Footlose 2012

Compared to the 1984 Footlose this was a pretty good remake. The main difference is that in the 1984 version Ren's mother is alive. in the 2011 Ren's mother has died of cancer and Ren had to go through it. I think that makes a little more sense and it gives a reason behind why Ren is so prone to be a rebel.

Ren turns the town upside down when he comes into town and doesn't understand the rules of no loud music and no dancing. Ren questions authority and goes before the town and tries and get the town to allow the kids to put on a prom. Ren uses scripture that Ariel (the pastor's daughter) gives him. Ren and Ariel have a thing for each other.

I enjoyed this movie. If you enjoy dance movies, then you will enjoy this movie. It's a great movie. I am unsure if I enjoyed the 1984 one or this one. Though I think that the 2012 one was a little better.
