It takes a LEGEND... to make a STAR.Burlesque (2010) is a musical movie starring Christina Aguilera and Cher.
Synopsis: Ali (Christina Aguilera) is a small-town girl with a big voice who escapes hardship and an uncertain future to follow her dreams to Los Angeles. 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.
Burlesque (2010) is Aguilera's theatrical movie and musical debut as the lead character, Ali, a "small-town girl with a big voice," who finds work at a Los Angeles neo-burlesque club.
The paragraph below is quite sentimental, quoted from Wikipedia:
"Of course, me being me, I had to give her one tiny bit of advice. It was in the scene in which Tess says, "OK, I'm going to build the show around you." There was a close-up on Christina, and though she had a beautiful look on her face, I knew she had more to give. I went up to her and said, "Christina, this is the moment you've been waiting for all your life. Not your character's life, but yours. It's now or never." Moments later I watched her pull years of tears out of those baby blue eyes. Yeah! I know this beautiful child can go as far, and as deep, as she wants to go. I'm proud of her and I am proud to be in this film with her." Cher on scenes with Aguilera.
If you're a fan of musical movies and if you really like Christina Aguilera, you should watch this movie. Beautiful and powerful voice; gorgeous and sexy costumes; elaborate and daring dance choreography - that's all you need for a really enjoyable musical movie. And of course, Christina Aguilera. ;)
