Enjoyable - a real treat

Rating: 9/10 (20 January 2011)

Aguilera is multi talented - she can belt it out in different styles and act as well. The dance and song numbers are over the top and well choreographed. The camera angles were good - didn't jump around much like some of the recent musicals like Chicago.
The supporting cast is top notch. Cher is a bit facially frozen but she is amusing to watch. Kristin Bell is a surprise here - who knew she had the vamp in her. Tucci and Gallagher are good. Eric Dane is just sleazy enough. Cam Gigandet is a cool boyfriend.
Loved the old fashioned feel good storyline and neat plot. The romance is lighthearted and predictable in a good way. No ugly characters and unnecessary angst. The dialog is quite fun and witty throughout. It was like watching a good Broadway musical but with a more attractive cast.
One of the more enjoyable musical movies of the past few years.
