Review of Burlesque (2010) by Simpkj1 — 28 Nov 2010
Thppppppp, generally speaking, with a scant few !!!!! all during truly electric dance numbers, which in and of themselves were very electric and !!!!! worthy. But the story is trite. The talents of Cher -- who so wowed us in Moonstruck -- and of Stanley Tucci -- who so wowed us in about everything he's ever done -- are painfully benched.
It's just gum in your hair torture finally to watch unfold the lead in for Cher's 2nd and final number - like someone threw a discarded decorative pillow haphazardly back on random couch to get it up off the floor.
Your attention to her number is rudely interrupted by the guy in your head shouting, "O. COME. ON!!" There's more I suppose, but you get the point being made. To go see this, first set your expectations.
You are going for the sole purpose of seeing a dance concert. Grab your popcorn, your hearty sense of good humor for bad schtick and your mantinee ticket ( you smart cookie, you ) and go enjoy.
