I fist saw this film when I was flicking through the channels at about 11pm one Saturday evening about a year and a half ago.

The first thing that made me stay on the channel was seeing that Sarah Jessica Parker was in it. Being a Sex And The City fan, I decided to watch. As I continued to watch, I saw the Film's all star cast. With actors such as John Lythgoe and Chris Penn -who wouldn't settle down to watch this film?

Oh....I forgot to mention, Kevin Bacon also takes the lead.

A brilliant performance from Bacon, in this, my favourite of all his many films.

The story is thus:

New boy Renn (Bacon)moves to a small town from a Big City. When he gets there, he finds that the whole town is lead by the church and priest Lythgoe.

Despite it being the 80s, Dancing is banned in the town, and therefore the High School kids are not allowed to have a school dance.

All of this has been accepted, until Renn shows up. With an attitude that means he's not afraid to break the rules and a love of Dancing, Ren decides to fight the authorities to allow the High School kids to have their school dance.

The main problem for Lythgoe is that his daughter is one of the High School Kids who want the dance and is smitten for Renn.

Through the Courtcase and all the troubles, we find a town secret as to why Dancing is so frowned upon.

I won't tell you anymore of the plot, or else I'll ruin it for you. But this is a lovely Romantic, Dramatic Comedy that will have you enthralled to the very end.

Because the film recently had its 15th anniversary, there are special editions on DVD and also a fantastic Soundtrack with the Famous song 'Footloose' on it.

If you like films such as Dirty Dancing and Strictly Ballroom, then you will love this 80s film.

If you be a bit more specific in the details you will definitly get a higher rating, but it's a good op
