I am a non-ironic fan of the movie Footloose. I am also steeped in the Los Angeles sketch/improv comedy scene. So the epically silly concept behind Our Footloose Remake hits me in a sweet spot. Conceived by comics David Seger and Tim Marklevitz, the sketch-based experiment finds 54 directors recreating 58 scenes from the Kevin Bacon dance-classic (basically the whole movie), with different actors in each segment — featuring a good number of friends of mine from the Upright Citizens Brigade theater, plus a few semi-famous comedians. The finished product is feature length. Not all of it is uniformly funny, but if you enjoy Footlloose there is some fun to be had.
