Footloose (re-do)

Directions:  Pre-watch preview in order to understand preview review. Review after the jump.


This preview starts off with a rock n roll song and then a bus crash happens, which makes the viewer depressed cause all the car trash is all over the ground. This old idiot comes on the screen and talks about how sad he is, followed by a judge who determines that there’s no dancing allowed anywhere in Bomont Proper.

Bomont and future bus explosion candidate

One of the main guys, called The Dad, has a daughter, named Footloose, and she is just not gonna take it anymore.  

Miley Cyrus is pissed at Dad.

Then the sun rises and Kiss Me by Natalie Ambrosia plays on the soundtrack. The guy, REN, comes to town and wears all sorts of neckties and always says “Move over, I got this” to people, then he stomps the yard real good. 

Footloose thinks Ren’s cute, Ren meets a guy who says he talks funny, Willard, he asks Willard about Footloose and what kinda things she’s into and who is Dad and what is Williard's name again and so on. After about an hour of hand shaking, and re-introductions, Ren finally meets up with even more characters that need to be introduced. So, Willard and Kevin Bacon become really good friends even though they kinda wanna fight each other but end up dancing several times in the hall.


Your voice sounds like shit.

Which one are you again?





Act III begins with a rap song, and things get up-to-date real quick. People do spins and flip-kicks. Kevin Bacon makes his body back-flip off a Toyota Tacoma!  Then, he gets a brand new Volkswagon Bug and the gas pedal doesn’t exist on the car, so that makes the needle on the record player kinda scratch and you’re supposed to think that sucks.

Sike, turns out it's a nast old uggo car.

The Dad (Randy Quinn) is a real drag to his daughter and says he’s “heard he’s trouble,” which is foreshadowance. In the original movie, John Lithgow kills Ren so I think that’s what they mean here in this movie. I think Kiss Me plays again at this point, but I can’t remember.


Kiss Me is playing for the fourth time.

Faults:

Ren confronts the judges and then there’s a montage of a train and some explosions.

During the "bus-off", so many bus explosions occur that they have to cut to a guy smashing a window with a crowbar just to break up the monotony of how many buses explode.  




Plus Sides:
Lots of good moral lessons. Turns out a couple years ago, after a barn dance, some dumb kids got their car split down the middle on the highway.  After their heads got crushed and cracked on the pavement, they made a shrine at the school to remind everyone how soft human heads are.  The Dad doesn’t want Footloose to lose her noodle all over the pavement.





SPOILER ALERT: FOOTLOOSE DIES AT THE END




Overall, this film looks like a good warning against dancing. Because, clearly, it was dancing that killed those teens those many years ago, and not drunk driving.


Let's go see this movie now okay!
