DVD Movie Reviews

Loved Chicago and couldn’t get enough of Mamma Mia!? Then you’re going to gobble up Burlesque which has all the razzle dazzle that you need! Tess (Cher) owns the struggling Burlesque Lounge in Los Angeles and each month, it becomes harder to make ends meet. A retired dancer herself, Tess is reluctant to accept Marcus’ (Eric Dane) offer to buy the club. Tess’ final hope arrives unexpectedly in the form of Ali (Christina Aguilera) who begins her tenure at the club waiting tables. Ali’s got all the talent, energy and hope required but she’s going to have to withstand a heap of opposition from the jealous Nikki (Kristen Bell) who’s very threatened by Ali. But nothing will stop Ali, a talented singer and dancer who’s also been asked to choose between Marcus and Jack (Cam Gigandet), two boys keen on claiming her heart. Thanks to a couple of red hot performances from Aguilera and Cher, Burlesque hits all the right notes!
