Cocky, rebellious and ambitious, Sean Ogden is determined to follow his passion to become a ground-breaking tap dancer, and not resign himself to a life toiling in the local steel mill like most of the men in his hometown. Despite Sean's astonishing talent, his no-holds-barred attitude has a cost. First, he incites the wrath of his widowed father -- who along with almost everyone in town, mocks his dreams. Then, he clashes over the affections of the beautiful Linda with his brother Mitchell.

1.5/4

The movie has been adapted by director Dein Perry from his own performance piece, which he might have been better advised to make into a concert film.

Exorbitantly MTV-ish with its slick pacing, utter lack of depth and frequent, mindless outbursts of euphoria for mere euphoria's sake.
