“Footloose” – Teenage boy wants nothing more than to dance>>>

I’m here to discuss about the movie “Footloose”, was released on 14^th of October 2011. The movie ‘Footloose’ was directed by Craig Brewer. The movie starred by Kenny Wormald, Julianne Hough, Andie MacDowell, Dennis Quaid……

                This movie is the remake of 1984 film. In this movie Footloose Kenny Wormald plays Ren McCormack and he moved to Georgia to live with his aunt and uncle in Bomont, Georgia after the death of his mother.

                 The youths of Bomont have suffered under a town ordinance barring all public dancing from past three years, the consequence of a tragic car accident that claimed the lives of five intoxicated high-school students leaving a dance party.

                Ren Vexes through that consequences like all red-blooded teenage boys and he wants nothing more than to dance, dance and he’ll be damned if he’ll let some reactionary law prevent him from pursuing his passion. 

                 He vows to have it overturned in time for the students of Bomont to a mount a Senior Prom, placing him on a collision course with Reverend Shaw Moore (Dennis Quaid), the uptight local preacher who spearheaded the anti-dancing campaign after losing his only son in the crash.

                In this new “Footloose”, the choreography is more sophisticated, the outfits more revealing, the cinematography more polished, the cast more diverse. Memorable scenes have been suitably punched-up- the superfluous tractor race is now a superfluous bus race, Ren’s iconic “angry dance” sequence is, well, angrier.

                Wormald makes for a surprisingly endearing rebel-protagonist. Dancing with the Stars Julianne Hough plays Moore’s fiery, troubled daughter Ariel whom Ren hopes to pry from her brutish boyfriend, Chuck Cranston. A scene-stealing Miles Teller adds a deft comic touch as Ren’s wisecracking and resolutely dance-averse sidekick, Willard.

                 Brewer’s Footloose still retains its predecessor’s earnest, unironic and avowedly anachronistic ethos. As before, the storyline, steeped as it is in melodrama and sentiment, often borders on embarrassing. And yet, there’s an irresistible allure to its prevailing tone of joyful exuberance, expressed most potently in the film’s lively dance sequences.

                One thing Footloose sings a familiar tune, but it’s got a good beat and you can dance to it. And in this movie Hough isn’t given the opportunity to shine as a dancer. This movie hands toe-by-toe with the movie “Real Steel”.
