    Sounds like another "Coyote Ugly" but hey, it's my dream-girl Aguilera's debut acting role, so of course, I'm gonna see it. You won't catch me in theaters watching this, though. And if it's a musical - count me out. All I know is, they don't call Christina "the voice of her generation" for nothing. Man, she's got a four-octave voice that literally is unmatchable since Mariah was in her prime (90's). And with Kristen Bell in the Supporting Actress gig, that's two stunningly beautiful ladies taking up screen time.

    What drew me to this topic is Kristen Bell in burlesque/classy singing stripper role...Awesome! After she wore a bikini in Forgetting Sarah Marshal & this weekend's Couples Retreat, this should complete her skin baring trilogy, lol!

    Other than that, this is a die hard "chick movie" using the tried and true struggling artist triumphs formula that works well. This is a rental...a buy if Kristin makes my eyes melt.
