Footloose (2011) is rated PG-13 by the MPAA for some teen drug and alcohol use, sexual content, violence and language. Violence: Characters engage in dangerous stunts including racing buses, standing on the train tracks and driving after drinking. A character is hit in the head with a beer bottle.

As much of the language is not child-friendly, we recommend this movie for kids aged 12 and over. Bad Language: 4/5 (frequent moderate cursing and blasphemy, in addition the terms ‘dyke’, ‘spastic’ and ‘retard’ are used as insults.
