Entertainment Reviews:
...[Bacon is] superb....Dianne Wiest is terrific...
Variety
A cynical and manipulative exercise with little feel for the teen culture it purports to celebrate.

reignited the youth genre with the dynamics of music video aesthetics and has remained a cultural touchstone ever since

Q Network Film Desk
Rating: 1.5/4 --
Footloose is a seriously confused movie that tries to do three things, and does all of them badly.

Chicago Sun-Times
Rating: 2.5/4 --
"Footloose" turns out to be a sort of Boy Scout version of "Flashdance," a carefully toned-down, overly respectable piece of schmaltz ...

New York Daily News
Herbert Ross directed this odd but reasonably effective blend of rock music and didactic melodrama.

Chicago Reader
There's a plot that would have been dated in the '50s. Hokey doesn't begin to describe the inanity, the tedium, the utter lack of originality in Dean Pitchford's script.

Product Description:
This classic tale of teen rebellion features a delightful combination of dance choreography and realistic, touching performances. When teenager Ren (Kevin Bacon) and his family move from big-city Chicago to a small midwestern town, he's in for a real case of culture shock. Though he tries hard to fit in, the streetwise Ren can't quite believe he's living in a place where rock music and dancing are illegal. There is one small pleasure, however: Ariel (Lori Singer), a troubled but lovely blonde--who also has a jealous boyfriend. In fact, it is Ariel's dad (John Lithgow), a Bible-thumping minister, who is responsible for keeping the town dance-free. Ren and his classmates want to do away with this ordinance--especially since the senior prom is around the corner--but only Ren has the courage to initiate a battle. Ren's pent-up frustrations cause a confrontation with Rev. Shaw Moore and the local town council as he takes on the small-town establishment struggling to abolish the outmoded ban and revitalize the spirit of the repressed townspeople. Herb Ross's fast-paced drama is filled with such hit songs as the title track and "Let's Hear It for the Boy" and is a classic of 1980s Brat Pack cinema.
