Christina is probably well aware of the importance of a good first impression.Her Mickey Mouse Club cohort Britney Spears hasn't acted in a film.
Christina plays an Iowa girl.Her talent is singing and dancing.She demonstrates with an out-of-nowhere rendition.'Something's Got A Hold On Me' whilst gyrating around a chair.Before long Ali is in Los Angeles and waiting the tables of Tess (Cher) and Sean's (Stanley Tucci) burlesque joint. With the club in financial turmoil, a desperate Ali takes to the stage and makes an immediate impression.
Ali manages to catch the eyes of engaged bartender Jack and Marcus.Her arrival also disrupts Nikki, the club's queen bee dancer who refuses to be upstaged by "a slut with mutant lungs".The iconic Oscar/Cannes/Emmy/Golden Globe/Grammy winner headlines the movie but is often on the sidelines.She does get one moment alone in the musical spotlight.
Burlesque will likely sate the desires of both its stars.Hardcore fanbases and register on the guilty pleasures list, but it's epically contrived and, like some kind of gay Avatar.It could have been worse... it could have been Glitter!
