Burlesque

The stars of this film are Cher (looking as questionable as ever) and Christina Aguilera. Straight men should be hearing warning bells and running for the hills round about now.

Despite the hype and Golden Globe win last Sunday, this is essentially just another dance movie playing out in the background of a really long Christina Aguilera music video. Now there’s nothing wrong with this; Christina is a pretty impressive performer, and which woman and gay man doesn’t love a good burlesque routine? Just don’t expect any mind-blowing originality to equal the likes of Chicago or Moulin Rouge. If you keep your expectations around the Step Up or Coyote Ugly mark, you’ll love every minute.

Quite simply, apart from the song and dance there is nothing original, racy or even sexy about this movie. How terribly family friendly of Hollywood…

Rating: 3 outta 5.
