Like so many critics have said, Burlesque was nothing to write home about when it came to acting or originality, but Christina Aguilera made quite a performance. Yet they still all have responded with one very similar cry; “When can i see it again?”. Just like many poorly thought out movies, Burlesque relied very much on the characters/actors to fill the holes in the movie. Now although it was not the casts’ career making performance; it certainly wasn’t short on entertainment.
For one, the sultry & beautiful Christina Aguilera looked absolutely fabulous. Her gleaming blonde hair and pouty looked played well for her in this overused character type. She’s a far cry prettier and sexier than the Coyote Ugly girl, of which its theme was very much present in Burlesque. Unluckily for Christina, she had to play a role that has been used in every type of over the top college film and rising star flick. But the way she wore those outfits and costumes pushed the film over the hump.
Quite obviously the Siren & Angelic voice of Christina Aguilera made the musical aspect a hit when you work in the vocal talent of both Cher & Christina. Some of the greatest parts of the film are with Christina all glammed up belting out yet another powerhouse song that rattles your bones and gives a slight tingle. Definitely better than any musical release in the last couple years, both on tv and in the theaters.
All in all it is the small moments within the movies subtext that make this watchable, likable, and wonderful. The classic aura of Cher and her voice combined with the sex appeal and soul of Christina Aguilera and her voice give this film enough stars to spend your hard earned money on a ticket. It may be your niche’, so check it out.
