Burlesque
Burlesque was such an absurd idea from the start that I prayed for it to defy the rules of this universe and be marvelous. Cher as a wiseacre club owner? Christina Aguilera as a showgirl from Iowa? Like The Canyons, Burlesque merely mimics the concept of camp without producing any of the outrageous appeal that should go with it. I mean, sure, I can watch the footage of Cher whinnying “Wagon Wheel Watusi!” thousands of times, but that doesn't compensate for the fact that Christina Aguilera’s story line is utterly dull. And her story line featured Cam Gigandet’s naked ass! How is this possible? It’s Love and Other Drugs syndrome all over again.
