Footloose!

Normally, I HATE remakes! Normally, they just don't get them right. I believe my hatred for remakes started after I saw The Parent Trap with Lindsey Lohan. The original was and still is my very favorite movie of all time. The remake just didn't do it justice! So, when I saw they were remaking Footloose, I was worried that they wouldn't get it right. I remember when the original came out. I was 11 years old and in the 5th grade. I remember seeing it at the theater and thinking it was probably the coolest movie ever! I remember when it came out on video. My mom rented the movie, plus actually had to rent a VCR so I could watch it again. I had the soundtrack on tape. I wore that tape out! Dancing and singing! Let's Hear For The Boy, Footloose, Almost Paradise, Dancing in the Sheets, Holding Out For a Hero-It was awesome! So, while I was reluctant to see the remake, I had to see it. Plus, the previews made it look pretty good. I loved it! It was very true to the original, down to the storyline, the characters and the music. It was all very nostalgic for me. And it was so very hard to keep myself in my seat and refrain from breaking into a total white girl dance and singing at the top of my lungs! There were a few changes. A lot of the music was remade. But, I think it did the original Footloose justice. It brought me right back to the 5th grade! And I have been singing Let's Hear It For The Boy all day!
