"No, I've never heard of air rights. What are air rights?" We watched "Burlesque with our friend Paul Caiola from "That Aged Well," and we would like 3 tickets for tonight’s floor show at the Burlesque Lounge. We're willing to look past this pop-up book version of Hollywood, the questionable business practices of the venue, and even the legality of these so-called "air rights," but we will not sit idly by while Cher gets upstaged by "a tacky farm girl from Iowa." Listen, this movie is a whole bunch of crazy, but we are living for it from start to finish. Could the script use a little tightening? Maybe - but we sure do get some amazing one-liners delivered by not only Cher ( “Nikki, don't drive!”) but Christina Aguilera, Kristen Bell, and Stanley Tucci get some zingers in there as well. We're also willing to overlook the fact that Stanley Tucci is effectively playing the same character he gave us in "The Devil Wears Prada" because he plays gay so darn well. Come for Xtina's growl, stay for Cher's iconic line delivery... say it with us - "Wagon Wheel Watusi!"
Thanks for listening all season and we’ll be back with fresh episodes before you know it!
