If you look through my “Obsessions” tab, read anything I’ve written on this site, or know me on a personal level — it’s safe to say this movie is not targeted to to me. True – I’ve always held strong on my opinion that Christina was better than Britney even in their heyday. True – I saw Coyote Ugly in the movie theater with my girlfriend (who would later become my wife).  True – I’ve always wanted to sport a bowler hat, silk vest, and cane and dance the night away in a top secret smoked filled club. Ummm.

Here is the Burlesque trailer. Say what you will about it – it’s going to make a killing at the box office. Practically every movie being released is targeted to  young males. Finally, the women have something made specifically for them outside of Sex and the City. Sadly, this trailer is awful. And looking eerily like Coyote Ugly (shudder).

Burlesque is an upcoming musical film starring Christina Aguilera, Cher and Stanley Tucci. Christina Aguilera will make her theatrical film and musical debut as the leading character, a “small-town girl with a big voice”, who finds work at a Los Angeles neo-burlesque club, inspired by Bob Fosse’s Cabaret. The film also marks the first starring role in a decade and first musical film for Cher. She plays Tess, a former dancer who struggles to keep the nightclub open and serves as a mentor to Christina Aguilera’s character, Ali. Aguilera’s love interest will be played by Cam Gigandet and Stanley Tucci has been cast as the nightclub’s manager.

Release Date: November 24th, 2010
