Burlesque (2010)

This is a little bit Splash Dance, little bit Moulin Rouge, and just a little bit Cabaret with an LA twist. All in all, it's a fun movie if you like singing and dancing with a little sex on the side. Keeping the PG-13 rating was surely important at the box office, so make that very little sex.

Cher plays the owner of a cabaret-like dance club in LA that Christina Aguilera wants so badly to dance in. Cam Gigandet plays one of the bartenders, and Stanley Tucci plays the glue that holds them all together. Brava Seniore Tucci.

This is a good movie to watch loud unless you don't like loud thumping dance music. And if that is the case, don't watch this movie at all. This story really is about the singing and dancing, and a little bit of romance and real estate finance.

Watch this movie with someone who likes a good live show.
