Burlesque movie!! Christina Aguilera....

[Bridgette Jean]

"Aguilera will play an ambitious small-town girl with a big voice who
finds love, family and success in a Los Angeles neo-burlesque club that
appears to be right out of Bob Fosse's Cabaret."

So the cast apparently is as follows:

Christina Aguilera, Cher, Cam Gigandet, Stanley Tucci, Kristen Bell...

I know that a portion of the movie was filmed in Toronto wear I live. It is nice that someone is shining a light on such a beautiful art form such as burlesque. Although I'm not too sure on how the interpretation will come across. This could very well taint the image of burlesque and give the general public a negative view. I'm guessing that the majority of people going to watch the film will be burlesque fans anyway, just as the case of Drew Barrymore's "Whip It" which gave the spotlight to roller derby.

So I was wondering what all of you lovely people think! Are you stoked about the movie, not-so stoked? Do you like the cast? Would you want to see anyone else take on leading roles? Let's here some feedback, this movie is about something we here at PL all love!

Like every one else I heard it was going to bommmmb at the box office. Too much cheese and not enough cake! I'll probably go see it, like for morbid fascination, but it seems as if its just a vehicle for Christina Aguilera's personal fascination with pin up and burlesque. Which is fine, but why should we have to suffer for her delusions of being a "hollywood old world movie star"?
