Some of my fave review quotes.
"Cher gets to be a den mother, fag hag and performer all in one. Aguilera wears outrageous costumes and is gifted with shoes that look like they ran away from the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Gay men everywhere will rejoice."
"Thanks to Burlesque, we now have the answer to the question: "Which film ended the film careers of both Christina Aguilera and Cher?"
"Brassy, bombastic and cheerfully vulgar...like a Las Vegas casino show on steroids--a piece of glitzy trash that presumably aims to be campy fun but fails miserably to achieve even that low ambition. "
"The choicest dialogue in Burlesque provokes the sort of laughter that other, intentionally funny films only dream of generating."
"There's a chance you'll like the film. Perhaps if you're Christina Aguilera's mom or the spirit of Sonny Bono reincarnated as a person who can tolerate awful movies."
"Mostly tries to copy Moulin Rouge and Chicago, but comes closer to recalling Mariah Carey's Glitter. "
"At least Aguilera's singing makes up for some of the rest of the film's misgivings. If only her acting was on par, and the film hadn't jumped headfirst into a tub of clichés."
"There isn't an original thought in the entire film. If the script stinks, nothing or no one can save the movie. "
"This cast is forced to utter some of the most awful, cliched lines ever spoken on celluloid. I'd repeat some of them here, but I'm suffering from a sudden case of writer's block."
"We've seen these kinds of clubs before, usually with guys dressed up as Madonna, Barbra, Cher -- wait, there's the guy doing Cher now. In a sailor hat and tights. Oh dear God ... it actually IS Cher."
"Every Thanksgiving needs a turkey, and this year's comes wrapped in a lacy bustier. "
"A movie that quickly proves achingly dull, with none of the madness, verve or talent of Paul Verhoeven's "Showgirls" or even the workmanlike energy of Rob Marshall's "Chicago."
"A generic, sanitized version of Showgirls that blatantly plagiarizes dozens of far superior musicals"
"Makes one long for its NC-17-rated forefather, 1995's Showgirls. "
"The whole thing's so safe, so straight, so completely anti-fabulous it could put Elton John in gray flannel. "
"All the jiggly bosoms, skimpy outfits, and garish songs can't disguise the fact that this picture is utterly brain dead...only things missing here are some type of cancer scare, vampires, and a cameo by Liam Neeson. "
"I's not interesting enough to be a disaster. "
"if I seem fixated on appearances here, what can I tell you; there isn't much else here on which to fixate one's attention"
"Bland Burlesque isn't even awful enough to qualify as a so-bad-it's-good guilty pleasure. Oh well. "
"A terrible film that will delight nearly everyone who sees it"
Namo i love u but we get it already....you don't like Madonna
