People, please do not listen to this nerd!! The new Footloose is wonderful! I am a 61 yr old grandmother who loved the original Footloose, but next to the new one it is slow and lame. This one is exciting and the actors are much better than the original! They do their own dancing they are better looking than Kevin and Lori. Go see it for yourself and make up your own mind.

Even my 11-year old daughter thought this was a bad idea (and like me, she wasn’t all that crazy about the original). I’m with Christine, let’s have an ORIGINAL hero (or an idea) from Hollywood.

WAIT! They're remaking Dirty Dancing as well? *headdesk* Hollywood seems to have become Remake Hell. I'm holding out for an ORIGINAL Hollywood hero.

Eh – wasn’t wild about it the first go round. I’ll probably wait until it’s on DVD…for the dance parts. Not sure what it is, but I totally love the dance scenes from crappy dance movies. Makes me wish I could move like that. Step Up, Step Up 2, Center Stage? Yep, that’s me fast forwarding through the boring dialogue and skipping to the dancing.

Did you hear about the Dirty Dancing remake? And reimagining Blues Brothers as a TV series? What about The Munsters reboot? It's out of control. Benoit---I think a reload of the original is a good idea and will save you ten (or more) bucks.

Creativity seems to be out of trend in Hollywood and remaking the eighties, the new cash cow. Can you believe there’s a remake of Point Break in the making? Point…fucking…Break? I mean, how good can it get without Patrick Swayze’s hair and the dated ridicule?

I loved the original Footloose because I am one of the rare Kevin Bacon enthusiasts. Seeing him win the tractor race with his shoelace caught up was one of the high points of corny eighties cinema for me, along with John Matrix’s powering out a phone booth off its socket. I am angered, yet intrigued. Maybe this calls for a download.

This is what I was afraid of when I heard they were going to remake it. I don’t think I’ll ever understand why Hollywood spends so much money on remakes. Maybe sometimes it works but rarely is it better than a completely new story.
