A few months ago, on a girls night in, we rented Burlesque on a whim. There soon became an evident divide in the group: some of us thought it was atrocious, the rest of us loved it. I was one of the latter. Despite the high pitched voice that Christina Aguilera put on whilst talking that I found extremely annoying, I was so drawn to the music and costumes that I was able to ignore the highly predictable plot. I enjoyed the film so much that I have been listening to the soundtrack during the worst moments of university work to give me some motivation. 'Show Me How You Burlesque' is probably my favourite.

As I was a member of the former of the two groups, I will only say this: "My mom died when I was seven..."
ReplyDeleteThe music was pretty good though :)
I'm going to rent it again. And mute it at any point where she is talking because that fake voice made me want to punch the tv :)
