Ittttttt's Burlesque - contains *spoilers *

Rating: 6/10 (1 May 2011)

The story is of Ali real name Alice who works in store to support herself in life as her mother passed away and it looks like she is now on her own fending for herself. Its a musical all singing and dancing reminds me of the pussycat dolls lounge but how can I be surprised the founder of the dolls and the director of this film are siblings so what goes in must come out he must have been bombarded with his sister love for burlesque and no wonder he made a film about it. Ali is played by Christina Aguilera and as a fan of x-Tina I could see Christina in her but a softer side but someone who would be rude if someone was rude to her and be easily offended by someone miss-treating her I wanted to get away from miss Aguilera but I only managed some what its no her fault she can sing the way she does but as soon as she sang the whole Christina thing was slapped in my face,again not her fault. The reason it isn't her fault is simply because the film is set around burlesque which is simply a set for various mini dramas to un-fold but Christina is the heart of everyones anger,excitement hope and dreams for the future prospects of the club . She replaces Kristen bells spot for a night and ends up being the *star* of the show because of her amazing voice the clubs morals change they come to see us dance not sing. Now they've come to see her sing and dancing goes with singing I guess,everyones excited but obviously being a film what's going to happen to cause a problem because Aguilera's and Bell's characters is borderline high school bitchy so the hate doesn't seen enough to hold a dramatic story to carry it through.So which is fine but the problem is *******spoiler Alert****** if you want know the story but not the end look away now! Anyway this guy who we don't know much about but looks like an arse hole enough so we get it but I feel no emotional connection that Tess's club(played by Cher)! Is going to be shut I don't know the history or her life situation maybe if it closes she can move on and eventually start up again in a year. This guy ants to buy out the club so Christina knowing about the building because he be-friends her basically says to the hotel opposite their going to build and be your rival in other words "what you provide they'll provide better." and you too will be out of business so she wins. Tess(Cher) is happy with her for saving the club which again if I knew the history of the club or the length it took for the girls to get where they are or dance like they do on stage I would have felt for them more.
Overall though an enjoyable light hearted film but for me to many mini stories I know only really on the surface but to positive I believe the stories but very good acting by the support cast.
