Footloose (1984)


FOOTLOOSE (1984) - April 28, 2010
An entertaining film about a high school kid who moves to a small town where dancing has been outlawed.  It isn't nearly as campy as it sounds (aside from a somewhat ridiculous scene where Kevin Bacon goes alone to an abandoned warehouse to dance out his anger), and in fact is mostly fairly low-key -- including some really good performances, particularly John Lithgow as the conflicted preacher who outlawed dancing in the first place.  ***
