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

 One of the best 80s movies ever & an all time classic for any age!!! May 16, 2009
Wesley Rowland (Oregon, USA)
This movie is awesome... Coming from one of the best decades ever, having an incredible soundtrack, great acting, and a unique story line- this movie is one of the best ever & will continue to be watched by every age group for years to come.
The movie brings back so many memories for me...
I still get just as excited watching it now, as I did back in the day!
Lori Singer and Kevin Bacon were perfect for the roles and what about Chris Penn's performance??? he did a superb job...
This movie never get's old and is just plain AWESOME!!!
I hope they put it on bluray disc...
Thanks for reading my review...
WOW March 25, 2009
J. K. Atherton (Fort Laduerdale, FL)
I saw this in the movies when it first came out, but I was amazed how many of the songs in the show are now 'standards'. We recently saw the road show in Ft. Lauderdale and it inspired us to buy the DVD. (The movie's better!!)

Footloose and Free! January 24, 2009
JEFFREY SMITH (Los Angeles, CA USA)
I cannot believe it has been 25 years ago that we watched this movie in the theatres! Wow!
It caused an uproar then with our friends but today seems somewhat calm and shows that kids really need a little freedom of expression to do what comes naturally. Of course, all within reason and respect.
Still a great movie to watch with your grandkids and talk about what things were like "back in the old days!"
Great flick, ok transfer January 13, 2009

Footloose is a bit of a classic, and still fun to watch. Great 80's dance tunes that take me back to my high school years. It's great to see the film in its original aspect, but there are a few scenes/shots, especially towards the beginning, where there is some noticeable artifacting or lack of resolution in the video. Not terrible, but enough to warrant the four-star rating instead of five. Still a good buy. (This review pertains to the Special Collector's Edition DVD).
