Bob Fosse's sexy cynicism still shines in Chicago, a faithful movie adaptation of the choreographer-director's 1975 Broadway musical. Of course the story, all about merry murderesses and tabloid fame, is set in the Roaring '20s, but Chicago reeks of '70s disenchantment--this isn't just Fosse's material, it's his attitude, too. That's probably why the movie's breathless observations on fleeting fame and fickle public taste already seem dated. However, Renée Zellweger and Catherine Zeta-Jones are beautifully matched as Jazz Age vixens, and Richard Gere gleefully sheds his customary cool to belt out a showstopper. (Yes, they all do their own singing and dancing.) Whatever qualms musical purists may have about director Rob Marshall's cut-cut-cut style, the film's sheer exuberance is intoxicating. Given the scarcity of big-screen musicals in the last 25 years, that's a cause for singing, dancing, cheering. And all that jazz. --Robert Horton

Jose A. Salcido (Las Cruces, NM)

 I didnt really like it October 30, 2008
Jamie Mathena (LaSalle, IL)
I just saw this movie a couple days ago. I didnt like it. I hate to say that because I love musicals and Catherine Zeta-Jones and Renee Zellweger are great actresses. Plus I'm from Chicagoland and I'm always excited to see movies from my area. It just seemed kind of long and boring to me. Like the story could have been told in a half hour rather than 2 hours. I must say I was pleasantly surprised by both of their voices, but mostly Catherine Zeta Jones. She can sing really well.

Zellweger and Zeta-Jones are ZUPER !!!! October 1, 2008
Thundering Herdsman (San Bruno, CA)
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.

Martha E. Parsons (Tigard OR USA)
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.
