Product Description:
A hip chicago teen moves to a midwestern town where thanks to a pastor dancing is outlawed. Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 05/23/2006 Starring: Kevin Bacon Christopher Penn Run time: 107 minutes Rating: Pg Director: Herbert Ross
Amazon.com:
Director Herbert Ross (The Turning Point) pulled a winning movie out of this almost self-consciously archetypal tale of teenage rock rebellion. Kevin Bacon stars as a hip city kid who ends up in a Bible-belt town after his parents divorce. An ill fit for a conservative community where rock is frowned upon and dancing is forbidden, Bacon's character rallies the kids and takes on the establishment. Between a good cast really embracing the drama of Dean Pitchford's screenplay, and Ross's imaginative, highly charged way of shooting the dance numbers, you can get lost in this all-ages confection, and you won't even mind Kenny Loggins's bubbly pop. Bonuses include one of John Lithgow's best performances (a bit reminiscent of Jimmy Stewart), and Christopher Penn (who sure doesn't look the same anymore) as a good-natured hick who learns to boogie. --Tom Keogh

Rating:  - Despite Its Flaws, An Eighties Classic
After hearing that "Footloose" was being remade (just in time for its 25th anniversary; god I feel old) with Zac Effron of "High School Musical" fame in the lead role made famous by Kevin Bacon, I couldn't resist revisiting a movie that was a huge a part of my own high school years. No doubt about it, "Footloose" is a film that screams EIGHTIES, defining its era in the same way that "Saturday Night Fever" defined the disco days of the Seventies (and perhaps the way that the HSM films will be seen to define this decade in the future.) It's all here: big hair, tight sweaters, tighter jeans, legwarmers (in a brief opening montage) and super-slick Eighties pop music...it was the golden age of MTV, and in many ways, "Footloose," like "Flashdance" before it, is a glorified, movie-length music video, especially in it's tightly choreographed dance scenes. To the credit of the makers of "Footloose," they tried to give the film some dramatic heft, rather than let it become just another of the fluffy, insubstantial teen exploitation flicks of the time. The problem with that is the juxtaposition of drama and dance is so jarring at times that the movie seems to suffer from a split personality, not sure whether it wants to be a hard-hitting message movie or little more than a live-action cartoon (kids who supposedly have never danced before suddenly cutting a rug with the best of them at the prom? Please. And the type of dancing that Bacon's character seems to favor is far more artistic than you would see on the ... Read More
Rating:  - footloose
my boss was asking if i owned this movie and i don't so i ordered it. this one is an all time favorite movie and i'm glad to have it in my collection. thanks
Rating:  - Footloose never came
It has been well over a month and I have not received "Footloose" from THMP752002 and they won't answer an email. I notice their other feedback is pitiful. Amazon should have never listed this seller.
Rating: - Bacon has a stunt double.
Footloose starring Kevin Bacon made him a star and even though he is not the one dancing in the film, his charisma and acting chops makes this dancetastic movie worth a viewing or two. Lori Singer looks so much like Daryl Hannah, I can't tell them apart! John Lithgow is a riot, he knows how to make his characters memorable. Good flim for its time but pretty much dated now.
