Bootmen

I wanted to so much to like this movie. I love movies about dancing, and I love to watch tap dancing, so I thought this was going to be a fantastic show. I was very, very disappointed. The writing was bad, the acting was bad, and the dancing not bad, per se, but not overly impressive either as there wasn’t really enough of it to go around. It is about a young man who works in a steel factory but who really wants to be a dancer. Cliche? Yes, I think so. I think it was based on a real person, but I have a feeling the story was changed to make it more Hollywood-y (even though it is an Australian show). Actually, speaking of Australia, this show reminded me of their cheesy soap operas (Neighbours, Home and Away) more than anything. Too bad. (*)
