{a time to dance.....}

 Here is my 'New Footloose' movie review:
two thumbdingers up!!!
why? 
because of these reasons:
~you leave energetic and smiling!
~makes you feel young again/makes you want to be young again
~lot's of laughs!
~perfect casting for Willard!
~they did great job of bringing the movie/music into this day and age.

I went into it counting on being disappointed. Actually, I wanted to be disappointed.
I mean really!!! How do you even come close to the original?
I remember the crews and the hubub in Lehi as it was being filmed in the 80's.
It was the biggest thing to come to our town state in a long time.
It truly signified life in small town Utah....I think we all could relate to the story and dreamed of being Ariel.
She was the first girl I ever saw in a wife beater.
I was in awe of her long, lean body and the way she could seductively move it.
It's just one of those memories that stick with me when my beer gut starts to muffin top over my belt.






Truthfully, my meat Ren of choice will always be Bacon.
(Why don't more people name their kids Ren?  I love that name)


Julianne Hough is such an amazing dancer, a decent actor, and has a beautiful body, so she is hard to fault.
Count on a few cheesy scenes....ie: bus chicken and the new Ren's frustration dance, but overall I would recommend seeing it!

Agree....especially about the Bacon love....Nobody can top his performance back in the 80's. I have a couple predictions for the next year:
1) We will see the name Ren again.
AND
2) More cute cowboy boots....especially red ones :)

Living in Lehi makes this such a cool remake!

Have you ever sees this episode of Will and Grace? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yw2ZM2KkjY0
It's my Favorite!!!

I'm pretty sure the cartoon Ren and Stimpy ruined the name Ren...
