Summary: As good as advertised
Review: It's bawdy, bold, sassy, funny, loud, brash, gleeful, playful, cynical, jazzy, hotcha, buzzy, crazy, sexy, fun, angry, brawly, blowzy, floozy, doozy, woozy, stylish, puckish, coltish, brutish, busty, broady and lusty. Purrfect. "Chicago" just breathes gusto. It's hard for people to get a handle on how much vavoom this movie has, how clever the adapatation is, how crafty the casting became. Renee Zellweger is a siamese cat of a discovery. Catherine Zeta-Jones busts her bustier good. Richard Gere earns his paycheck and makes a little time for some "hard workin man in showbiz" sympathy. It all works. Every scene. It works just like the musical, maybe even better. The musical may have more oomph, more pent-up momentum. It may send a better raw chill through you. But the movie has more purr. And it has Renee Zellweger, a secret weapon who cannot take your eyes off of, even if she's isn't beautiful in the classic sense. You don't have to have drop dead looks to be a diva or an A-list Hollywood actress. You just have to have moxie, and Zellweger, and this movie, has moxie to burn.

Summary: Something refreshing ! !
Review: It is nice to see a movie that isn't filled with explosions, bad language, gangs, aliens, etc. Although the first 10 minutes are slow, it quickly fires up & the movie is over before you know it ! The casting was super & it's a great change to hummmmm new tunes & practice new dance steps. I've always enjoyed the old musicals and this was wonderful to see a modern one take a chance on the big screen. Enjoy...MBN

Summary: In All Fairness
Review: ... To not make people angry I'll look at the movies good parts first. It has a relievingly dry wit and satire, the script isn't exactly shimmering but it is carried very well by Renee Zellweger, Catherine Zeta Jones (Who, of the nominees, deserved the best supporting actress Oscar), and (to an extent) Richard Gere. It provides a great portrayel of a 1920's Jazzy Chicago that is satirical and realistic (except for the part about people spontaniously breaking in song and dance). Now the bad. There are the wierd casting decisions such as Queen Latifah (who as far as I'm concerned got nominated because she was in it) and John C. Riley (who got nominated because the Academy thought "Jesus, this guy's in everything. Maybe if we give him a nomination he'll stop"). The plot can seem repetive, predictable, and all around just plain rediculous at times. But most of all what keeps this from being a favorite of mine is probably the most important element in a musical, THE MUSIC! With the exception of "All That Jazz" and "Cellblock Tango" None of the songs are very catchy at all. And the dance sequences were [filmed] in a very uncreative and confusing cinematographic decision, they take place in Zellweger's Mind. Not only that but it flashes back and forth between her imagination and reality, which is not only cheesy but also just [inexpensive] here's this, here's that trick. That kind of thing is easy to do in a movie and is much more impressive on stage. In short, a half great-half horrible cast isn't going to fuel a mediocre script with tiring musical numbers (well it has, it shouldn't though.)...

Summary: Best movie of 2003
Review: Chicago has to be the best movie musical ever made. Its not your traditional musical where people just walk down the street and burst into song, the music is all in Roxie Hart's head which makes a great movie for those who really don't like movie musicals (like myself). The only bad part is that it did not last longer. The best number in the movie has to be Cell Block Tango.
