Ali (Christina Aguilera) is a small-town girl with a big voice who escapes hardship and an uncertain future to follow her dreams to LA. After stumbling upon The Burlesque Lounge, a majestic but ailing theater that is home to an inspired musical revue, Ali lands a job as a cocktail waitress from Tess (Cher), the club's proprietor and headliner. Burlesque's outrageous costumes and bold choreography enrapture the young ingenue, who vows to perform there one day. Soon enough, Ali builds a friendship with a featured dancer (Julianne Hough), finds an enemy in a troubled, jealous performer (Kristen Bell), and garners the affection of Jack (Cam Gigandet), a bartender and fellow musician. With the help of a sharp-witted stage manager (Stanley Tucci) and gender-bending host (Alan Cumming), Ali makes her way from the bar to the stage. Her spectacular voice restores The Burlesque Lounge to its former glory, though not before a charismatic entrepreneur (Eric Dane) arrives with an enticing proposal...

Ali leaves behind a troubled life and follows her dreams to Los Angeles, where she lands a job as a cocktail waitress at the Burlesque Lounge, a once-majestic theater that houses an inspired musical revue. Vowing to perform there, she makes the leap from bar to stage, helping restore the club's former glory.

I can't stop watchingOk i read some of the reviews and they said all Christina's fans would rate this rly good but I am not a big fan of Christina but I still thought the movie was rly good I loved the plot and the characters were realy nice I really liked the fact that Christina was a "good girl" when she first went to the club and then she was a " bad girl" overall I thought it was really good.Koolkat bubblyScore: 5/5

Outstanding!! Love It!!I figured if Cher & Christina Participated it must be a Good Movie. Neither Needs to take bad Roles & Christina Wouldn't Produce it, Risking Her Money if it was terrible. They were Outstanding!! Both are Incredible Singers & Dancers! Their Voices are Amazing & they were Cast Perfect! The Music & Dancing, Wow, Mesmerizing thru out, I've watched it Several times! The Cast was Perfect, Loved Everyone in this Movie!! Everyone put a lot of Hard work into this, it shows & I think it paid off!! My Husband was a Reluctant Viewer, but took a chance, He Loves the Cast, as well. He Really Enjoyed it and also had exactly the Same Comments I made above. We Really Enjoyed it!! We Laughed quite a bit, it's well written!! Seductive, Serious, Funny, Beautiful to watch & Listen to. Cher is Still Beautiful & Belts it Out Perfect as Always!! Christina Stands Next to Cher Holding Her Own, As well, She's Beautiful with an Incredible Voice. The Other Singers & Actors Were perfect Choices!!.SloruninScore: 5/5

Tired, but hard to refuse...Let's face it -- Burlesque is the most bombastical, predictable dud in years. From the get-go we know the story, the characters, and pretty much exactly how things are going to wind up. Aguilera is decent in a shallow, stereotypical role that gives her little challenge. The rest of the supporting cast provide the eye candy that they presumably were asked to provide. For a movie titled Burlesque, it's quite unexciting. It's very apparent that filmmakers aimed for a PG-13 rating to gain the young crowd. Aguilera has a terrific voice and belts out some good (if forgettable) songs throughout. Lucky for Burlesque, it has one phenomenal thing going for it. And her name is Cher. Cher has always been a most natural actress with a powerhouse voice that stands alone. Her character Tess is interesting because Cher makes her so. It's an ashamedly underwritten part that she still inhabits and gives layers and nuances enough to make us wish the entire film was about Tess instead of Aguilera's lead. She also has some playful moments & good chemistry with co-star Stanley Tucci. There are two moments in Burlesque where Cher (literally) takes stage and blows us away with her talent. Her performance of the song "You Haven't Seen The Last Of Me" in the latter part of the film is absolutely powerful. I wanted to give her a standing ovation. The movie is far from perfect (Cher her outspoken self proclaimed she wasn't happy with the result). I wanted less cliche, more realism and more Cher. It's poorly written script is its biggest flaw. Yet it's a must-see for Cher's performance and some good moments stuffed in between the loads of stereotypes..Explorer801Score: 4/5

Feel good flickThoroughly enjoyed this one! Nice to see a "feel good" movie every once in a while when you need it. Cher is still amazing and I did not know Christina had a set of pipes like that! The hair literally stood up on the back of my neck when she cut loose. I'm not usually into musicals but this was just fun. Definitely worth renting..JoudbrenScore: 5/5

PredictableThe singing amazing.....the story line....predictable. Would recommend to watch if you enjoy movies with singing & dancing but otherwise it definitely does not reach par with movies like "127 hours" or "love and other drugs"....still bought it....watched it....entertaining..Foxy_b46Score: 3/5

It is a sight and sound treat, pure pleasure! 101% Fresh!The "prof-critic" seemed a bit harsh on this film. Since there is nothing new under the sun, why bother making comparison among films. Furthermore, this film is neither a retro nor a repro. It's a detailed collage of entertaining drama with satisfactory acting. Yes, perhaps the pace of the movies can be a bit faster with a song or two less. All and all, how about rejoice that there are still investors willing to put up good money to come up with such a production..Stone CastleScore: 5/5
