Burlesque exceeds my expectations by far

Rating: 10/10 (22 December 2010)

Although I read a fairly good amount of negative reviews, I still decided to go see Burlesque with my friends. To my surprise, I sat in the theater for almost 2 hours truly amazed by this movie. It is a cliché, a familiar theme that has been told before. Nowadays, a lot of movies are clichés. And there are quite a few remakes also. However the movie is truly entertaining, fun, interesting. The singing, dancing, dialogue, acting ... are all excellent. Christina and Cher deliver some great songs. The chemistry between Christina and Cam Gigandet is adorable. Cam Gigandet is by far my favorite actor of all time. I am so happy to see him have decent screen time, and to see him perform such a lovable strip scene. I could have paid $500 just to see his Famous Amos cookies scene. I give 10/10. I anxiously wait for the DVD to be released.
