The critics really panned this one, but I have to say they were wrong again. I don't know what it is about Christina, but this girl just can't get a break. They were pegging it to be the next Showgirls/Glitter but Burlesque is far from it. This was a fun, and exciting little musical, entertaining from start to finish. Allie (Aguilera) is a small town girl with big city dreams that travels to LA in hopes of becoming a star. She winds up walking into a Burlesque theater and here our movie begins. Seems typical, and it could have been, but this movie's musical numbers and dance sequences makes it more reminiscent of Chicago. Also the big name stars and their excellent performances all helped in shaping this Gem. Only disappointment, was Alan Cumming's small & pointless role wished they had used him more. Christina was especially good in her acting debut, looking forward to more from her. I gave it 4 JUICY MANGOES, I think I'll even see it again.
