The famous central hook of Footloose — that small town Bomont (Utah then, Georgia now) has outlawed dancing — sounds hokey, and, frankly, it is. The movie even comes up with a vaguely realistic version of a dance ban — five local teenagers died in a car accident after an alcohol-fueled dance party, leading to a legal crackdown on unauthorized teenage gatherings — before tacking on a formal anti-dancing law, too, perhaps out of deference to the original film. Despite the inherent silliness, though, this opposition is more or less the same encountered in any teenage dance movie, almost all of which feature at least a few adults adamantly opposed to the controversial idea of teenagers engaged in wanton acts of choreography and skill; Footloose just puts it on the books and makes it official.

The dance ban is challenged by Ren (Kenny Wormald), a Boston kid and former gymnast who moves to Bomont to live with his aunt and uncle after his mom passes away. Much like in the original, hs first friend is a wiseass meta-redneck, Willard (Miles Teller); soon enough, he has his eye on Ariel (Julianne Hough), the daughter of the very same Reverend Moore (Dennis Quaid) who lost his son in the car accident and spearheaded the anti-dancing movement. The kids bond and sneak a few dances away from watchful adult eyes.

Yet this is a pretty good remake of Footloose: good-hearted, sincere, enjoyable, not too stupid. If it’s not Brewer’s most indelible portrait of the South, maybe it’s not such a bad way to bring him back into the studio-filmmaking fold. He has an eye for detail and atmosphere not fully utilized by an eighties remake, even one that’s better than necessary; if he serves his remake time, maybe he’ll eventually get to do a real musical. If you want to watch this movie in your mobile device with your friends, you can convert it to your devices with video converter.

Since 2006 “High School Musical” has been released for the first time, the series became Disney’s representatives, especially for those boys and girls, which also make the other film companies very envied, Last fall, Paramount announced to remake a classic musical movie of 80’s, which is “Footloose” and invited Kenny Ortega (who directs “High School Musical”) to direct it and Zac Efron to play the protagonist, but Zac doesn’t want to be stereotyped, so he refused, fortunately, Chace Crawford, who is one of the famous star in drama in “Gossip Girl” agreed to join the film, then the preparatory work could be carried out smoothly, but no one see Chace Crawford in the film, so I guess something has happened, and Craig Brewer refused to directed the film twice.

I gotta say this film has been through a tough time. Although it has not very high investment, still sharing it with others on our iPad is a pretty good choice, and you can do that with mac video converter, actually, compared to other stereotyped dance movies, I think this one conveys some new and deep thoughts to us, not just superficial love and winning, losing or something.
