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

Fun and entertaining. Alot of the original story, lines, music, and camera angles appear in this movie too. I loved the original and still prefer it, but Hough is a much a hotter g/f (I was disappointed she wasn't given more opportunity to dance on her own in this one). If you liked the first one, you should like this remake enough.

Guess I am just to old school for this one, though it did bringback some teen year memories in a big way....I just keep the older version in my head. Very good movie for our children to see, gives them the thought that they can have a say!
