San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleDec 9, 2010
It's big, perfectly cast and entertaining in every way, but more than that it feels like a generous public event. Read full review

Miami HeraldRene RodriguezDec 9, 2010
Reminiscent of Showgirls minus the sex, nudity, sleaze, bad acting and horrible dancing, Burlesque is a typical A Star is Born story. Read full review

MovielineStephanie ZacharekDec 9, 2010
But what makes Burlesque truly delectable - for the first half, at least, before its going-nowhere storyline really heads south - is its less obvious camp value. Read full review

Washington PostAnn HornadayDec 9, 2010
Burlesque delivers eyeful after eyeful of rapid-fire opulence and spectacle. But its most memorable sight is the indelible image of one star taking flight, and another triumphantly staying put. Read full review

Boston GlobeWesley MorrisDec 9, 2010
It's entertaining enough, like watching a celebrity workout film with a plot. But never once is it believable. Read full review

Philadelphia InquirerCarrie RickeyDec 9, 2010
Burlesque is a preposterous and intermittently entertaining lesson in how to make a movie musical with a little brains and a lot of talent. Read full review
