Footloose



What I liked:
  • I liked this version more than the original.  The updates gave it a better flow.
  • Kenny Wormald did a great job in his first major role.  Granted, you will always think about Kevin Bacon when you think of Footloose, but Kenny brought his own something, something to the role.
  • Loved Miles Teller as Willard.  He brought so much more life to the character than the original had.  He was my favorite part of the whole film!
  • The preacher had a much smaller role this time around, so Dennis Quaid did not have to compete with John Lithgow.
  • The modern dancing and the contemporary music was fun and energetic.
  • Ray McKinnon!
What I didn't like:
  • Julianne Hough can dance and should stick to that.  Acting and singing are not her strong suits.
  • There is no contest.  Dianne Wiest is a better Vi Moore than Andie MacDowell.
Grade: B+
