I Saw Her BURLESQUE!


Get your ass up! Show me how you burlesque!

After two months of waiting, I finally watched the movie yesterday with two of my housemates. I’ve been a fan of Christina Aguilera since day one and my housemates really know how to tick me off that’s why I was a bit hesitant of letting them join me. I was afraid they’ll just rant and say annoying stuff about the movie but I was surprised that they enjoyed it more than I did.

And so I thought that gays and girls will only be the ones watching the movie until I saw couples in different ages came. There were kids too. This was something that I did not expect.

During the movie, I was so freakin' nervous like I was watching a live show. I was scared Christina might end up making a mess of her character but it did not happen. God! She was so fabulous! A true STAR!

These are the things I liked about the movie:

1. Although I’ve seen most of Christina Aguilera’s production numbers for the movie, I was still dumbfounded watching them on the big screen. My favorite would have to be “Show Me How You Burlesque”

2. Cam Gigandet was such a cutie. I enjoyed all his scenes with Christina especially the part when he got naked and with only a box of cookie covering his genetalia private area.

3. If Kristen Bell’s character was real, for sure I’d pray that she’ll burn in hell.

4. Cher and Stanley Tucci’s friendship is the kind of friendship I think I now have. It was fun seeing them together.

5. Every now and then you’ll laugh at the funny lines that the characters would throw at each other. The crowd can’t help but cackle and giggle.

I didn’t have high hopes for the movie to be patronized by the Filipino audience when I should’ve had. I saw that I wasn’t alone and the cinema was full! 

It was a feel-good movie. For few hours I was able to escape from the things that are bothering me for so long. I can’t wait for the DVD to come out for I will surely buy one.
