Saw this movie at an advanced screening recently and it was a really great film. I went in expecting it to be terrible, but it was really entertaining and had some solid performances from it’s cast. Christina is surprisingly a really good actress, and while her role wasn’t the meatiest thing ever, she did a great job with it and showed some emotional range that made me curious as to what she could do with a more dramatic role.

It wasn’t a super serious film. The whole point of the film was just to entertain from beginning to end and it definitely delivered on that. It wasn’t over the top campy, but it didn’t take itself too seriously either. It did have some cliches, but it didn’t take too much away from the film in my opinion. In fact, I almost think the movie benefited from a more simple story, as the performances were so big and bold. It really grounded the film and prevented it from getting too serious and losing it’s audience’s attention the way films like “Nine” did.

The only time it even went to an OTT place were for the musical numbers, which were all superbly well lit, staged, choreographed, and costumed. It had great cinematography and all of it really provided a visual feast reminiscent of Chicago and Moulin Rouge. I can definitely see Aguilera getting a GG nomination in the musical/comedy category and I wouldn’t be surprised to see Cher or Stanley Tucci get recognized throughout awards season. All in all, it was surprisingly fun and entertaining and is definitely worth a watch.
