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...

Everything you want out of a movie musical can be found in this film. Sure, it is a bit campy (e.g Cher's awful one-liners), but it's made up for with Christina's tremendous voice and pretty good dance moves.

I didn't think I would like this when it came out. Mostly because I thought it was going to be raunchy, but I am happy to say I was wrong. This is a wonderfully done, very positive movie that leaves you feeling good.

I watched at a friends house and fell in love with it immediately. I loved it so much that I bought 3 songs from the soundtrack and bought the movie on Google Play :) I would recommend this movie to any one who loves dancing and singing along with a little sexy twist thrown into the mix.
