'Footloose' remake compares to 1984 classic

When word let out that a " "http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087277/" target= "_blank">Footloose" remake was in progress, I was highly skeptical. Since its original 1984 release, "Footloose" has become a classic teen dance film, defining the genre and setting an example for subsequent films, such as "Save the Last Dance" and "Step Up." The idea of modernizing a cornerstone of '80s filmdom made me cringe. Yet, curiosity compelled me to investigate what could have been a defaming of one of my favorite teen movies.
