That’s "Burlesque". First, what works: Cher reminds us why we fell in love with her in movies like Mask and Moonstruck. Full review S. Jhoanna Robledo Common Sense Media No one would try to convince you that a movie called Burlesque might be chaste. Certainly not Christina Aguilera and Cher.

Idk, I just love this movie. The singing and dancing are phenomenal and I continue to love the songs and performances from its release to this very day. As for the love story it's just on the cutting edge of cheesy, enough for my hope*ful* romantic side to adore. Plus it really helps that it has a wonderful cast. For me there's just something about this movie and soundtrack that will always be timeless. Either way give it a try for the heck of it and, well, Enjoy!

I saw a previous review that said the acting was bad. That's total bull$#it!! I have watched this movie several times. It's freaking awesome! Dancing and singing is great. Acting is just as good. Cher is phenomenal in this and I was very pleasantly surprised with Christina Aguilera's performance. They played well off of each other. This is a fun movie!!
