Story:Ali Rose is a young, hard-done-by girl who works in a bar in a small town in Iowa. Her boss hasn't paid her for two months and she has finally had enough. She takes what he owes her from the till and decides to leave for Los Angeles to pursue her dream of singing. After a fruitless day of searching for jobs in her new home, she winds up at a burlesque bar and becomes enthralled with the whole concept. She tries to persuade Tess to let her go on stage but Tess won't hear her out.
Ali meets the friendly bartender Jack and starts to waitress for him because she knows this is where she belongs. Later, Tess auditions Ali and hires her as a dancer to replace a newly pregnant dancer named Georgia. One night, Nikki, the most famous dancer in this bar, gets drunk and is not allowed to perform by Tess, so Ali takes her place. Nikki cuts the music out of jealousy, but Ali impresses everyone with her own voice. She becomes the new star of this bar and earns it a reputation.
Ali had some dates with a successful businessman named Marcus before she realizes that her true love is Jack, whom she has to share an apartment with after her hotel room is robbed. Meanwhile, running out of money, Tess is worried that she has to sell the bar to Marcus, who intends to tear down the club and build a skyscraper. Finally, Ali helps Tess solve the problem by selling the air right of this place to another businessman. Tess has financial resources and Ali stays at the bar as its most valuable star.

After waiting for a long time, Burlesque finally come to Malaysia. I was unable to watch it at the 1st time until now. A movie never to be missed. With her powerful voice and her voluptuous body, xtina definitely owned this film. But Cher's "The Last of Me" is certainly a great performance which is memorable enough until it won several awards, bravo.
The whole film is damn gorgeous, but not so compatible to the bitchy Moulin Rogue, lol. And Cam Gigandet's butt is a must-watch in the whole film, yummy~
