I just can't go to this movie. The same movie younger actors, and same songs different people singing them...sounds pretty stupid. I loved the original with the original cast and soundtrack. It was a good movie, not one that needed to be remade, though.
She will see it on cable or DVD. :)
It's kind of selfish to only take your kids to movies you want to see. The new footloose is actually a pretty good movie.

While I don't agree with only taking kids to see movies that you (the adult) want to see, I also don't see why movies have to be remade to "appeal to a new generation". The original Footloose isn't that outdated. It's almost exactly the same movie. But yet there seems to be this attitude that if a movie is over 10 years old, it needs to be remade or kids today won't watch it.
I grew up watching movies on TV that were made 10-20 years before I was born. I watched syndicated reruns of TV shows that were already a decade old by the time I started watching them.
Yet today, suggesting that a kid watch a movie that was made back in the 1980s is like suggesting that they go eat raw roadkill out of a filthy toilet. Actually, they'd probably be more willing to do that than to watch a movie from 1984.
I hated the movie, but I hate most things.
Anyway, you should bring her if SHE wants to see it, your daughter should take priority...not you...
this is ridiculous. just because a person had a child it doesn't mean that she has to force herself to do all the things she doesn't like
we live in a *beep* up society where children are spoiled and annoying trash just because they were made believe that they are entitled to everything
I don't like changing my child's diapers, she wants it done, but I don't like doing it, guess I won't.
shareah, i see. thats why the kids are annoying trash that believe that they are entitled to everything. because people consider necessities like diaper change and food to be on the same level as making your whole life revolve around those damn little *beep* and watch every movie they want

it's a comedy bit, but it has more truth than all you crazy child worshippers will ever be abhle to understand
There's a difference between doing something nice for your child and spoiling them. If your kid wants to see a movie and it is feasible for you to take him/her, I see no problem in taking him/her. I'm not saying buy your kid a pony and treat them to everything their heart desires. Being a parent is about sacrifice, sometimes that means seeing a movie you don't want to. You clearly don't have children because if you did, you would know that having kids MEANS your whole life revolves around them.
shareA baby NEEDS their diaper changed. A kid doesn't NEED to see a stupid movie.
sharewow...really???
I take my daughter to plenty of movies, my son too. The last movie I saw was Dolphin Tale... In the last 7 years I have seen way more children's movies than adult movies.
I just don't want to pay to see a movie I have seen done perfectly well the first time.
That's kind of cruel. Suck it up and let your kid watch the movie. It's not that inappropriate so there's nothing to worry about. My parents saw tons of crappy movies they didn't want to see to make me happy, you should do the same for your daughter.
shareCruel??? To not take my daughter to a movie??? Believe me she has seen more movies than I have lately. She is not suffering. We watch movies together all the time. And if she had wanted to see it THAT badly I would have taken her. She wants to see every movie that comes out, with one of her favorite teen or tween stars.
Please don't label people cruel when you don't have a clue as to who the person is.
Did I label you cruel? No, what I said was "that's kind of cruel" I didn't say that you were cruel or a bad person but you are definitely selfish for not letting your daughter see a movie just because you don't want to. Send her to the movie with some friends or get someone else to take her if you don't want to see it so bad. But lets be honest, this is the EXACT response you were hoping for. Why else would you go on a website and tell the world that you won't take your daughter to the movies because you think the movie looks stupid? If you need attention that badly I guess...
shareyou're doing your daughter a disservice by letting her watch this.. rent the original instead.. she'll thank you for it later

so instead of finding something you 2 could BOND over 2 generations liking the same movie with different actors ou rather deny her that?
my older cousin liked 60's alvin
I liked 90's alvin
and my cousins kids likes 10's alvin
we al watched the 3rd movie in the cinema and ENJOYED it.
do it for the kid
when I was a kid my mother HATED taking me to see the Pokemon movies, but she gritted her teeth and took me because it was a chance o spend time with me, now she's dead I am really appreciative of those memories.
well you can shut up now and buy it on DVD for her. Or go to Redbox.
