So um, Footloose? Not the sweet innocent dance movie I remember – there’s fighting, smoking (of various substances), teen drinking, mention of FORNICATION, and cursing. Lots of cursing. So my advice for reminiscing about your youth with your children…perhaps preview the movie first.
And finally, two quotes from my children during the movie. The first I will title something along the lines of “You know they are homeschooled when…..”
– during the locker room scene, when all the boys are showering and talking (and showing tushies), I realized that Allison had no knowledge of school locker rooms when she said, “What the heck kind of room is that??? The NAKED MAN room???”
And the second quote of the day, we’ll call “ahh, to be seven years old” -
The music changes, the male and female lead get this look in their eyes..and they go in for it. At this point, the seven year old declares, “I hate when sometimes they kiss how it looks like they are EATING each other’s faces off!”
And bonus quote, from the five year old voice – “I hate when they get all schmooshy wooshy” – the seven year old expanded on that to explain that she means when they are about kiss and they get all close together first.
I’m gonna guess that Dirty Dancing will have to wait a few years…..
