Full Plot Details

Born charmer Sean Okden gave up tap-dancing when he started working in the steel mill, but as that's going down the hill he grabs his chance being the only candidate in his coastal Australian home town Newcastle selected for a Sidney show. Being sacked soon just for a row with the arrogant lead dancer, he returns to find his girlfriend in bed with his brother Mitchell, and decides to start his own tap-dance group wearing hardhats, which he soon gives an original edge when the steel mill inspires him to weld metal on their shoes and dance on industrial steel, so it the metallic acoustics fit well with a local rock group. Financing their local debut is so expensive, even when the mill allows them free us of its premises -opening some acrobatic perspectives- while even his father won't allow him to touch his mother's inheritance for the project, that the 'Bootmen' need to steal the cheerleaders' podium in a televised sports match to get media attention. Sean generously helps his brother when attacked, at the price of their motorbikes, only to learn his assailant Huey and Mitch rival as car (part) thieves, but still allows him into the group - only to see his fatal fall during an attack by Huey's goons. Even when the mill announces phasing out Sean continues, now as a benefit for the sacked workers' retraining.

Movie Reviews

Film Journal International - 9/10 by David NohExorbitantly MTV-ish with its slick pacing, utter lack of depth and frequent, mindless outbursts of euphoria for mere euphoria's sake.
Spirituality and Practice - 8/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatA raucous and rowdy Australian film that will send you from the theatre deliciously happy with a genuine smile on your face.
Film.com - 7/10 by Gemma FilesSilly in some parts, but sheer fun in most, Bootmen will get you wiggling in your seat with a big grin pasted on your face.
Los Angeles Times - 7/10 by Kevin ThomasBootmen, which proves to be a real heart-tugger, is in fact accomplished in all its aspects.
Village Voice - 6/10 by Edward CrouseThe best sequences -- auditions in a strip bar and a public bathroom -- still can't compete with that industrial musical called "Pola X."
TV Guide Magazine - 5/10 by Maitland McDonaghClichés negate bona fides; hence, the movie feels like a corny Mickey Rooney/Judy Garland vehicle with cussing. That said, the tapping is fabulous.
L.A. Weekly - 5/10 by Chuck WilsonOne expects razzle-dazzle dance sequences to lift this movie above its clichés, but they are few and far between, which is not only disappointing, it's downright baffling.
Chicago Tribune - 5/10 by John PetrakisWhat sets Bootmen apart from the vast competition is its exuberant, sexy tap-dancing, but that's mostly relegated to the grand finale.
Austin Chronicle - 5/10 by Russell SmithIt delivers commendable entertainment value.
Chicago Sun-Times - 4/10 by Roger EbertBootmen is the story of a young dancer and his friends who revisit the cliches of countless other dance movies in order to bring forth a dance performance of clanging unloveliness.
