Footloose (2011) Review | Is This Remake Actually Good?

In this review we take a look at Footloose (2011) — the remake of the classic 80s movie starring Kenny Wormald, Julianne Hough, Dennis Quaid, and an early Miles Teller.

Right up front… if you grew up with the Kevin Bacon version, you’re probably going into this one a little skeptical already. We were too.

We break down what the movie is, how it compares to the original, and whether the remake actually holds up. We also talk about the music, the performances, and some of the moments that feel fun… and some that feel just a bit cheesy.

But the biggest question for families is the clean factor.

We cover:

Language
Teen romance and party themes
Intensity and fights
Overall Family Watch Factor

So you can decide if this is a Watch or Pass for your teens or family movie night.

As always, we finish with our Clean Cut Critic Score Sheet, giving you a clear, practical breakdown you can trust.

Our goal is simple:
Give you clean, honest movie reviews that help families know what they’re getting into before pressing play.
