"Burlesque" partially redeems its clumsy drama through infectious song and dance, enough to win over a midsize teen (and gay) following.

Bah honnêtement, c'est ce que je crains aussi depuis le début... le film a quand même l'air très (trop) girly/bubblegum...

Genre j'ai 2 copines qui veulent voir ce film, le mec d'une d'elles a dit vouloir venir aussi... je l'imagine déja laissant ses match de foot et sa playstation pour voir Burlesque! Grand moment en perspective! MDR


Enfin serieusement vous imaginez un homme de base ou une ménagère de + de 40ans (accro à hercule poirot) regarder ça? lol

une review de Variety:
[font="'Book Antiqua"]désolé je n'ai pas trop de temps pour la traduction, je vais essayer de faire ça rapidement. mais c'est pas trop bon...
(...)

[font=arial, helvetica,]The film economically divides its time between the Burlesque Lounge and Jack's apartment, cutting to the club's neon marquee so often between scenes that a drinking game seems in order. The lounge itself looks great, a model that could easily translate to a themed restaurant or Broadway show if the need should ever arise.

Leur note : 2.5/4 :siffle:

Glitzy, campy, and unabashedly shallow, Burlesque is a contemporary musical drama with a dozen song-and-dance numbers, a let-me-entertain-you spirit, and absolutely no pretensions about what it all “means.”

It’s a style-over-substance successor to Flashdance, and might well have been titled Fleshdanc. But although it embraces its movie-musical clichés as if they were farm fresh produce, and doesn’t try to hide the hoariness of its overly familiar showbiz plot, it also delivers the bouncy, mindless entertainment implied in the title alone without even trying for memorability or significance.

Burlesque is set in a near-bankrupt, neo-burlesque club on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles called the Burlesque Lounge, home of a musical revue that showcases uncomplicated eye and ear candy for its patrons.

Christina Aguilera makes her big-screen acting debut as Ali Rose, a plucky small-town girl from Iowa with a big-time voice from heaven who ventures to LA and gets a job as a waitress at the club, where she is befriended by the bartender (Cam Gigandet), the stage manager (Stanely Tucci), and the host (Alan Cumming), and is in immediate jealousy-fueled conflict with an unreliable performer played by Kristen Bell.

Cher plays Tess, the club’s owner and headliner, who’s desperate to ward off threatened bankruptcy and keep her cherished club open for business.

But what Ali wants to do is to sing at the club. And she gets her chance, impressing Tess with a surprising audition and getting hired as a full-time dancer. And they haven’t even heard her sing yet.

Once they do, she begins performing at the club and wowing the customers, helping return the Burlesque Lounge to its former glory and thus helping Tess stave off the efforts of a wealthy real estate developer (Eric Dane) to buy the place from her and tear it down in the name of progress, a transaction which Tess’s nervous ex-husband and current business partner (Peter Gallagher) is pushing for.

Debuting writer-director Steve Antin has concocted a razzle-dazzle amalgam of Chicago, Cabaret, Dreamgirls, and Sweet Charity, borrowing bits and pieces from each of them. And, really, as they say, is that so wrong?

His script seems intent on helping to bring back the naughty but not sleazy burlesque tradition of suggestive song-and-dance numbers performed by scantily clad but still clothed women.

The musical numbers are a mix of the old and the new (Aguilera performs eight of them, Cher two; pity there’s no double-icon duet), making up for in energy what they lack in variety.

Given the potential for tawdriness here, Antin’s script and style stay on the relatively tame and tasteful side, as the PG-13 rating indicates. The let’s-put-on-a-show innocence isn’t exactly front and center here, but it’s never completely out of the picture either, as the film celebrates in its own way the talent and perseverance of all gotta-sing-and-dance entertainers.

But it’s not textual complexity that Burlesque is selling. It’s the talents of Cher and Aguilera (the latter also serving as the film’s “executive music producer”) that the audience comes to see, and both of them deliver.

Aguilera’s voice is a force of nature, but you knew that going in. The revelation here is her on-screen naturalness in her virtual acting debut: she’s impressively assured in the a-star-is-born manner and not because the lines she’s been assigned are her best friends.

As for Oscar winner Cher (1987′s Moonstruck, remember?), she continues to be a powerful and appealing larger-than-life screen presence, her line readings unfailingly persuasive, even if her presentational signature number, “You Haven’t Seen the Last of Me,” is a shade too calculated as it falls short of its bring-down-the-house aspirations.

So we’ll belt out 2½ stars out of 4 for the guilty-pleasure musical Burlesque, in which Christina Aguilera grabs her fair Cher of the movie spotlight.

'BURLESQUE' - THE UNOFFICIAL, OFFICIAL FILM REVIEW


"An EYE-POPPING EXTRAVAGANZA, EMULATING SHEER EXCELLENCE - ALL IN ONE, EFFORTLESS EXPERIENCE."



BY: Joel A. Horton



"A dream come true..." were the first words I used to describe the spectacle that is 'Burlesque.' Never have I EVER been more captivated visually, mentally, emotionally, physically during a musical. Needless to say, this film exceeded my expectations. From the moment the film began, I was head over heels with excitement. Cher, Stanley Tucci deliver delectable performances, and to be honest, there are no weak acts in this feature film. The one and only, there never will be another, Christina Aguilera..., did not disappoint either.

For Christina's feature film debut as an actress, she excelled in many aspects only some of her contemporaries could only dream of. Christina's performance was believable, sensational, emotionally investing, and left me begging for more. She demonstrated a wide range of talent in a well executed performance. She gives you raw emotion, a naive sensibility, cunning wit, an arresting presence, and bitchiness with a bite to back it up. I'm honestly not even certain if that covers it all or not, but you get my point. Christina's performance in 'Burlesque' is going to be a vehicle that will take her anywhere she wants to go in the acting realm of the entertainment world. Great job, Christina.

The storyline, although predictable, aces the test in this type of format. Our story delivered in ways that capture your heart, body, soul, and mind. There are no stale aspects to this film as well. Most importantly, it's a believable piece of work that offers a little something for everyone. I was taken aback in some points of the film by how I was stunned or astonished at what was happening that either made me audibly gasp, or that literally took my breath away. There were also moments that had me welling up in tears, or exploding with laughter. A truly sensational experience. On the opposite side to the spectrum, there were a few moments that were a bit dorky, but all in all, this only added to the movie's charm.

The musical numbers are sewn well together as well in the storyline and offer an insight into the feelings and emotions that are being enacted on screen. The editing is flawless and is another great job well done. The musical numbers surge with electrifying elements that really do make you want to "get your ass up, and show me how you Burlesque."

'Burlesque,' I dare say, has redefined the musical as we know it.

Review de E! Online

Citation

Review in a Hurry: The singing and dancing come easy to Christina Aguilera. But being a passable actress? Not so much. Cher makes for a good mentor in this by-the-book tale of makin' it in the big city, but she's barely onscreen.

Bland Burlesque isn't even awful enough to qualify as a so-bad-it's-good guilty pleasure. Oh well.

PHOTOS: Movie Premiere Pandemonium!

The Bigger Picture: In this misfire from first-time writer-director Steve Antin, naive Ali (Aguilera) leaves her Iowa hometown to make it as a star in Hollywood. To her dismay, Tess, the owner of the struggling burlesque night club where she finds a job (OMG, played by Cher!), won't give her a chance to strut her stuff.

Tess has bigger problems. She's behind on mortgage payments, and her ex (Peter Gallagher) wants to sell the place. Worse still, the club's resident diva Nikki (Kristen Bell) has become more of a boozy, loud-mouth hindrance than a star.

Oh, but Ali has an ace in the hole. While the other dancers only lip sync, Ali has pipes like a pop star! But are they enough to save the club?! Does it matter?

Pretty much all the set pieces with Aguilera headlining are sexy-cool. The costumes by famed designer Michael Kaplan tease every inch of her curvy body, and fans of the singer will be pleased.

Cher is Cher, and that's a good thing. She's been away from the movies for more than a decade, and even with this shallow role, she finds ways to inject humor—particularly playing off Stanley Tucci.

With two big stars like Aguilera and Cher, there shouldn't be anything wrong with Burlesque being yet another story of fame and fortune in the world of strippers dancers. But so many things fall so flat, it's hard to forgive.

Antin, who's made many music videos for The Pussycat Dolls, knows how to orchestrate big numbers. Sadly, the film lumbers forward in frantically edited five minutes sequences, never building to anything compelling or seductive. The dancers are sexy, but the motives of everyone are strictly of the PG "I just need to keep trying my best!" variety.

Worse, the offstage dancer banter is painful, and it's clear Aguilera can't connect with her costars. We can understand why—she has become a pop idol by performing for audiences, not interacting with them. Put that same attitude in a scene, even a fairly straightforward one with her flirting with roommate/love interest (Cam Gigandet—Twilight alert!), and nothing resembling chemistry registers.

Aguilera is miles ahead of the cold, energy-sucking screen presence that has always plagued Madonna, but it's not enough. Overall, Burlesque ends up more Coyote Ugly bland than Showgirls trash. Too bad.

The 180—a Second Opinion: If you're a fan of Cher and/or Christina, it doesn't matter that the movie isn't any good. For you, we say, go forth. Christina has a few show stoppers, and Cher has one short but effective solo. Just don't expect to hum these tunes as you leave the theater.

Dans les grandes lignes il est dit que le film est beau divertissant, les numeros en mettent peut-être pleins la vue mais la recherche artistique est quasi-inexistante :siffle:
Rien d'attirants ou seducteurs même si Antin sait comment orchestrer des mise en scène, de part ses implications dans les videos des Pussycat Dolls ‼ (heu ?)
Tout s'accorde à dire que Cher qui malgré son rôle creux s'en tire bien parce que c'est Cher et Stanley Tucci relève lui aussi la valeur des personnages secondaires .. .

Quant à Christina :
Le chant et la danse sont les valeurs sûrs de Christina dans son rôle mais son talent d'actrice pas vraiment ‼
Ses tenues sont vraiment bien et mettent un point d'honneur à valoriser son corps, les fans seront ravis ...

Point encore négatif, il semblerait qu'elle ne soit pas en cohésion avec les danseuses et le reste du casting ( à oui ? ) et que même si cela ne dérange pas tant que ça quand elle exerce dans son domaine de chanteuse ( hors écran ) lors de ses concerts, la même attitude dans le cinéma n'est pas compatible Pire, même sa liaison avec son amoureux à l'écran (Jack) Cam Gigandet n'a rien de l'alchimie annoncé ‼

Seul vrai point positif, paraîtrait que Christina est tout de même à milles lieux de la froideur et le manque d'énergie qui colle depuis toujours à Madonna .. .
( même si cela ne fait pas tout selon le critique )

En un mot ca resume les 3 reviews que j'ai vu en plus de celle-ci, le film à une note de C-

la présence de Stanley et Cher est un atout car leur jeu est bon, quand à Christina il semblerai que sa conviction sur scène n'est pas son point fort ( hors de ses scènes de chants qui la sauve ) -> on regrettera quand même le fait qu'elle ne fasse pas l'unanimité ce qui est dommage :u_u::/

La fin du film serait plus du Coyote Ugly ( par le côté girly ) que du Showgirls ( par sa fin moins bonne enfant, qui selon l'auteur de la critique aurait été plus profitable et aurait donné de la profondeur au scénario )

------

Les commentaires des internautes sur le site E! Online sont quand même plus rassurants même si la moitié doivent venir de fans ‼
Cette critique de E! Online me fait un peu peur ( étant donné qu'ils ne sont pas spécialiste du genre :unsure: )
