Review of Burlesque (2010) by Bikerjames — 23 Dec 2010
I thought this movie was passable, although certainly predictable from the first frame. Christina Aquilera was better than I thought she would be, and Cher - what can you say about Cher? She's always great and seemingly ageless.
The musical numbers are what carries the film and that's where Cher and Christina shine. Christina has her big number (a la Jennifer Hudson in Dreamgirls) towards the end, but unlike the never-ending cringe-inducing song that Jennifer sang Christina's is great.
It helps that Christina is a great singer. The biggest problem for me was that every song was lip-synched, but it's not distracting enough to ruin the movie.
