Main Actors: Cher, Christina Aguilera, and Alan Cumming
Synopsis: (from IMDb) The Burlesque Lounge has its best days behind it. Tess, a retired dancer and owner of the venue, struggles to keep the aging theater alive, facing all kinds of financial and artistic challenges. With the Lounge's troupe members becoming increasingly distracted by personal problems and a threat coming from a wealthy businessman's quest to buy the spot from Tess, the good fortune seems to have abandoned the club altogether. Meanwhile, the life of Ali, a small-town girl from Iowa, is about to change dramatically. Hired by Tess as a waitress at the Lounge, Ali escapes a hollow past and quickly falls in love with the art of burlesque. Backed by new found friends amongst the theater's crew, she manages to fulfill her dreams of being on stage herself. Things take a dramatic turn though when Ali's big voice makes her become the main attraction of the revue.
Rating: This was actually not a bad movie. This actually also starred Stanley Tucci, who is a character actor that never fails to make me laugh. The storyline is predictable, but cute. The music is really nice - in fact I downloaded the song "Bound To You", which is a stunning ballad she sings about three quarters of the way through the movie. If you have a free night and some time to kill, this is not a bad movie!
I thought this was decent too, better than I expected thats for sure! :)
