The story is flat and earthy, about a waitress named Ali Rose (played by Christina Aguilera) that ambition is to become a singer. In order to realize his ambitions, Ali was willing to leave his hometown, Iowa, and try his fortune in the wilds of Los Angeles (LA). His struggle is not easy. Ali desperately looking for opportunities as a singer in various stage and club in the city of his dreams is. In one night, accidentally, Ali saw the club called Burlesque.
Burlesque attraction is so strong to encourage Ali to try his luck in the club. When meeting Tess (played by Cher) Burlesque club owner Ali was immediately rejected. Ali considered to have no potential for anything. Ali did not give up so easily, thanks to the help of a bartender named Jack, Ali was able to work in Barlesque as a maid. Soon to be the servant, Ali got a chance audition for the stage Burlesque. Because of garanya, one of the dancers Tess resigned and his replacement should be sought. Ali desperate to perform an audition without her permission. After the audition, she still doubted the ability Ali. Ali's struggle to convince Tess. Finally, she also gives a chance to Ali. Lunge kick started Burlesque Ali on stage as a dancer.
The storyline then I can guess yourself, Ali became a favorite spectator. And it's not without cause, when the appearance of Ali sabotaged by his own jealousy, Nikki, Ali issued a stance flagship: singing. Ali to sing in front of an audience with an amazing voice. She hardly believe it myself with the Ali voice capabilities. Especially during this cabaret show on stage Burlesque lipsync done by the singer-artist. Ali for a live appearance in front of dozens of spectators were making noise Burlesque. Everyone was amazed chuckle and give applause. Action Ali unexpected it made more famous Burlesque club.
Burlesque Acts also embellished by elements of the conflict, dramatic elements, and elements of romance. But the three elements do not create a strong story and touching Burlesque. The impression that appear so ordinary and common in romance movies and musicals young kind of "Step Up 3" (2010) and "Break Dance" (about 80s). To add a dramatic element is reported to Burlesque will be confiscated by the bank because of debts. On the other hand, a wealthy businessman, Marcus offered to help finance her by buying Burlesque. Later Marcus will build business center in the land Burlesque club. The offering, of course, rejected her, because Burlesque is a part of him and he would not release. She also must fight to save Burlesque from bank foreclosures and Marcus. But thanks to his idea of the Ali, Burlesque escape the threat of foreclosure and Marcus. Again, the Ali became his hero Tess.
Burlesque film can not be juxtaposed with "Moulin Rouge" (2001) and "Chicago" (2002), and "Nine" (2009). Moulin Rouge was nominated for best film Oscar in 2002, Chicago became the best film Oscar in 2003, while Nine became the best film at the Golden Globe in 2010 for Musical or Comedy category. Ironically, in a review in Time magazine, juxtaposed with a more suitable Burlesque Showgirls, Glitter - Mariah Carey her, or Crossroads - Britney Spears him. This is really sad, because the three films of the latter is by many critics considered the film failed.
Apart from the weakness of it all, Burlesque remains entertaining spectacle. Action Burlesque cabaret on stage rather unsightly, especially the erotic movements Christina Aguilera on stage Burlesque, definitely make the guys hold a minute saliva. Let no less with the juniors, Cher has also contributed a song of grief on stage Burlesque. But the happy news, Burlesque still managed to get nominated for best film in the category Musical or Comedy Golden Globe in 2011, although ultimately failed. Bravo!
