Official BURLESQUE Trailer - In Theaters 11/24

In 2010, pop sensation Christina Aguilera was at the height of her power as a rare breed of female pop ingenue who looked great, could seriously dance, and had the vocal pipes to back it all up. Sony Pictures caught onto this and gave Aguilera her very own star vehicle, . Realizing she may not be able to carry the film on her own, Sony cast her alongside Cher, who plays the owner of a burlesque-style nightclub who catches the eye of Aguilera’s Ali, a young girl with big dreams who has just moved to the big city. Somewhat hampered by 2010-era visuals, Burlesque is a fab time with scene chewing performances by Cher, Alan Cumming and Stanley Tucci as well as solid song and dance numbers.

    Zahler’s unwillingness to take a side in the action of his characters can be read as either interesting or cowardlyMy read of Zahler is that he’s a rather conventional moralist posing as an edgelord. The bankrobbers in the film are 100% despicable and deserving death even at the hands of a relatively bad guy like Ridgeman here. And the film is not subtle at all about how Ridgeman could have prevented those bankrobbers from doing some of the awful things they do by just alerting the police as his partner knows they should… but he’s decided to be a criminal whose priority is stealing money. The film is also not subtle about how he’s undone by his character flaw of thinking he can calculate all the odds and control things to his benefit, when he would have actually been better off not trying to push his luck. The “side” Zahler takes is that of the guy who winds up with the best outcome and is the least greedy.
