And this is the Burlesque I expected.

Rating: 7/10 (29 June 2019)

I loved this movie, watched it more than a few times. It's great music, GREAT singing, two remarkable divas, unless you count Stanley Tucci who's a doll in this role, so that makes three. This is the behind-the-scenes movie I had once expected with Moulin Rouge. I love live theater, and this gave it in handfuls. Sure, it could have been more, and Alan Cumming should have had more though his moments on screen were priceless.
It's burlesque, it's naughty, it's back-biting and it's where music and dreams collide.Just the fab musical numbers won me over, Christina Aquilera's singing was fabulous and Cher's solo worth admission.
The love story was a little too drawn out and the film sagged in the middle from, but the rest, was fun, lively and did I say it before, Great Music.
