(Running time: 113 Minutes) Rated PG-13
Starring Kenny Wormald, Julianne Hough, Dennis Quaid

This is a remake of the 1984 movie that shot Kevin Bacon to stardom. Ren McCormack (Wormald) is a Boston high school boy who’s just lost his mother to illness. Ren goes to live with his aunt and uncle in a small town where dancing has been banned.

Dancing was outlawed because five teens had a fatal car crash after a dance where the kids were drinking and dancing. This film is based on a true story. The man behind the ban on dancing is respected Reverend Moore (Quaid) who lost his son in the crash.

Rebellious but good natured and sweet, Ren falls for the minister’s daughter who is also rebelling.  Ren takes on the dancing ban, recruiting fellow teens and even some of their parents.

The movie shows how teens can go over the top, controlled by their need to push the envelope. There is violence, some bad language and a brief scene of implied sex.  The music and dancing are simply awesome. Footloose is about imperfect teens trying to figure out their lives, watch it with your kids ages 12 and up. The movie might start some interesting family discussions.
