Factory sealed DVD</br></br>Product Description</br></br>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.</br></br>Amazon.com</br></br>There is according to <i>Burlesque</i> a nightclub on the Sunset Strip that looks like a blend of <i>Cabaret</i> and <i>Moulin Rouge</i> and employs a full contingent of dancers and musicians in the service of a neo-retro-burlesque-blues program. Presiding over the craziness within is Tess a grande dame who also performs occasionally and who could only under these circumstances be played by Cher. Entering the scene is a young leather-lunged hopeful from Iowa named Ali played by Christina Aguilera in her movie-acting debut. The vibe of this glitzy concoction is more <i>Flashdance</i> than <i>Showgirls</i> despite prerelease predictions that the film would be a campfest of epic proportions. In fact?? it's more cornball than trashy. Ali hits most of the clich?s of the genre: defying Tess's skepticism by proving her mettle during an impromptu stage number; flirting with the nice-guy bartender (Cam Gigandet?? of <i>Twilight</i>) "se home she shares for a while?? in a purely platonic way?? of course?? just until she gets her feet on the ground; and keeping a wary eye on the high roller (Eric Dane?? of <i>Grey's Anatomy</i>) who wants to possess her?? because?? you see?? he takes whatever he likes.
