WARNING if you are a straight man just scroll down for the other reviews. Don’t let your girlfriend drag you to see this movie at any cost. Stand up! But if she tricks you into thinking you’re going to see a sneak preview of Tron don’t worry there’s eye candy for you in this Coyote Ugly-esque film starring Cher (here’s where the gay guys come in… it’s your idol!) and Christina Aquilera (here’s your eye candy straight boys).
And for the ladies out there let me just say this movie has some of the hottest and downright sexiest well…sex scenes I’ve seen in quite a while and the main reason is the newest member of my top 5 (or as Pale Thunder would say my top 5,000)… Cam Gigandet as Aguilera’s love interest.
Aguilera (who plays Ali a small town girl tired of being a waitress, 
sneaking in karaoke singing sessions) blows you away with her stunning and downright breathtaking voice. I actually had goose bumps and for those of you who can remember back to high school when you first heard her sing… she’s back. And she’s not a horrendous actress to either. Nothing like her Disney days Aguilera is sensual as a dancer, singer and love interest to my new “boyfriend,” Gigandet.
There are no real surprises here. Of course the illustrious Cher (playing the broke Burlesque bar owner Tess) has to have her moment in front of the microphone and I would say that was one of the most awkward “I’m getting older, but I was famous once so give me a solo” in a movie that I’ve ever seen.
Stanley Tucci (playing Cher’s sidekick Sean) plays the same character as he did in The Devil Wears Prada, but you know what I didn’t care he is hilarious and entertaining as usual.
This is not an Oscar-worthy movie and honestly it doesn’t have to be… its fluff… fun fluff. So take it for what it is a great chick flick. Rent it or buy it just make sure you see it!
