 Chicago August 28, 2008
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.

Loved the film and loved it more on Blu-ray. Wish they'd put more than action/special effects films on Blu-ray!
What a musical should be! August 1, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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.

Excellent, one of the best musicals ever made. The cast is terrific and they all did their own singing.

I didn't actually know this was a musical. I thought there was music, not many musical numbers. I was pleasantly surprised. The storyline was great. Catherine-Zeta Jones was phenomenal and gorgeous, while Rene Zelwegger was kind of annoying.
