DVD Synopsis

In this lively adolescent-oriented musical, a city kid attempts to adapt to life in an ultra-conservative backwater Midwestern town. Once there, he ends up leading the repressed teenagers into a rebellion against the town fathers, who have outlawed rock & roll and dancing. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

Editorial Review of DVD

Kevin Bacon stars in the toe tapping 1980s hit Footloose. Presented in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen, this transfer is sub-par with an excessive amount of grain and dirt penetrating the image. While there are some sharp colors and black levels to be found, overall the image of Footloose is far below the work usually put into Parmaount's transfers. The soundtrack is presented in a newly remixed Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround sound track in English that utilizes both the front and rear speakers whenever the music score of pop soundtrack kicks in. Aside of throwing the Kenny Loggins title track through all of the speakers, this mix is generally front heavy with all aspects of the mix sounding clear and free of any hiss or distortion. Also included on this disc is a Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround mix in English, a Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo mix in French, and English and Spanish subtitles. Alas, as is the case with most recent Paramount DVD titles, this DVD is void of any and all extra features, making it a disappointing bare bones release. ~ Patrick Naugle, All Movie Guide
