You'd find more enjoyment in watching your dog throw up than this...

Rating: Null/10 (26 October 2011)

I'm not a musical fan, but I can admit when one is good (Sweeney Todd, Chicago). Burlesque, however, is terrible on all levels: acting, story, characters..name it and this movie sucks at it. I wasn't expecting a stellar performance from Christina Aguilera (I don't even care how to spell her last name) but whatever you want to call it, it was BADDDD. It was probably because her character was so annoying. Really, I hated the main character; just so stupid. Why the hell didn't she just start singing in the first place and make Cher shut the hell up?? Cher's character was a pain in the ass too; just the shut up and listen to someone for s**t's sake. What killed me the most was the WORST romance in a movie I have ever seen. Holy freakin' s*** was the love story so lame. The guy's engaged, then thinks it will be fine to share his apartment with a nice piece of @$$, watches her get changed and perform half naked then "falls in love with her." Just so terrible. Oh yeah, then his fiancé walks in on them in bed. HAHAHAA. Worst. Oh, about the music...some of it is good, not going to lie about that. Unfortunately though, it's not enough to save this trainwreck..or Stanley Tucci for that matter. I like Tucci, and it's a shame he's connected to this movie. For better entertainment, I would recommend chewing glass or whatever other horrible thing you can think of doing. Amen.
