Reviews of Cher's movies haven't always been complimentary, but if we're to believe Cher, the lackluster nature of the films she appears in isn't necessarily her fault. She was attracted to playing the part of Tess Scali in 'Burlesque' by the quality of the script, but found that when the time came to shoot it, director Steve Antin's vision was completely different to hers.
Cher tried to argue the case for her own interpretation of the character on the set, but her complaints fell on deaf ears, with Antin allegedly telling her that he didn't care for her input, and that the film was really just about the dance sequences anyway. She's acknowledged that the film was a failure, and drove the nail home by labeling Antin a 'really terrible director.' We suspect that's the end of their working relationship.
