The Burlesque Lounge has its best days behind it. Tess, a retired dancer and owner of the venue, struggles to keep the aging theater alive, facing all kinds of financial and artistic challenges. With the Lounge’s troupe members becoming increasingly distracted by personal problems and a threat coming from a wealthy businessman’s quest to buy the spot from Tess, the good fortune seems to have abandoned the club altogether. Meanwhile, the life of Ali, a small-town girl from Iowa, is about to change dramatically. Hired by Tess as a waitress at the Lounge, Ali escapes a hollow past and quickly falls in love with the art of burlesque. Backed by newfound friends amongst the theater’s crew, she manages to fulfill her dreams of being on stage herself. Things take a dramatic turn though when Ali’s big voice makes her become the main attraction of the revue. –IMDb

God help anyone who helped the makers of this, every single one. And I'm not a religious person.

Admittedly I am not a die hard fan of musicals, but have enjoyed a few of them along the way. But this one although may have great singers in it, it just sucks as a film.

Even though everyone around me hated this movie, I somehow enjoyed it. I have to say that I did not pay any money to see this movie and this could simply be a reason for an additional star. It was an enjoyable 90 minutes of television. If only the director chose not to turn the movie into an Xtina show, and put some effort in developing other characters, I could have even considered another star.
