Footloose (Kevin Bacon, John Lithgow, Lori Singer) 3.5 cheeses 1984 Rock n Roll Imagine a town where nobody has heard of the band The Police. Nobody rocks, rolls, dances, or does anything fun at all. The main past time is playing ‘chicken’ on tractors. When Ren McCormack (Bacon) moves to town from Chicago, he is quite dissatisfied with the quality of his life. He wants to dance! Unfortunately, the strict religious nature of the town forbids it. Ren takes to jamming out to his incredibly powered car stereo in abandoned warehouses for fun. Then things get complicated when he falls for the daughter (Singer) of the minister (Lithgow.) Eventually they all kick off their Sunday shoes and cut loose. This is a must-see for anyone who has experienced the 80’s. I didn’t see it until just recently, and boy do I feel like I betrayed my Generation! I asked for the soundtrack for my birthday, but never got it (boo hoo,) but I can still sing all of the cheesy yet great pop anthems from the film.
