Summary: Zellweger and Zeta-Jones are ZUPER !!!!
Comment: That's right, Zuper! Zuper! Richard Gere was great as the manipulative, money-hungry, publicity-grabbing laywer Billy Flynn working to get Roxie Hart (Rene Zellweger) off of a murder charge. John C. Reilly's "Cellophane Man" was surprisingly entertaining. Along with of course, Richard Gere's great "puppet man" scene.
But Zellweger really steals the show. Well, along with Zeta-Jones' super performances. Catherine Zeta-Jones with a real "triple-threat" performance (like that of Zellweger) really helped put this movie over the top. What a pair of bombshells. The Duo's closing number is awesome. Super choreography throughout the entire movie.

Summary: Chicago
Comment:
Wonderful dancing and story line. I especially thought the late scene where the two women come on stage brandishing their guns was funnee! A parody of their own lives.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Crisp and bright
Comment: Loved the film and loved it more on Blu-ray. Wish they'd put more than action/special effects films on Blu-ray!
Customer Rating:
Summary: What a musical should be!
Comment: I admit I never saw the stage musical so the plot and characters were new to me. Nonetheless, Chicago is a rollicking, foot-tapping, hot musical that doesn't apologize for its direction and content. Roxie Hart is a naive but strong-willed young woman who's determined to be famous. Velma Kelly is a veteran of the stage but is sparsely rewarded despite her dedication and talent. The two eventually collide when Roxie begins winning hearts (and the press) with her story while Velma must face the reality that she's yesterday's news. The slick lawyer not only must juggle Roxie's front page case but also the restless Kelly who is chagrined that even her own attorney begins to turn his back on her. This movie is not for everyone, musicals rarely are, but to those who enjoy a well-developed story with never boring characters this film is a must. A well-deserved best picture nod.

Summary: Chicago (Blu-ray)
Comment: Excellent, one of the best musicals ever made. The cast is terrific and they all did their own singing.
