I really dislike the framing device--dumb, backwards small town Nazis need to loosen up. Enter Bowie-esque "man who fell to earth" to teach all the hicks a lesson, but who magically has it all figured out himself. The musical interludes are a fun enough way to pass the time, I guess.

Footloose is a bizarre mixture of charm and nonsense set to 80's pop. The idea of teens challenging authority for righteous reasons is a familiar tale, and all this film does is inelegantly add a tolerable amount of dancing. There are strong dramatic moments from Lithgow, and Bacon is good though often looks a decade too old. The soundtrack is probably the most memorable character. Overall, the film is uneven and goofy, but still mildly entertaining.

For a movie that is supposedly about dancing; there wasn't much dancing going on (that sequence in the abandoned train station was too awkward; so my brain shut down). The opening credits were cute and Kevin Bacon looked like a handsome human being in the surrounding ugliness that is called the 80s. For example, Lori Singer's body looked like it was drawn by an astigmatic art school drop-out. The only redeeming fact is that now I put some faces on that Footloose song that I heard all my life.

Even with strong performances from a cast that's giving it their all & plenty of super catchy music, as well as an enjoyable small-town vibe, it never quite gets out from under its goofy premise & takes itself way too seriously most of the time. The characters are likeable and interesting, but the plot often feels a bit disjointed & the story overall feels muddled in parts. It's worth watching, but it's disappointingly average as far as '80's movies go.

Another of those 80's "definers" that I've missed for years - and "missed" also wants quotes on it, because there's nothing here. Sure, I'm too old for it now, let's be even-handed. I give it points strictly for Lithgow's performance, and also for reuniting me with a song I despised and had forgotten all about: Shalamar's "Dancing in the Sheets". When you're afforded the opportunity to hate something all over again, it's this shadowy little gift wrapped in darkside nostalgia paper.

@BRYANT PARK, NYC Ostigt dansparty uppväger obegåvad handling och ganska vedervärdig musik. Förmodligen är detta 1980-tal enklare att hantera för den som inte faktiskt genomlevt det. Kidsens entusiasm uppväger alltså mitt behov av skämskudde.
