Hustle & Flow director Craig Brewer takes the helm for this remake of the popular 1984 musical romance about a big-city teen who moves to a town that has outlawed dancing. Uprooted from Boston and reluctantly transplanted to the small Bible Belt town of Bomont, Ren MacCormack (Kenny Wormald) finds himself in a repressed community still reeling from a devastating loss. Shortly before he arrived in Bomont, five local teens perished in a tragic car accident following a local dance. As a result, the upstanding Reverend Shaw Moore (Dennis Quaid) and the local councilmen passed a strict ordinance outlawing both dancing and excessively loud music. Convinced that the new law is hopelessly misguided, rebellious Ren puts on his dancing shoes and wins the heart of Reverend Moore's distraught daughter, Ariel (Julianne Hough), while showing his fellow classmates that it's perfectly normal to blow off a little steam with some loud music and good friends. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

This movie was a whole bunch of dumb... Julianne's acting is really really bad, she better stick to dancing. A really boring movie!!! Save your money. Forgettable movie.

This movie was a complete disappointment. The dancing was horrible and butchered the original! We would NOT recommend this movie for children. The dancing is very sexual and the female clothing is barely there. We would recommend the original with Kevin Bacon though!!

I was lucky to be around when Footloose, the original came out. This is not even close! I suggest seeing the original! The acting and character development in this version is horrible!! You just can't fake good chemistry.

By no means does this version of FootLoose comes close to the original!!!! At best, it is fairly entertaining. The climactic phrases and scenes were no where as dramatic and emotional as the original!

I enjoyed this movie. Love Julianne. I saw the original and I liked both of them. Miles Teller as Willard was really cute.

I was father of teenage children when the first movie came out. Now I am a grandfather with teenage grandchildren. I worried about the safety of my children and now I worry about the safety of my grandchildren but I know that they must find their own way and make their own mistakes. I am there for them without judgement. Great story of "letting go" as well as other stories in this movie.
