than I did back twenty years ago. It's amazing how much Christopher Penn has changed since then. Not to mention Sarah Jessica Parker (still with her "Square Pegs" look), and Lori Singer. Kevin Bacon remains the same today. John Lithgow gave me one of his best performances I had ever seen before that godawful sitcom he starred in years later. Dianne Wiest was also good in the movie. The stars of the film I thought were Kevin, Lori, Sarah, and Christopher. The music was great. I love Bonnie Tyler's "I Need a Hero" and John (Cougar) Mellencamp's "Hurt So Good". "Footloose" was one of those movies where music and film went well together. To the reviewer who thought this film deserved a PG-13 rating...um? Hello? There was no PG-13 back in 1984. It was either PG or R. I would hardly qualify "Footloose" as being R-rated material. Compare "Footloose" by today's movies, it is a tame comparison. Despite being cheesy at times, "Footloose" remains a blast to watch.
