Outstanding!!

"Bootmen" is one of those films which will not have mass appeal but which will appeal massively to those with whom it resonates: A fact which accounts for a meager 1.5 stars from Ebert with a critical majority voting "awesome" according to efilmcritic.com. A sort of "Footloose" meets "Stomp Out Loud" down under, "Bootmen" tells of a young Australian steel worker who puts together a steel-on-steel tap show benefit against all odds. Thumbing its nose at the typical Hollywood excesses (sensationalism and melodrama),"Bootmen" sticks earnestly to it's purpose mixing love, sex, violence, death, angst, and woe with music and tap dancing in a rough sort of Aussie style while waxing to its climactic "feel good" conclusion. A great watch for anyone into rhythm or tap in film, Aussie flicks, or just plain creative movies.

The tap dance kid is footloose Down Under

Most of the negative comments about this film seem to come from its birth place, Australia. Frankly, "Bootmen" is not a horrible movie by any stretch of the imagination. The film shows some originality in the way the director Dein Perry sets the film in the steel works factory that is about to close and having Sean and his mates practice in another abandoned place that seems to be saying a lot about how industries do away with people that have given their best to make them better.

Adam Garcia, playing Sean, is one of the best things in the film. The other asset is Sam Worthington, who plays Mitch, the brother that seems to attract trouble wherever he goes. Also, Sophie Lee, as the brothers' love interest makes an effective contribution to the movie.

The dancing numbers reminded us of Stomp, the musical that has been playing here for a long time now, in that unusual ways of tap dancing are practiced on the most unconventional ways, which makes "Bootmen" more likable.

The best way to watch the film is to sit back, relax, and let it unfold, as it will win the viewer over with the inspired tap dancing.

One to watch, if you love tap dancing!!

This film was done to promote the Tap Dogs show and dance group, so don't expect complicated or sophisticated plot, cunning twists or even amazing acting.

You can pretty much guess what happens, just from watching the trailer. There is nothing, plotwise, that hasn't been done before and the characters are all tried and tested stereotypes. Cinematography is solid and production quality is safe. There is a fair degree of bad language, which seems a touch out of place given that this film will appeal to a lot of young dance students.

But none of this detracts from the basic underlying premise of the film... Basically, sit back, shut up and enjoy the fabulous tap dancing - That's what it's about and in that respect, it does NOT disappoint!!
