I was fortunate to attend a special engagement preview last night, which I found very entertaining. I don't go to movies often, but I would recommend this one. The subject does evoke memories of Chicago and Cabaret, and the movie is done in a similarly tasteful way. Aside from Cher, the beloved icon of the mostly GLBT crowd, you get great performances from Christina Aguilera (Ali), Stanley Tucci (stage manager Sean), and Eric Dane (the sexy entrepreneur Marcus). You also get to see some hot bodies and hear some great singing, woven in an entertaining plot. It's not boringly predictable, but if you're astute and observant, the clues are there for you to figure it out. My favorite would have to be Jack (Cam Gigandet)--he's amazingly sexy (with or without clothes--how's that for a teaser). It's those eyes of his that would make you want to wrap your arms around him. (Sorry guys, just read his girlfriend just had a baby... Bet you Lovelumps, Ms Deidra, and Ms Kiana would love to see him in a Broke Straight Boys episode

) I think you'll appreciate Cam even more when you see the movie in its entirety. Initially I thought it was mainly about Cher, but I liked the focus on the mix of characters...Cam definitely caught my attention from the start, without even being the top attraction. I had never seen/heard of most of these actors (except Christina and Cher), which isn't surprising given my lack of movie exposure.
