Burlesque

  Dragging my rear-end after two hard days at work, last night I treated myself to climbing into bed early and watching a movie. The brain cells were not working all that well so I chose something light, Burlesque.
  Here is a movie that is simple yet enjoyable. It does not rank right up there for best script or even acting but if entertainment is what you are looking for then definitely watch Burlesque.
  Christina Aguilera stars as Ali, a young woman from Iowa who wants nothing more than to be on the stage. She finds herself in Los Angeles outside a club. The glimmering lights and exotic costumes of the club Burlesque lure her in. After watching one show, she begins to wheedle her way into Tess (whom is played by Cher), the club owners heart.

  The music is upbeat and fun. Cher sings a couple of songs, but it is Christina Aguilera, who carries this movie. That girl can belt out a song!
  Even if you do not enjoy either one of the stars, take a stab at Burlesque. Very upbeat and very entertaining.
