Burlesque

November 26.

I don't know why I always get sucked into these movies. It's like I see sparkles and hear singing and think "oh, that's going to be good." But it's never good. Never ever ever.

The small town girl with a big heart and even bigger dreams makes her way to the big city. She wants her name in lights and works her way up, standing up to the established stars, proving her talent, and stunning the legend, the boy she likes, and pissing off the current star who's a massive bitch. As she makes her way into the spotlight she dates the wrong guy but eventually finds her way to the nice boy and ends up with everything.

Kinda sounds like "Showgirls" doesn't it? Nope. "Coyote Ugly?" Try again. This is "Burlesque," and it's awful. Sure, Cher and Christina can sing. The dance numbers are fun, the music is great, and Stanley Tucci can do no wrong, but, oh god, the acting, the dialogue, the story. It's so awful.
