A small town singer, Ali (Christina Aguilera), moves to the big city for her chance at stardom where she is enchanted by Burlesque, a glamorous nightclub packed with dancers, sizzling music, and an owner (Cher) in need of a star. Jam-packed with visually stunning musical numbers and an all-star cast featuring Eric Dane, Kristen Bell and Stanley Tucci.

Verdict: Burlesque is my type of movie- a musical with drama and romance!
Burlesque begins in the small town of Iowa were Ali (Christina Aguilera) works as a waitress in a diner, after saving all her pay she heads to Los Angeles, on a bus, with dreams of being on stage. After searching high and low for a singing job she finally walks into a Burlesque Club with the 'Best View in Los Angeles' after catching, Burlesque dancer, Cocoa's eye. Ali hesitates as she pays the $20 entry but is blown away by the Burlesque performances. Ali, a dedicated soul, convinces Jack (Cam Joslin Gigandet) to employee her as their waitress and Ali begins to learn every move in the Burlesque show.

Christina Aguilera showcases her sensational voice and surprises audiences with her ability to act whilst Cher drives the film in her convincing role as Tess, the Burlesque Club owner.

Burlesque is a mix between Chicago and the modern music video clips; the knockout performances hit all the right buttons to create an exciting and enjoyable film.
