adonis98-743-186503 Most of the reviews here are negative and i totally understand it it's a Remake of a classic 80's movie but that doesn't mean it's bad. You have Dennis Quaid, Andie MacDowell, Miles Teller, Juliane Hough and Kenny Wormaid. The movie was actually produced by MTV and unlike it's music and other movies that were garbage on that time back in 2011 this one isn't the cast did a good job and even tho i liked Chris Penn more than Miles Teller this one is a remake a goddamn reboot you can't recreate the same thing 100% just like the Original did the 2006 Omen tried that and it was well? pointless. If you ask me the best Remake that stayed away from the Original is still Robocop but like i said give it a chance you might like it much better the 2nd time.

Dom Nickson This movie sucked big time! They remixed all of the songs from the original for no reason and it sucked so bad! I almost wanted to throw up after seeing it. The dancing is just so embarrassing and it basically craps all over the original. I'm so appalled that this movie has a rating higher than a one. It sucks so bad it should of been rated the worst remake in the history of remakes! I would much rather see somebody suffering a horrible death than ever watch this film again. I feel embarrassed to be called a human being because this film shows how stupid we all are! We let this happen and now there's no hope. If aliens come down from space and see this movie they will probably look at us as if we are the dumbest living thing on the planet! This movie is the reason an apocalypse should happen! Overall the film sucks so bad I rated it a -1,000,000,000,000 out of 10 because it is the absolute worst movie ever made!

James N. O'Sullivan Last night, me and my siblings were surfing around Netflix looking for something to watch. We found the 2011 remake of Footloose and thought, "Eh, what the heck?" So we watched it.Biggest mistake ever.This movie is not only a pointless remake of a hallowed cinematic classic, it's just boring as a stand-alone movie. The film offered no redeeming qualities - none whatsoever. Even the dance sequences left me groaning and begging for the original (After completing the film, I went to YouTube and purged the old one out of me by watching the dance scenes from the original).In particular, Kenny Wormald as Ren was singularly a bad choice. His performance left me wishing for Kevin Bacon (who, ironically, recently appeared on the Tonight Show for a comedic reprisal of his Footloose role). At one point, my father walked by and commented, "He looks like a ventriloquist dummy!" Julianne Hough was also terrible as Ariel. She lacked the flirty, fun, mystery revolving around the original character. Her performance was dry, and her emotions were faked. One of the worst parts about this movie was Dennis Quaid as the pastor. His performance left me literally crying in agony. I have never seen such a terrible reprisal of a role. He was dry, stereotypical, and lacked all the emotion of John Lithgow's original character.Probably one of this film's only redeeming qualities was Willard, played by Miles Teller. In his surprisingly endearing performance, Miles Teller puts forth at least a decent acting effort. Not much else good can be said about this film update. If you get the itch for a good dance movie, this is NOT the one for you. Better to find and watch the classic original and not bother

TinyDanseur27 I was pretty disappointed with this version of Footloose. What makes Footloose such an enjoyable movie/musical is the music. Aside from a brief incorporation of the title song in the beginning, and a couple of the songs used as background music throughout the movie, this movie neglected its musical roots altogether! What a waste...There were some fun dance scenes but I found myself unable to enjoy them fully because of the blatant display of Julianne Hough's sexuality. I have some words to say to the costume designer. To be fair, her character was supposed to look and act like a slut. Still, I found that the powers at be went overboard with that depiction in this version.Kenny Wormald was a likable protagonist, Ren. His sidekick, Willard, played by Miles Teller was utterly preposterous however. I felt sorry for people who live in small towns in Georgia. Willard did not do much to convey a positive view of their lifestyle and culture.If you like dancing, you might find this movie enjoyable for the dance scenes. Other than that, I wouldn't recommend it.
