Footloose



Stars - Kevin Bacon (Current); Songs - Footloose (#96)

Here's what's wrong with the movie - Lori Singer. She's not a great actress, she's not attractive, her clothes are atrocious, and she's an absolute brat. How she got two guys to fight over her is beyond me.

And here's what's right - everything else, starting with Chris Penn. His Let's Hear It for the Boy is one of my favorite movie scenes. I love him!

Sarah Jessica Parker is bubbly, Kevin Bacon is charmingly cocky, Dianne Wiest is a wonderfully supportive wife, and John Lithgow is convincing (even though his preaching is a bit misguided).

And then there's the dancing. That's what this movie's all about, and it does it well. I still tap my feet every time I hear the song.

and your comment almost looks like a haiku.
but it's not.

hobbitsister said...

wait a minute - you don't remember the movie or you don't remember the clip?

hobbitsister said...

this is not photo's clip, but it's still a good (though long) one.
a few comments on the clip, though
- 90 years of dance should not have over half of it from the past 30 years
- check your dates, buddy!
- no breakfast club?! that's just wrong
