I'm a big fan of so-bad-it's-good movies, especially ones involving pop stars and divas trying their hand at acting. Showgirls, Crossroads, even the abominable trash heap that was Mariah Carey's Glitter: what they lack in theatrical credibility and decent scripts, they make up for in sheer camp and hilariously quotable lines.
This is why I'll be heading out to see Burlesque as soon as possible. Judging from the glitzy, cheesy trailer, it's going to be more of a hot mess than an Academy Award blitz, but you can't knock a potential so-bad-it's-good movie until you try it. If nothing else, I'll at least get some decent makeup tricks from Christina Aguilera!
