An average movie

Honestly, I wasn't expecting much from this flick but I still ended up watching the damned thing. Obviously, like most of the major female popstars, Christina Aguilera had to play the actress at some point. Eventually, for her first movie, she didn't take much risk as she decided to perform in a musical. Still, even though it was a rather safe choice, I didn't care much for the whole thing. Basically, it is like Aguilera herself, on one hand, she is physically quite attractive but, on the other hand, she looks really trashy as well, like a crossing between a pornstar and a cheap escort-girl. Indeed, they tried to sell the audience that burlesque was a really classy affair but I wasn't really convinced and the whole thing was still pretty trashy. On top of that, the fact that the story was just really pedestrian and rather boring didn't help either. At least, I have to admit that Christina Aguilera was impressive when she was singing, technically, she is a really strong singer, it's just too bad she has this terribly slutty image. To conclude, I really didn't really like it much and I don't think it is really worth a look.
