Flick Picks: Footloose
It’s attack of the ‘80s this weekend at the box office. First up, a remake of the 1984 dance hit that made Kevin Bacon into the Zac Efron of his generation. Incidentally, Efron was tapped to be in this remake, but he decided his dancing days were over. No need to fret, jazz hands. Newcomer Kenny Wormald fills his shoes along with Dancing With the Stars cutie Julianne Hough. Does she actually make the transition from sequined Barbie to leading lady? The answer might surprise you.
