aw and come on imdbers and why the low rating . where your sense of loyalty . i can not hear that kenny loggins title song and see those pair of dance foot during the opening credit without sit down to watch this whole movie . and even if it largely to make fun of it and i still love it for old time sake . kevin bacon be the tough city kid stick in some podunk midwest town where dancing have be outlaw . john lithgow be the preacher who serve a bacon arch nemesis while lori singer be the preacher daughter who have a hankering for the new dangerous kid . dianne wiest be the reasonable mom who act a referee between dad and daughter . the whole thing be silly than an episode of laugh in and but many of the actor ( particularly lithgow and wiest and bacon ) be good enough to actually sell the material . and come on and admit it and you know you like the music . grade represent b plus .
