i use to love this movie and and i remember i get the soundtrack for easter when i be like and 11 or something . it really be a crummy movie and but oddly engaging . mainly because it be so incredibly surreal and laughable in how it take itself so seriously . possible spoilersi remember even a a kid and i think holy cow and for a town that do not allow dancing and music for year and these kid sure can dance well . what be even funny be the people who be in it lithgow do this film two year after garp . do he think that this be go to be a meaty role . but then again and he do willingly star in third rock from the sun . and dianne wiest woody allen staple and oscar winner and who have about 4 line in the movie . her job be to pretty much look pensive and pious . i do not think i even need to bring up mr. kevin bacon and his goofy dance through the grain mill . while this film be not as inherently horrible a say and xanadu and it also not nearly as hilarious because it take itself waaaaaaay too seriously . of course and it have it moment and especially the part where the dance be begin and no one be dance . why . let pretend it not because kevin bacon isn not there in his stupid outfit to scream let daaaaaaaance . and ( rather and be outside get his as beat down by the head redneck until he somehow manage to pull out of it and kick say redneck as . how the hell do that happen . ) but in reality because the song playing be the loverboy guy and ann wilson almost paradise . i think that a kid if we be sexually oppress and shelter and that song come on we wouldn not have dance to that crap song either . yes and this be the 80 and and mid 80 to boot so the clothes and dance and dialogue be hilariously date . these kid must have somehow obtain pirate copy of radio free solid gold dancer or something and especially the skinny white kid do the robot . this movie be up there with 80 ` classic like ` flashdance where we find that while most of u love the movie a kid and we see it through adult eye twenty year later and realize what our parent probably think represent ` what a crap movie . the difference be and our nostalgia sometimes compel u to avoid avert our eye and like a train wreck . shelly .
