You’ve seen the photos. You’ve seen the poster. Now see the trailer.
It definitely has Craig Brewer’s Southern sweat all over it. But that’s all I can really say for it, other than yep, this is Footloose for 2011, where breakdancing is replaced with bumping, grinding, and a far tighter “Dance Your Ass Off” t-shirt than anyone wore in the original.
And what has happened to the world that we’ve become smaller and more in touch with one another, yet our grasp of regional accents has become even more loose and uninformed? I don’t know what accent Ren is sporting, but it sounds like Boston by way of Perth. It’s like someone wrote a description of a Southern accent to Kenny Wormald, and he followed it to the letter, but never actually bothered to listen to one.
Whatever, Footloose cast. You’ll never top the sheer fury and passion that was Bret’s Angry Dance. Now that’s a boy who has been told the town doesn’t want him around their daughters.

Sorry, but fuck this dogshit.
Yeah, in 1986 Footloose was watchable. It is now a bit of nostalgia. It does not need a remake.
Was that the plot of the original too?! Teenagers died coming home from a dance so the town banned dancing, oof.
I never thought in a million years that a true to the original footlose remake would have bus car chases with massive explosions. This film will be the camp classic for a new generation. Also, your right, the original was about religious zealotry. Having that angle just helps formulate a weak premise, why would dancing be banned, wouldn’t dancing just be banned? It seems that the town actually has a real concern( at least from an argument perspective) to not have dances. But, to ban dancing, it just seems silly…
