John Lithgow thinks dancing makes teenagers bad and bans rock ’n’ roll, but things change when Chicago kid Kevin Bacon arrives on the scene... This 1980s teen musical really comes to life with its foot-tapping numbers and the plot is a silo of corny fun. Lori Singer plays Lithgow’s wayward daughter and Christophe­r Penn is likeable as the new buddy who Bacon teaches to dance – to the hit song Let’s Hear It For The Boy – in the movie’s best sequence. Dir: Herbert Ross 1984, 12, 130min
