A small town singer, Ali (Christina Aguilera), moves to the big city for her chance at stardom where she is enchanted by Burlesque, a glamorous nightclub packed with dancers, sizzling music, and an owner (Cher) in need of a star.

There is, according to Burlesque, a nightclub on the Sunset Strip that looks like a blend of Cabaret and Moulin Rouge and employs a full contingent of dancers and musicians in the service of a neo-retro-burlesque-blues program. Presiding over the craziness within is Tess, a grande dame who also performs occasionally and who could only, under these circumstances, be played by Cher. Entering the scene is a young leather-lunged hopeful from Iowa named Ali, played by Christina Aguilera in her movie-acting debut. The vibe of this glitzy concoction is more Flashdance than Showgirls, despite prerelease predictions that the film would be a campfest of epic proportions. In fact, it's more cornball than trashy. Ali hits most of the clichés of the genre: defying Tess's skepticism by proving her mettle during an impromptu stage number; flirting with the nice-guy bartender (Cam Gigandet, of Twilight) whose home she shares for a while, in a purely platonic way, of course, just until she gets her feet on the ground; and keeping a wary eye on the high roller (Eric Dane, of Grey's Anatomy) who wants to possess her, because, you see, he takes whatever he likes. And did we mention that Tess is facing foreclosure on the club in a month's time? Seriously, you didn't see that coming? Writer-director Steve Antin has no embarrassment about putting any of this across, which may be why it all feels weirdly innocent, if relentlessly silly. Stanley Tucci revives his gay assistant from The Devil Wears Prada, Alan Cumming lurks about in an undefined role that might well have been filmed months after everybody else, and Kristen Bell enjoys a few wicked-witch moments as Ali's main rival. Aguilera, needless to say, belts out her songs as only someone with a very large voice can, and Cher stops the show with an old-fashioned torch song ("You Haven't Seen the Last of Me") that is clearly designed as a roof-raiser. (And, by gum, it works.) This is a ridiculous movie, but it gets points for never claiming to be anything else. --Robert Horton

Perfect for Easter

I ordered a dress for myself (5’4, size 16) in a size XXL and a small for my 11 year old daughter (5’3 size 5), and they looked great with our boys shirts from Children’s Place. My dress fit wonderfully, but she could have wore a smaller size.

I loved it- at first

Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2022

I loved this dress- at first. The problem I had was that it didn’t hide anything. I don’t mean body weight, because I’m not overweight. It draped nicely on me, and flattered my curves. The big problem was that every seam on my underwear was completely obvious.

I tried everything: camisole to cover my bra seams, and a slip to cover the underwear seams, but nothing worked. Instead, the seams became more obvious with each layer, and with each layer came another seam. Even the seamless slip I owned didn’t work. You could see wear it stopped and started. I tried the right underwear, and the right compression shirts, but it all failed in the end.

I bought it for a bridesmaid dress for a wedding that was last minute, so I was unable to buy a different dress. Had to wear it, felt very self conscious, and at the end of the day, couldn’t wait to get back into jeans and a tee.

Anyway, buy this dress at your own peril, but I’d say keep looking even though its super pretty and seems modest at first. More trouble than it’s worth, tbh.

Amazingly soft & modest

Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2019

Verified Purchase

I bought this dress for my engagement photos and have LOVED it! I'm 5'4" and the hem came just below my knees, but not quite mid calf. I have a larger chest (34DD) but a smaller waist (30") and after reading reviews to size down (I normally wear a 6 or 8) the size Small was great.
The neckline scoops down nicely to mid collarbones, but is still modest and doesn't show cleavage. The material is so soft, I couldn't stop touching the dress. The arms are fitted toward the shoulder line, but they have great movement and you have full range of motion with your arms.
The tie hits right at the natural waist. On smaller chested girls it is very cute, but I have to be careful not to tie it too tight otherwise it really accentuates the size of my chest. The pleats on the bottom of the dress and sleeves are super cute and flowy. This is definitely the type of dress you want to dance and twirl in. The bottom has enough fabric weight to it though that you don't risk flashing anyone. The color is beautiful, and I get compliments on it all the time at work and church.

The only complaint I might have is that the dress material does show underwear and bra lines, but spandex or seamless underwear fix that problem. The dress is very hard to wrinkle, but when it does, it just steams right out. This dress is great for summer or pairs nicely with a sweater and booties for fall and winter.

I'm the type who spends hours researching and comparing dresses, and I would wholeheartedly recommend this dress to others.

I was surprised by the T-shirt like material but still like it. Great length and I’ve worn it twice already for summer weddings. Nice mix of casual, flattering yet fancy enough to feel great wearing it!

The picture makes the belt to be at your waist, but the belt is "empire waist" length. Not an issue for most, but it doesn't flatter my figure.

Pay attention to sizing!

Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2020

Verified Purchase

Design is cute. Ordered in two different sizes and colors to try for an upcoming wedding. I liked the fabric and the overall look. However, the only big drawback for me was the crew cut neckline. I just felt like it was a dressy t-shirt at top. I wanted something a bit more formal for this event. But for church or everyday it would have been perfect.

I was not a fan of the Daybreak color, it did not seem to look like the color in the online photo--a lot more purple than blue. I also ordered the Light Blue. This also did not seem to match the online photo (still pretty color though) until I stepped into more natural lighting and then it was exactly the color I expected. I ordered in a size small and medium and felt the medium worked best.

Pretty dress

Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2021

Verified Purchase

This dress is pretty. I'm 5'5, 138lbs, smaller chested and I ordered a small. I usually take a medium, but after reading reviews and seeing pictures I went with the small. Since it's a flowy dress and because I'm small chested I figured it would fit better on top and I didn't want the skirt to be too long. It fit great. A medium would have been too big in this case. The shortest part of the ruffle comes just to my knee so the rest is longer from there. I do wish it was a bit shorter, but at least my one knee shows enough so it doesn't feel long. Also wish it had pockets but I knew that when I bought it. lol. Overall a pretty dress it feels fun and flirty.

Perfect any occasion summer dress and flatters any body type!

Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2021

Perfect summer any occasion party dress. Fit perfectly and flattering for any body type. Can dress up with accessories and heels or wear with sandals for casual dress. I wore it to my cousins summer wedding. As soon as we took family photos-the photographer complimented my dress! Ordered the XL (I’m 5’1 and 195 lbs) in Light blue. I wore mine with iridescent champagne beige weaved platform sandal heel and it looked perfect together. With my height and weight it’s difficult finding a dress that is the right length and hides problem areas in mid section and arms. Material is heavy weighted stretch jersey-not the cheap thin see through fabric material some dresses are. Super comfortable- It felt great and I felt good in the dress too. Hard part is deciding what color because now I want one in every color!

Had so much potential...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 21, 2012

I bought this as I love a good chick flick, expecially if it has some good music and dancing in it. Given the cast includes Cher and Christina I was pretty optimistic about it.

The story follows small town girl Ali as she moves to LA to try and become a star. After a day of unsuccessful atempts to find a job, she stumbles on Burlesque, owned by Tess (Cher) and sets out to get a spot on the stage. At this point you start to feel like you are watching any number of other similar films (Cayote Ugly, Make it Happen etc)

Don't get me wrong, the dancing and costumes and great, but the songs are only ok with none being particulalry memorable. Ali often comes off as whiney or just completely unrealistic while Tess seems to just yell at people a lot. The bonding moment between Tess and Ali is cringe worthy and doesn't feel real. I did enjoy Kristen Bell as the opposition to Ali, she played the egotistical star well. The 2 male leads are charming and defeintely nice to watch. Cam Gidget provides a surprising amount of comedy to the film.

Overall this film has some good points but if you are looking for a good "small town girl makes it in the big city" I would stick with Cayote Ugly.

Rather good actually.....

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 18, 2011

I was not sure I wanted to see this film. I thought it might be a bit tawdry or even a bit weak.
I was wrong. The story is good the costumes and acts superb.
In fact the story is better than good and really quite inspiring in its triumph of hope over adversity. The finding of a legal quirk, is what the plot hinges upon.
Cher is magnificent, I have always thought she is a better actress than singer.
But the absolute, unquestioned star is Christina Aguilera.
Her voice is something I had never paid much attention to before. Some say she could run a demolition team with it. It is simply amazing. She acts well too.
This film? It is really rather good.........

Better Than I Expected

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 28, 2011

As somebody who lists Chicago and Moulin Rouge as two of my fave films, Burlesque sounded like something I'd enjoy. The two main actresses in the film also happen to be two of my favourite singers too which made this film more appealing. Cher is a legend in her own right and despite the tabloid stories, Christina Aguilera has imo the best pair of lungs in modern music and boy oh boy does it show in this film. Kicking off with Something's Gotta Hold On Me and following Ali's journey from small town to LA's burlesque scene there are some really catchy tunes this film will be ideal for any girl's night in. Cher's song award winning 'You Haven't Seen The Last Of Me' is pure gold, her voice is as pure as it was decades ago. Whilst Christina also shows of her balladry skills with Bound To You (her ballad skills are impeccable following her singles Beautiful, Hurt and You Lost Me). There are great supporting actors and actresses in this film including a certain Mr Cummings who had me laughing away with his banana dance routine (rude but very funny). The costumes, the music and the acting is top notch and whilst the script may be predictable it is certainly a very enjoyable affair.
Plus there's plenty of eye candy for both sexes. Anyone fancy one of Jack's cookies?

I'm not going to make out like this is an original story or a musical that will be remembered in years to come... but what the hell, I enjoyed it! The characters are likeable, the acting is pretty good and the music is pretty great. Christina Aguleira and Cher should defintiely do more musical films, because they both have voices that have a very theatrical quality and I made sure to download the numbers they perform as soon as the end credits rolled. There's really nothing heavy or deep about this film, it really is just to be taken as a fun film with some good music. I'd watch it again.
