Bring it On Cher!!!
Category: No Category
Holy Crap I am excited - this could be a bloody sensational film. The cast is amazing - Cher - about bloody time we saw you in another film, Stanley Tucci doing what he does best, Christina Aguilera and that voice just rules, Cam Gigandet and that body and face - YAYYYYY 
Throw in some Kristen Bell and Alan Cumming and this film could be GOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ali (Christina Aguilera) is a small-town girl with a big voice who escapes hardship and an uncertain future to follow her dreams to LA. After stumbling upon The Burlesque Lounge, a majestic but ailing theater that is home to an inspired musical revue, Ali lands a job as a cocktail waitress from Tess (Cher), the club's proprietor and headliner. Burlesque's outrageous costumes and bold choreography enrapture the young ingenue, who vows to perform there one day.
Soon enough, Ali builds a friendship with a featured dancer (Julianne Hough), finds an enemy in a troubled, jealous performer (Kristen Bell), and garners the affection of Jack (Cam Gigandet), a bartender and fellow musician. With the help of a sharp-witted stage manager (Stanley Tucci) and gender-bending host (Alan Cumming), Ali makes her way from the bar to the stage. Her spectacular voice restores The Burlesque Lounge to its former glory, though not before a charismatic entrepreneur (Eric Dane) arrives with an enticing proposal...
There is high hopes for this film as it scores the coveted Boxing Day December 26th release date for this year. Bring the shit on!!! Love You Cher and Christina.

It's not surprising in the least that Christina would do such a movie ... I'd much prefer to see her doing something less glamourous.

This looks so tacky and what a waste of the cast (Cummings and Tucci that is)...doesn't even look like a Showgirls type guilty pleasure but just complete trash...still my favourite musical is All That jazz so what do I know about over produced, candy cane tripe in the Moulin Rouge (one of my most hated films) genre
