G'Day Mate! Welcome to the Land Down Under! That's the greeting that'll never go out of style. Seeing "Bootmen" for the very first time was an interesting experience for me. I thought only jolly USA enjoyed tap-dancing from all the legends. "Bootmen" goes to extremes where other tap-dancing movies seem to make their stops. Two brothers Sean(Adam Garcia) and Mitchell(Sam Worthington) did tap in their youth. While Sean kept it in, the other brother does some shady work that catches up with him. Sean meets Sara(Susie Porter) and goes to an opera house for a big tap-dancing show there in another part of Austrailia. Somehow, all was a wash-up when the star of the show big ego gets Sean riled up. So it's back home, make up a tapping show of his own which looks like an act from the group, Stomp. When Mitch dies, Sean gives it his all to perform in his memory, and his disapproving father, finally opens his eyes to his son's dream. Goes to show when you live up to the dream, don't quit because of one's disapproval. This movie is moving, I mean really moving, it's worth dancing to, not too obvious, and the course of the movie is riveting. I wouldn't mind watching over and over, to get a better feel of it. Rating 4 out of 5 stars.
