Movie Review: Footloose

I was a bit young the first time this came out and even though I am an 80's child, I haven't watched the film until recently.

Thankfully it sticks closer to the original than a lot of remakes that they are doing at the moment.  We get a bit more background on why 'Ren' comes to be living with his relatives, it's not so clear in the original movie.

Plot:  City kid Ren MacCormack moves to a small town where rock 'n' roll and dancing have been banned, and his rebellious spirit shakes up the populace.
