The 1984 classic is now the modern hit that will make you stand up and cheer! Big city teen Ren McCormack (Kenny Wormald) moves to a quiet town and discovers that the hard-line minister has outlawed loud music and dancing. But everything changes when Ren decides to challenge the ban, revitalizing the town and falling in love with the minister's daughter Ariel (Julianne Hough). Critics and audiences agree "Footloose has an infectious spirit" (Alynda Wheat, PEOPLE) so get ready to cut loose! (official distributor synopsis)

Get ready for some serious dancing!? Oh come on, where? To be honest, the choreography in this movie didn't grab me by the heartstrings, or by anything else, let alone the music that accompanied it all. I really like dancing, but this didn't really grab me. Neither did the story. The kid had a pretty good character, but that’s hardly enough to carry an entire movie like this. Nor is the friend who doesn’t dance. I don't even know who I could recommend this movie to...

It's a remake and nothing else. All the scenes are essentially the same, just slightly modernized, but there are no plot surprises, and many scenes literally repeat themselves, just with different actors. I don't understand what the point of such a work is. It's nice to look at, but it's just a newer copy, nothing extra.
