Burlesque

What Jack Says...

Need I say more than "Cher and Christina." I don't think so. In no world could this have not worked out. The total and complete awesomeness of Cher paired with the beauty and talent of Christina Aguilera could blow a hole in the ozone layer. They were fantastic.

Was Christina's acting good? Absolutely not. Did we expect it to be? Absolutely not. That is one of the reasons this movie worked. It's really not all that creative and it was super predictable, but that is what I went in for. I paid for a ticket and sat and watched a movie that I knew exactly was going to happen. How many times can you say you've done that? Many I am sure. The songs were phenomenal and the dancing was out of this world. Loved the songs, loved the costumes, loved the makeup. Do you really need anything more from a musical. Not really. This was the best dance type musical I had seen since Chicago. Burlesque trampled over NINE, kicked it in the balls and rubbed it's face in the dirt. Awesome.

I give this a very enthusiastic 8
