vivienne_ophelia shared a tip "It's the perfect gals night movie! I rewatched it with my friends and it was great."
truly_youly shared a tip "Uncultured swine watch this ******* movie now. Yes Kevin Bacon is ugly, and his love interest is a bitch, but John Lithgow is actually an understandable, loveable antagonist. Plus you’ll have the Footloose stuck in you head for weeks."
jade_andrea_borges shared a tip "I can watch this any day. Which do you like better the original or the new school version?"
delaney_vanhoof shared a tip "This movie never gets old! I love it"
cristen_hatton shared a tip "It’s really good in my opinion! If you’re into movies about high school as well as musical/watching dance numbers, you’ll probably like it😊 The best thing I could compare it to is Grease. So if you like Grease, I’m sure you’ll like this!"
beckii.xd shared a tip "I’ve seen this one, the one made in 2011, and a high school play of this movie. All were amazing, but nothing touches the original (1984) version!"
tamara_sewell shared a tip "Great sound track. Believeable plot twist. Cult classic"
sabrina_xavier shared a tip "Labrynth"
hannah_minchew shared a tip "Perfect for a sleepover with teens or young adults!"
