Footloose is a guilty-pleasure time capsule with charm and energy, but the middling scores tell the real story—it's more fun in memory than in execution. If you're craving '80s nostalgia and don't mind a corny plot, go for it; otherwise, skip it for something that's actually great.

Plot

When teenager Ren and his family move from big-city Chicago to a small town in the West, he's in for a real case of culture shock after discovering he's living in a place where music and dancing are illegal.
