Burlesque (2010)

A small-town girl ventures to Los Angeles and finds her place in a neo-burlesque club run by a former dancer.

This movie was alright.  Not the musical I wanted it to be and not the small-town-girl-turned-stripper movie either.  Essentially this movie was just Christina Aguilera showing off.

There was no plot line.  The characters were never developed.  This movie lacked a soul.  By the end I was grateful for the credits and that's when you KNOW a movie is horrible.

This movie was so bland and average that I have nothing else to say about it.  I would recap the plot, but there wasn't one.  They tried to create conflict but it didn't work out because the main character always made the right choice.

Granted Aguilera is a great singer/dancer/performer, but acting is not her forte.  I will appreciate her from the comfort of my car radio, nothing further.

Overall, don't bother watching this movie.  There's nothing to see...really.  2 stars because I wanted so much out of this movie but was extremely disappointed.  One positive note?  The soundtrack.
