Bad movie, good musical numbers.

Rating: 1/10 (23 June 2011)

Now I am giving this 1 star even though I enjoyed the movie, well parts of it, let me explain...
Spoilers ahead warning!
I am rating the MOVIE, NOT the dancing, NOT the music, NOT the costumes. The movie itself is pretty horrible. Flimsy storyline, and horrible acting mostly from Christina herself. On a movie level it sucks! But the dance numbers were good. The outfits were good. The music was catchy and good.
I don't know why they turned Xtina's live shows into a movie and added a "plot" around the numbers. I would have been happy to just see two hours of JUST Xtina PERFORMING! Because THAT is what she is good at. She belongs on a stage. Not on a movie set! She is a great singer and dancer. Acting...no, sorry. She is easy on the eyes, but she needs to back it up with acting skill.
This movie was just an attempt to cash in on Xtina's and Cher's names, among other actors in the film. They threw the story together as an excuse to have these elaborate dance numbers. If you saw the movie in one number the "plot" just gets in the way! SHOW ME THE DANCING!
Parts of the movie made no sense like if she was from a small town then why was she the only one without an accent? She sounded like any Hollywood girl! Also Tess would have not been that nice. People in big cities are cruel as HELL! Why did that Veronica Mars girl not sue Tess? I'm sure she was hired to be the main attraction, then just dumped for Xtina? I guess Tess was poor or something. But people took actions that made no sense. If you watch the movie you will most likely only enjoy the song and dance numbers.
