Christina Aguilera makes her dramatic feature debut as Ali, a small-town singer who takes her shot at stardom performing at a neo-burlesque nightclub in Los Angeles. Situated in a regal old theater that's still dazzling despite having fallen into disrepair, The Burlesque Lounge is the kind of club where legends are born. When club owner Tess (Cher) hires charismatic Ali as a cocktail waitress, the ambitious big-city newcomer goes to great lengths to make a good impression. Taken under the wing of a friendly featured dancer (Julianne Hough), Ali quickly realizes that not everyone is quite as nice when she forms a friendship with bartender/aspiring musician Jack (Cam Gigandet) and incurs the wrath of the club's cattiest showgirl (Kristen Bell). After making her leap to the stage with a little help from a sympathetic stage manager (Stanley Tucci) and the club's playfully androgynous host (Alan Cumming), Ali becomes the star attraction at The Burlesque Lounge, and the crowds start packing in. Later, a wealthy businessman (Eric Dane) makes a bid for the club while trying to charm the talented young performer straight into his arms.

  1. Negative review
    Julie Rigg, MovieTime, ABC Radio National Burlesque may be aiming for Cabaret-style glamour, but mostly it plays like stale cheese. Full review External link
  2. Negative review
    Sandra Hall, Sydney Morning Herald The tone is earnest, verging on sentimental. Or maybe it's just the effect of Antin's leaden dialogue, for it inspires some execrable acting. As a movie star, Aguilera is yet to shine. Full review External link
  3. Negative review
    Leigh Paatsch, Herald Sun (Australia) So bad it's good or just plain bad? Terribly entertaining with emphasis on the terribly, or just, you know, terrible? Full review External link
  4. Negative review
    Fiona Williams, sbs.com.au Burlesque is unlikely to convert any new followers to either its stars or its subject matter. Full review External link
  5. Negative review
    Jake Wilson, The Age (Australia) The images are murky and off-putting, the wisecracks fall flat, and the musical numbers aren't stylish or excessive enough to be memorable. Full review External link
  6. Positive review
    Jim Schembri, The Age (Australia) Yes, Burlesque is bad, but it's the good kind of bad, with plenty of unintentional laughs and a powerfully dreadful lead performance by Cher. Full review External link

    The 1954 musical remake of A Star is Born could have been titled A Star is Reborn, in that it represented the triumphal return to the screen of Judy Garland after a four-year absence. The remake adheres closely to the plotline of the 1937 original: An alcoholic film star, on his last professional legs, gives a career boost to a unknown aspiring ...
