Radio Times
"There's an innocent sweetness about this showcase for Christina Aguilera's vocal and dance skills that just about excuses its utter hokiness."
Daily Mirror
"There hasn't been a movie this fabulously awful since Showgirls."
Daily Mail
"So bad it's moderately entertaining, Burlesque is a lesson in how not to put on a musical."
