Burlesque (out now) is about a wanna-be performer who moves to Hollywood and gets a big break in a burlesque club. I don't think I've seen a musical with a more unadventurous plot. No chances, no suprises. The cast are decent though and it's nice to see them having some fun with the material. Once is enough for this film. Grade: B-.
