In what will either be a smash hit or utter failure, Paramount Pictures is knee-deep in its remake of the 1984 classic, “Footloose.” It seems the story is basically the same this time around, with Ren MacCormack (played by newcomer Kenny Wormald) being transplanted from Boston to the small southern town of Bomont where he experiences a heavy dose of culture shock. A few years prior, the community was rocked by a tragic accident that killed five teenagers after a night out and Bomont’s local councilmen and the beloved Reverend Shaw Moore (Dennis Quaid) responded by implementing ordinances that prohibit loud music and dancing. Not one to bow to the status quo, Ren challenges the ban, revitalizing the town and falling in love with the minister’s troubled daughter Ariel (Julianne Hough) in the process.
