Review of Footloose

Remake of the classic '80s dance movie is faithful to the Kevin Bacon original. The movie's messages are positive -- that teenagers have a voice, that they can make a difference, and that they deserve to be heard.

After Ren McCormack (Kenny Wormald) mother dies of leukemia, he moves from Boston to live with his aunt and uncle in small-town Bomont, Georgia. Ren is shocked to discover that in the aftermath of a tragic accident, Bomont has a strictly enforced town-wide curfew on its teens and has made it illegal for underage adolescents to dance in public. Ren decides to challenge the system to finally allow dancing.

The movie is all about fear, passion and love to dance.
