6/10
White Men Can't Jump Or Dance!

Modern audiences may look back on this film as simplistic and childlike and so they should...it is. In comparison, the remake is completely brainless so I don't know.

Its pretty paint by numbers with the kids rebelling against the moral authority to gain control over their lives, this time through dance.

The characters are as deep as a sheet of paper but it doesn't really matter.

The music is the star of this film. The songs are fun, catchy and are 100 percent responsible for all the movie's good bits.

Bacon plays the role of rebel rouser well, using his charm to win over the movie characters and the audience alike :)
