I saw the movie "Footloose" last Friday night and found it to
be rather disappointing [unfortunately]. If you've seen the TV
ads for it, you've seen the movie. The plot is silly, of course,
but that I expected; it just could have been more fun.
I guess my main problem with the movie is that I expected too
much. There were some nice/funny parts to it [especially where
he is teaching his friend to dance] , but I kept expecting
more. It moved along and then suddenly, wham! it was over.
A lot of other people in the audience also seemed underwhelmed
as they left, making remarks like, "Is it over ? Was that it?".
There was definitely not enough dancing and the sound-track was
pretty boring for the most part.
I paid $4.00/person to see it and felt ripped off. I would
recommend the movie however, if you could see it for under
$2.00. The movie wasn't all that bad; it just could have been
a lot better. <sigh>
Of course, the views expressed above are strictly my own
and reflect my own personal biases. My musical tastes may
not be yours, however, so beware.... you may love the music.
I tend to like to dance to bands like: Bow Wow Wow, B-52's,
Talking Heads, Thompson Twins, Yaz, Devo, and Joe "King" Carrasco,
and I thought most of the music in the movie was kind of boring.
