They say do not judge a book by its cover, but in this case can not be done to better assess the subject of the film. Dancing has been weak in theaters in recent years become synonymous with a smile OCT-parties, such as High School Musical, or even * shudder * Glee 3D.
Fortunately, Footloose, the remake of the 1984 classic, manages to avoid the pitfalls of this slice to implement an effective and fun boogieing.
The story focuses on Ren McCormack (newcomer Kenny Wormald), a teenager from Boston who was thrown into a quiet little town where prohibited the existence of a public dance and rock music.
The film takes a walk almost immediately in the opening with a stunning and unexpected blow juxtaposition, it is immediately clear that the film is not just dancing.
Wormald easily convinced that a bit arrogant but charismatic city boy, and gives the audience someone to root for. The rest of the cast is a mixed bag. Love interest, Ariel Moore (Julianne Hough) manages to tiptoe around sentimentality Bear Trap (right), with only one parasite line, which is a little on the side of cheddar. Generic thug / boyfriend Chuck Cranston (Patrick John Flueger) gives his character with all the subtlety of a punch in the face - which, incidentally, stands literally as you might expect - but the nails effectively clear the stereotype anyway.
