ENJOY a great headline järjestyksessä''Footloose''kun it takes, not only for the assembly of interesting-looking dancers legs and hot musical accompaniment, but also the promise of Jumpy, colorful, exciting films, which, unfortunately, does not follow. Instead,''Footloose''on''Flashdance''asettaa country farm where tractors offer an elegant blue-collar and flash mostly missing. Single burning idea of the film can be summarized as follows: Do not Knock the Rock.
''Footloose,''which opens today at Loews State and other theaters, is located in a small town in the west of the religious balance of payments is strictly prohibited. In this climate of closure is Ren (Kevin Bacon), a young city with a portable cassette player and a punk haircut. Ren falls for a pretty girl and leads a crusade to force the elders of the city to allow a ball to be held, and that's the whole movie with her. That, and an attractive cast almost in spite of that material and a selection of hits-to-be driving the band greatly.
As directed by Herbert Ross and written by Dean Pitchford, the film has a Hollywood patina, too naive simplicity that no one and a tendency to overexplain. We are told, for example, that people do not trust Ren because he is an outsider and that Ariel (Lori Singer) love for this very reason.

On a slightly less literal, we are led to realize that Ariel is a daredevil when it straddles both a car and a truck as a second truck approaches in the other direction. Although it would have been enough to make the point, Ariel later in the same spirit of adventure, dashes in front of an oncoming train.
Fortunately, Kevin Bacon is a very nice player, especially when he finally frees himself from the sluggishness is one of the allocation of Ren. Mr. Bacon tolerate many things here, including en''Flashdance''inspired solo dance number (should we really dancing around a lot of farm equipment in what he thought was a private moment? ) and a scene where the children the reader broke spontaneously into musical motion. It is even credible in a scene where he dances energetically after supposedly a club outside the city, his white T-shirt is miraculously sweat free.
