Apparently the people giving this movie a poor ranking HATE FUN

meh.

Fun to watch. Soooooo 80s. It's about dancing and less obviously, about where to draw the line in protecting children against corruption (AKA sex).

Go Chris Penn! A great artifact of the 80s, whose soundtrack keeps your foot tapping the whole time.

OK movie. The dancing was cool but overall kind of lame 80's flick.

Undeniably terrible. I still can't deny how much this corny piece of 80s made me laugh.

Nostalgic trip back to the 80's - corny and cliched but good fun.

This film would be getting a lower mark, but for the scene where Bacon gets angry! So angry he just has to dance across town. I have taken to this philosophy and every time me and the Missus have a bust up, I put my ballet shoes on and pirouette across my home town! Apart from changing my outlook on life 'Footloose' is shit.

An enthusiastic city slicker unites a close-minded hick town with the power of dance! Besides the Hollywood subtext that a dweeb from a major city is much cooler, smarter, and more righteous than anyone living in the country, there is some fun to be found here. There are a handful of humorous and inspired scenes here, especially the tractor battle! Sadly, there isn't quite enough to make up for the insipid plot, cardboard characters, and needless later melodrama. Mediocre.

They've studied the demographics, calculated their risk, and decided to stick out their necks on the bet that the movie audience contains more teenagers than Moral Majority members. The battle lines are drawn straight off, as Lithgow, with turn-around collar, rants from the pulpit: "If He isn't testing us, how do you account for the proliferation of this rock-and-roll music?" (Haydn, he explains to his daughter in private, is okay: "It's uplifting. It doesn't confuse people's minds and bodies.")

a great dancing movie and really cool.also very funny. 10 out of 10
