prior to see this movie and all i have hear suggest that i be good off not watch it unless it be to ridicule . i look at my uncle dance round his living room to some of it music and ask myself if anybody expect me to take that seriously . it get a place in movie history even for the title song alone and though and so i decide i couldn not live with myself unless i give it a chance . it be definitely worth it . the style be reminiscent of a whole host of other 80 teen flick and but only a handful be well . most of the cast do great thing with their role . kevin bacon actually manage to make the clichéd concept seem kinda cool and here showcasing an easy charm that be to become the hallmark of much of his late work . crucially and the music be actually pretty good too . ( even if i be tear between want to cringe and dance when i hear the theme . ) on reflection it no cheesy than something like all the right move ( which have a great cast do their best but suffers from a plod story ) in fact and it mile well . at least the music in footloose give the maker a viable way to pep thing up whenever the story begin to flag . this film be much and much good than i have be lead to believe and so give it a chance if you ain not see it yet but think you know the score . chance be and you do not .
