Summary: Dein Perry's Film Version of "Tapdogs" Ignites Sparks"
Review: Dein Perry's Aussie stage sensation "Tap Dogs" is the basis for this frenzied, fast-paced dance musical about a young steel worker who creates an industrial stength tap show to raise money for a very worthy cause. Yes, the plot is old hat. So are the characters, the subplots and the ending. But this isn't David Mament. And that's o.k. It's "Full Monty," "Summer Stock," "Andy Hardy" and "Billy Elliott" revisited. You also get handsome faces, pretty girls, orange sunsets, crashing waves, a pumped-up score and a great performance by Adam Garcia. If case you've forgetten, Garcia created the role of Tony Manero in the London stage production of "Saturday Night Fever." Here, he dances on steel beams, pipes and metal floors while Perry turns up the heat using some of his famous "TapDogs" routines. If you want escapism, you'll find it here. You'll also succomb to Garcia's charms in much the same nanner as those lucky enough to catch him live in London's West End.

Summary: Adam Garcia -- What More Can I Say!
Review: Five days ago I had never even heard of Adam Garcia and now I am looking everywhere for his work. I saw him in Coyote Ugly and decided I wanted to see more of what he's done. I ordered this movie and it arrived three days later! I just watched it. While the story line was nothing new or novel, it was a solid plot with good acting. But, the dancing -- absolutely incredible. What a fantastic dancer Adam Garcia is! I wish I had been able to see him in Saturday Night Fever -- I bought the CD this week and love it and highly recommend that. I think this young man has success written all over him. Also highly recommend Riding in Cars With Boys. Excellent movie.

Summary: Real men DO dance!
Review: I was standing in line at the video store waiting to check out, when I glanced to the new release wall and this one jumped out at me. I was already a fan of Adam Garcia from "Coyote Ugly", so I read the back, thought it sounded interesting, and decided to rent it. I was so pleased! It's a great movie, full of romance, drama, and lots of great tap dancing. Think "The Full Monty" meets "Stomp" and you have "Bootmen." I highly recommend this movie - it's worth it!(...)

Review: Recently became a fan of Adam Garcia after seeing him in Riding in Cars with Boys and Coyote Ugly. So I looked this video up. This is really the best. He's the lead obviously and the viewers get a chance to see him do his thing and dance like crazy. My sons watched it and now they are going to take tap this fall. Something I wanted to do. I thought it was great. The critics probably hated it. They hate his newest release the 1st 20 million is always the easiest, but they shouldn't forget that the writing plays a significant part in the success of the movie. For his part Adam is a total success.

Summary: What a surprise! This is a great movie!
Review: When I first watched this movie, I must confess that I only was interested because Adam Garcia (total hunk) was starring in it. But to my surprise, this movie has a great story to it. I found myself not watching it because of Garcia, but because I was really interested in the story line. The dancing in this movie is so amazing - it must have taken these guys months to learn those moves! It really is a great movie so don't listen to all those critics who "hated it" - go out and rent this movie. Trust me - you'll want it as part of your movie collection!

Summary: Good thing I didn't listen to the critics! It's GREAT!
Review: While I was waiting for this movie to arrive, I searched out comments from the critics. Sadly, I didn't find a lot of glowing reviews. Most were downright tepid. But I don't know why ... I found it an excellent movie that I've already watched again several times. I expected to like it simply because hot Aussie hunk Adam Garcia is in it. That was great to be sure. But the movie itself was really good in my opinion. Getting to see Adam dance is just the icing on the cake. A good story, a hot guy, and some great dancing. This ain't your grandmother's tap ... Bootmen rocks!
