Footloose (2011)
Directed by Craig Brewer
Ren MacCormack is transplanted from Boston to the small southern town of Bomont where loud music and dancing are prohibited. Not one to bow to the status quo, Ren challenges the ban, revitalizing the town and falling in love with the minister’s troubled daughter Ariel in the process.

What critics compared Footloose to
On a Memphicentric note, "The Way, Way Back" may be the first movie to actually include a reference to director Craig Brewer's remake of " Footloose ."
Other traps: Ren is from Boston, which always inspires ludicrous Chowderhead accents (see: Tom Hanks in “Catch Me If You Can”) -- yet the movie matches geography with character.
It's only a week before Jason's wedding to his boss's daughter Meredith (Julianne Hough, "Footloose," "Rock of Ages"), but he relents for some overdue bonding time.
