burlesque

The show felt like a 2 hour music video. I was mildly aware of the plot, but I was blown away by the killer sexy moves, the spot lights, the skimpy dresses, the flesh, the vocals and the ladies. It was a visual feast and nothing more. The simplicity of the solution to Cher's problem was such a letdown. If only all of life's problems can be solved so simply in the last minute. Somehow, for me the pomp saved the show.

burlesque means mockery
