Burlesque

This trailer is like an amalgam of every musical (successful and not) of the past decade put into a blender with Showgirls.  It could be the biggest disaster movie of the year; and I'll likely be there to go down with the ship.  An odd cast-- Christina Aguilera, Cher, Stanley Tucci, Alan Cumming and Kristen Bell in predictable, seemingly good-time "lets put on a show" vehicle.  I already see it playing in midnight screening around the country.  Yet I can't totally discount Cher, even if one must travel a couple of decades back in time for a worthy movie.  But when she's on (I'm thinking of Moonstruck, Silkwood, Mask, Mermaids and The Witches of Eastwick), it's a lovely thing indeed.
