If you’ve lived in the 80’s, you know the movie, you know
the music, you know the dances, and you know the ending. Even with all of this
is mind, the movie is still fun, exciting, and ageless. I watched people
dancing in their seats, heard them laughing out loud, cheering, and enjoying
the movie. It’s a keeper!
Ren McCormack (Kenny Wormald) is the new kid in town and he’s
in for a rude awakening. The town has banned dancing, loud music, and has
placed a stifling curfew on its teenagers because of a tragic accident that
claimed five seniors three years ago. Ariel Moore (Julianne Hough) is the
preacher’s daughter, who after the death of her brother consumes Reverend Shaw
Moore (Dennis Quaid), becomes the wild child.
Ren challenges the town to rethink its laws and its trust in
their youth.
It was great. The old songs are there with some modern flair.
This version followed the original very, very close. Go watch it and have fun picking out all the
similarities and the new scenes. The only thing that would have made it better
would have been a cameo by Kevin Bacon himself.
Also watch for Maggie Elizabeth Jones and Mary-Charles Jones
who play Renn’s little cousins. They are two of the cutes little girls in
movies today.
