Burlesque (I) (2010)
3/10
Not great
14 April 2020
If you like Christina Aguilera, you will probably enjoy this movie. If you like movies, you probably won't enjoy this movie.

The issue is if you are looking at it objectively as film for watching, it's just not good. There is no drama, no depth, nothing to get you engaged or interested. But Aguilera is super talented - we know this - and I have chosen to factor her singing ability into this rating. Perhaps that isn't right, and instead I can just go and listen to her music separately to enjoy that.

Regardless of the music, I was bored. I didn't care for what was happening, what was coming next, and what might happen. And then when what happened happened, I just watched it happen with no reaction.

My suggestion: skim the in-between bits (the plot is so predictable it will be easy to pick up) and just listen to the Aguilera bits. Or probably better yet, just listen to the soundtrack.
