I was very much looking forward to Burlesque for a while now. Aside from my appreciation of the artform (for more reasons than the obvious titilation) the cast was looking pretty amazing. Even with a popstar trying to be an actress in the lead.
This feels like an overly elaborate Chistina Aguillera music video paying tribute to the trash classic Showgirls.
Kristen Bell is in there somewhere (she’s the one underestimating) and thats enough for me. Agulera is a great performer and the dance scenes and music are sure to be awesome.
And Cher? I’d say its great to see her again, but that girl hasn’t aged since the 80s. Alan Cumming? Stanely Tucci? Great cast.
But outside the singing and dancing parts that trailer was painful.
Still hoping this is just a bad trailer, as that cast looks poised to hold up this singer trying to be an actress thing pretty well.
This could be Christina’s Glitter, or Crossroads, or Gigli.
Or maybe not.
