Show me how you burlesque! Well, Christina and Cher will, at least. This little gem from 2010 is camp, fun and has some great music. Christina was a showgirl and she tries to make it big in a little Burlesque bar run by Cher with Stanley Tucci, Kristen Bell and Eric Dane along for the ride. Music mostly by Christina with some Cher goodness and even Madonna gets a run.
