My wife and I don’t fight, and we disagree on very few things.
One of the sources of our greatest disagreements centers on a moment in the movie Footloose.
My contention is that the ending of the movie, with its choreographed dance number and strategically timed glitter bomb (which looks ridiculous), is also ridiculous. It’s a scene written for a bad musical and inserted into a non-musical.
Elysha, on the other hand, loves the film’s ending. She loves the whole movie, in fact.
I don’t think the movie holds up, but that’s beside the point.
I also didn’t see the film when it was released, which can often kill a movie for me,
Regardless, it’s not the true source of our disagreement. It’s the ending that is the issue.
And it’s terrible. Right?
