Plot

Ali Rose (Christina Aguilera) works as a waitress at a bar in Iowa and when her boss refuses to pay her, quits her job and moves to Los Angeles. Once in L.A., she fails at every audition for which she tries out until one night after hearing the music on the street, she finds herself unknowingly at a burlesque club.

Catching a glimpse of one of the dancers on break, she goes into the club and finds Tess (Cher) and the dancers performing "Welcome to Burlesque". Once she meets Jack (Gigandet), a bartender at the club, who is also a song-writer, Ali decides to pursue a career on the stage.

Jack refers her to Tess for an audition, but is rejected instantly and ushered out by Sean (Tucci). Instead of leaving, Ali notices the club staff is short-handed and overworked, so she shrugs and begins serving customers, while Tess and Sean observe with Jack asking Tess to give Ali a chance and hire her as a waitress. Ali takes the position, studying all the dance numbers while waiting tables and trying to befriend a couple of the dancers, who snub her.

Since she has no place to stay, Jack offers up his couch until she finds a place of her own. Thinking Jack is gay, Ali accepts and then finds out that he is not gay, but is engaged to Natalie, a narcississtic blonde bombshell of a Broadway actress (Agron), who is currently back in New York starring in a play. Ali feels uncomfortable staying with Jack knowing that he is not gay and leaves his apartment. However, Jack receives a call from Natalie after Ali leaves, telling him that her play has been extended and she'll be gone for several more months. Jack chases after Ali, asking her to stay and help him with the rent, to which Ali agrees—as long as she gets the bedroom.

When Georgia (Hough) becomes pregnant, auditions are held to replace her. Tess doesn't want anything to do with Ali as a dancer until she curtly explains that Tess can pick any number at all and she'll perform it flawlessly. Ali begins her audition when everyone leaves, and after living up to her word performing "Wagon Wheel Watusi", Tess grudgingly allows her to become one of the club's dancers. Much to the annoyance of Nikki (Bell), an arrogant and snobbish performer who is always late and caught drinking before numbers, Nikki realizes Ali is indeed a better dancer than she is and tries to sabotage Ali at every turn.

Although the club appears to be doing well, Tess is still unable to pay the bank and is at risk of losing the club, co-owned with Vince (Gallagher), Tess's ex-husband. Meanwhile, a wealthy businessman, Marcus (Dane), who is also a regular customer and fan of Nikki, has been trying to buy the club from Tess, who refuses to sell, even though Vince thinks she's making a mistake.

On a night when Nikki has had too much to drink, Tess tells Ali that she will take Nikki's place, which infuriates Nikki incredibly. In her first noticeable attempt to sabotage Ali, and the show in general, Nikki tells the DJ that Tess needs to see him immediately. When he leaves his booth, Nikki pulls a plug on the sound board, successfully interrupting the music and stopping the show. Since all of the numbers are lip-synced, Tess tells Sean (Tucci), the club's manager, to lower the curtain, but Ali begins to sing the song herself accapella. The live band slowly begins to play along with her, leaving the entire club, including Tess in awe of Ali's voice.

After the show, Tess, being reminded of herself at Ali's age praises the new singer and tells everyone that she is going to rewrite the entire show around Ali, who will now sing live, believing that Ali is the ticket to boosting sales and getting her club out of debt. This infuriates Nikki even more than before because it was Nikki herself that originally suggested that performers sing live, only to be dismissed by Tess, saying: People come here to see beautiful boys and girls lip-sync to the stars. When reminded of her so-called rule, Tess replies matter-of-factly that people WILL come to hear Ali sing with a voice like that.

This is also the time when Marcus basically ditches Nikki and takes notice of Ali, so Nikki is even more antagonistic towards Ali, who enjoys her newly found popularity; indulging in attention and expensive gifts from Marcus.

While Jack is still engaged to Natalie, there is obvious chemistry between him and Ali, and Jack becomes jealous of all the time she's been spending with Marcus. Eventually, Jack takes back his bedroom since she's never home anyway and tensions grow stronger when she antagonizes him about not finishing any of his songs, nor letting her hear any. One night after the club closes, Tess, worried with the club's economic prospects, sings "You Haven't Seen the Last of Me".

Feeling more than a little put out after her three attempts at sabotage all backfire on her, a very jealous Nikki shows up drunk and picks a fight with Tess, calling Ali a "slut with mutant lungs". Tess, who has grown frustrated with Nikki, defends Ali and questions her own gratitude for the numerous help she has received from Tess, `peeling her up off the pavement' on several occasions and `holding her head while she disgorged everything but her memories'. Angered, Nikki quits on the spot, and falsely confesses that she slept with Vince after his and Tess' honeymoon. The altercation ends when Tess angrily retaliates by smashing the passenger side window on Nikki's convertible with a crowbar.

At Georgia's wedding, Jack appears to call off his engagement to Natalie while on the phone with her and winds up getting drunk. That night, Ali and Jack sleep together, but the following morning Natalie returns unexpectedly from New York and tells Ali that she and Jack are still together. Jack denies this, and while trying to fix things, he asks Ali to leave. Feeling heartbroken and betrayed, Ali runs to Sean for support, who prompts her to go with Marcus after she receives a call from him. Jack tracks Ali down at Sean's, but Sean tells him he's too late.

While spending time with Marcus, Ali learns about "air rights", which refers to buying the empty space above a building so that nothing can be built above a certain height. Ali breaks things off with Marcus after she sees his plans to build a skyscraper at the location on which the club sits.

After going back to try and patch it up with Nikki, who finally realizes that the trouble is not with her but that Marcus is a manipulator and will do the same to everybody he can, Nikki is not only hurt and stung by this but also realizes that Ali was actually trying to save her from beating herself up over somebody that wasn't worth the time of day. Coming to terms with the fact that Marcus will only take people under his wing in order to use them until they are no longer useful, Nikki returns home for some contemplation.

Tess has just made the rounds of the bankers once again in desperation, and finding no sympathy, comes in with a very large and nearly-empty bottle in her hand. Ali returns to the club and brazenly tries to tell Tess of Marcus's plans, but she is rebuffed. Storming into her office, Ali accuses her of being so narcissistic she can't even see straight.

Torn between the aggravation from a subordinate telling her the truth and the attraction of once again seeing Ali as her younger self with the same determination that got her to where she is today (both good and bad), Tess allows Ali to explain about Marcus' devious plans. Together they go across the street from the club to inform the owner of the new million-dollar condos being built there that the million-dollar views he's been advertising will be ruined by the skyscraper that Marcus plans on building in the club's place if she sells to him, unless he agrees to buy her air rights immediately before Marcus can get his project off the ground. Fearing the loss of business that would result from the obstruction of his prospective tenants' view, he purchases the air rights to the club's property at once.

The resulting money is enough for Tess to pay off the bank, with enough left over to not only buy out Vince's share but to re-fashion the club and remodel it to her own vision as well. Nikki also reappears, apologizing to Tess and admitting she lied about sleeping with Vince. Tess accepts her apology and rehires her. Ali finds out about Nikki and Marcus, and the two girls begin a tenuous bond over being wronged by the same man which blossoms into a true friendship.

Jack finds Ali in the dressing room preparing for a number, tells her that it's over with Natalie, apologizes, to Ali and says that he wants to be with her and Ali forgives him.

The film closes with Ali featuring in front of the dancers, performing one last number, Jack's first published song, entitled "Show Me How You Burlesque".

Cher co-stars in her first film role since 2003's Stuck on You and first musical film.[1] She plays Tess, a former dancer who struggles to keep the nightclub open and serves as a mentor to Aguilera's character, Ali.

Reception

Critical response

Movie review aggregate website Rotten Tomatoes labeled Burlesque with a 36% rating based on 143 reviews,[23] with the consensus of critics nationwide saying that the film is "Campy and clichéd...wastes its talented cast (including a better-than-expected Christina Aguilera) on a movie that wavers uncertainly between 'bad' and 'so bad it's good.'" Metacritic, however, said the film received mixed to bad reviews, and gave the film a weighted average score of 47%, based on 38 reviews.[24] Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune said, "The choicest dialogue in Burlesque provokes the sort of laughter that other, intentionally funny films only dream of generating."[25][26] Mick LeSalle from San Francisco Chronicle gave the movie a full score and praised Aguilera's acting, calling her "jaw-droppingly good in several numbers" and said, "Aguilera knows how to listen to her fellow actors, to react and be spontaneous, and it makes all the difference".[27] Kirk Honeycutt of The Hollywood Reporter called Burlesque "a refreshing throwback to movie musicals that celebrates its stars while indulging in sexy fun" and also praised Aguilera's acting and singing.[28] Lou Lumenick of the New York Post said, "Aguilera can dance like nobody's business, but her acting debut isn't going to keep Anne Hathaway awake at night."[29] Stanley Tucci's performance received praise from Entertainment Weekly[30] and Empire thought the dance numbers were thrilling.[31] Time Out labelled the drama "perfunctory"[32] while Roger Ebert said that "Burlesque shows Cher and Christina Aguilera being all that they can be, and that's more than enough."[33] Variety observed that the film "wants to be Cabaret, but lacks the edge and historical context to pull it off."[34] The New York Times said that the story line "had already gathered dust by the time [of] the 1933 musical 42nd Street.".[35]
