this troubles me

The hollywood rumor mill is professing that a musical remake of Footloose for the silver screen is in the works. With Zac Efron as the lead. Remake + Musical + Zac=Very troubling indeed. It's just not working for me. Go on, google it.

I'm so over the remakes of the original oldies but goodies. And really? I know my NINE YEAR OLD loves him, but I've kind of had enough of Zac.

JUMP BACK! Did you not know this already? My girls and I are SO EXCITED because we actually think he can pull it off. Watch him in HSM2 and HSM3. He has some serious teenage angst dance numbers that are rockin' hot. While I will confess he's no Kevin Bacon (who is?) I'm up for something fresh. I'll guarantee it will be 100% better than that other musical we witnessed together. (Pierce Brosnan-Meryl Streep) 'Nuf said.

It's just too iconic a film...and I don't love Zac. I've only seen parts of HSM1, but didn't love it. Jump Back..you kill me.

...as it does me. Not a fan of High School Musical. love the original and Kevin Bacon. He and his wife are so cute. Did you ever see the Will and Grace with him in it? Classic.

I'm sorry, but I must ditto my mother. Think of it like that other teen movie we dragged you to: if it's not good, at least it will be hilarious.
