Expected more

Rating: 5/10 (17 January 2011)

I saw this film last night. The story line was effectively crap, seen it done a thousand times over and over, small town girl makes it big in large city *rolls eyes*. Small town girl is tempted by Daddy Big Bucks. Small town girl saves the day.
Dance numbers and soundtrack were great.
Cher's performance was great. Christina's performance was around a 3/10. Her strength and talent lay only in dance and song - not acting. She got marginally better as the movie progressed, but altogether, quite irritating.
Stanley Tucci is always a great watch. Brilliant actor, with good comedic relief. He is unstoppable all supporting roles, Burlesque being no exception.
