Writer/Director Craig Brewer (“Hustle & Flow,” “Black Snake Moan”) delivers a new take of the beloved 1984 classic film, “Footloose.” Ren MacCormack (played by newcomer Kenny Wormald) is transplanted from Boston to the small southern town of Bomont where he experiences a heavy dose of culture shock. A few years prior, the community was rocked by a tragic accident that killed five teenagers after a night out and Bomont’s local councilmen and the beloved Reverend Shaw Moore (Dennis Quaid) responded by implementing ordinances that prohibit loud music and dancing. Not one to bow to the status quo, Ren challenges the ban, revitalizing the town and falling in love with the minister’s troubled daughter Ariel (Julianne Hough) in the process.

Footlose is definitely going on my top 10 list of best movie’s ever. And what’s not to like, we have music, romance, drama, dancing, cool story and let’s not forget 2 beautiful people.
I was NOT expecting much out of this remake, but I was blown away. SO good! I absolutely loved it! We were laughing out loud and dancing in our seats though the whole movie! Definitely the best movie I’ve seen in a long time!
Footloose was one of the best toe tapping feel good movies of 2011. Can’t wait to buy and watch it again
This is my favorite movie of the past 20 years!! I loved it! Kenny and Julianne and Miles were phenominal! I saw it four times at the movies!! Can’t wait for the DVD!!
