Burlesque **

"Burlesque" delivers some fun songs, a fairy tale new girl makes good story, and nice dose of Cher, whose face does actually move in one scene. Don't expect too much, and you'll be entertained. Christina Aguilera delivers a few knock-out songs, Cher belts out one of her signature solos, and we get a nice save the club from bankruptcy story. This is burlesque re-imagined, so don't expect much skin, but there are plenty of sexy costumes, presided over by the always-solid Stanley Tucci.

Rated PG-13 (See what I mean about no skin?). 119 minutes. Steven Antin - Director / Writer, Donald De Line - Producer, Bojan Bazelli - Cinematographer, Christophe Beck - Composer, Jon Gary Steele - Production Designer, Virginia Katz- Editor. Distributed by Screen Gems.

Principal actors: Cher, Christina Aguilera, Eric Dane, Sam Gigandet, Stanley Tucci.
