Viewing Notes

Continuit my filling in of cinematic holes, FOOTLOOSE is way more velveeta than I expected, falling more into the traditional 80s direction that I grew up with. I appreciate the story in its most base sense but it’s often so laughable I can’t take it seriously. It also has one of the most unintentionally hilarious “training” montages I’ve seen since NO RETREAT, NO SURRENDER.
