“This film is about a small town girl from Iowa who goes to Los Angeles to pursue her dreams of dancing and singing.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;Burlesqueu0026quot; is very enjoyable on many levels. The costumes and sets are dazzling, and the dances are great. The moves are seductive but not erotic, and I commend the choreographers for getting this fine balance right. Christina Aguilera has always been known for her powerful voice, and in u0026quot;Burlesqueu0026quot; her voice and singing skills are brilliantly displayed.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIn some films, the abundance of songs can make the film like an extended music video, or is awkward or forced. In u0026quot;Burlesqueu0026quot; there is no such problem. The speaking scenes and singing scenes transit smoothly from one another. Another thing I really like about this film is the witty lines, they made me laugh so many times! I never thought u0026quot;Burlesqueu0026quot; could be so good, I think it should have made a lot more in the box office.”
