what do the critics know?

Rating: 8/10 (19 December 2011)

What do the critics who panned BURLESQUE know about a vastly entertaining movie that's a good love story with some incredible choreography? NOTHING! They are so focused on how their own expectations were unmet that they failed to enjoy and appreciate some terrific acting, dragging the movie through the garbage of their own sour attitudes and unmet expectations I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and how the small town girl used her inborn chutzpah to take over an unmet need in the nightclub she was drawn to. Triumph of the human spirit and all that! Christina Aguilera never looked or sounded better and Cher was great too. Good to see Cam Gigandet as a human without the TWILIGHT vampire disposition. Nice to know he can act, too! Altogether an entertaining movie worth numerous viewings of the DVD and much more positive attention than the so-called critics could ever muster!
