Movie Review - Footloose

 
I’ve had Footloose on my calendar ever since I saw it coming out but didn’t think I would actually get to go see it in the theater.  Adam isn’t too big on dancing movies.

Well since nothing was playing that we both wanted to see and I REALLY wanted to see Footloose he agreed since I went and saw Moneyball when I didn’t really want to.  Fair is fair!

We both ended up LOVING IT! Well Adam liked it and I LOVED it. :)

Now, I have to fess up.  I haven’t seen the original.  Well, I think I did see it when I was little because I can remember a scene but I don’t remember anything else about it.  I’m not sure how it compared but I heard a lot of ladies in the bathroom afterwards talking about how good the new version  was but they still liked the original better. But who DOESN’T right?

Hopefully I can get on the ball and rent the Kevin Bacon version soon and I can let you know how much I LOVE it too!

I’m not doing my normal Q&A because let’s face it … we all know what it’s about.  I will say that the dancing was awesome, the acting was great, and it was HILARIOUS!! I couldn’t believe how funny it was.  I wish I could remember some of the lines that cracked us up!

Other than the lead characters (Ren & Ariel), Willard has to be my favorite. Especially when he’s learning to dance! I’m not sure how close the two stories are with the movies but his character was great!

So I give this movie a 10 because there is nothing that I would change or make better! I will definitely be buying this one when it comes out on DVD!
