Christina Aguilera makes her dramatic feature debut as Ali, a small-town singer who takes her shot at stardom performing at a neo-burlesque nightclub in Los Angeles. Situated in a regal old theater that's still dazzling despite having fallen into disrepair, The Burlesque Lounge is the kind of club where legends are born. When club owner Tess (Cher) hires charismatic Ali as a cocktail waitress, the ambitious big-city newcomer goes to great lengths to make a good impression. Taken under the wing of a friendly featured dancer (Julianne Hough), Ali quickly realizes that not everyone is quite as nice when she forms a friendship with bartender/aspiring musician Jack (Cam Gigandet) and incurs the wrath of the club's cattiest showgirl (Kristen Bell). After making her leap to the stage with a little help from a sympathetic stage manager (Stanley Tucci) and the club's playfully androgynous host (Alan Cumming), Ali becomes the star attraction at The Burlesque Lounge, and the crowds start packing in. Later, a wealthy businessman (Eric Dane) makes a bid for the club while trying to charm the talented young performer straight into his arms. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Fabulous film starring the sensational legend Cher and the unbelievably talented, Christina Aguilera. This film features showstopping music extravaganza after extravaganza. The two sensations light up the screen, as does Cam Gigandet as the adorable Jack. Also notable are Kristen Bell as Nikki, the ever talented Peter Gallagher as Vince, Stanley Tucci as Sean and Eric Dane as Marcus. Broadway star, Alan Cumming was wasted in this film. If you like musicals, this is a movie for you. If you don't like musicals, well too bad...
