The best musical! - Chicago Reviews

Roxie Hart (Ren?Zellweger) is having an affair with furniture salesmen Fred Casely (Dominic West) just because he says he has connections and can get her on stage. One night he tells Roxie its over and he only said he could get her on the stage just for the sex. So angry and hurt Roxie shoots him. Roxie is arrested and taken to jail where Mama Morton (Queen Latifah) says for money, she will help her out by calling Billy Flynn (Richard Gere) the best lawyer in the whole of Chicago. Roxie's loyal husband Amos Hart (John C. Reilly) pays the bill for the lawyer expenses. But Velma Kelly (Catherine Zeta-Jones) is also a client of Billys and her spotlight of "Sweetest Little Jazz Killer" has been stolen by Roxie, Velma is very jealous... This movie is one of my top ten of all time, I loved it. It had great music, humour, dancing and one of a kind acting. Richard Gere did a great job and I found his scenes the funniest. Ren?Zellweger I found to be a little dry in places but pulled it off and Catherine Zeta-Jones, what can I say? She was excellent. The music was delightful and I'm going to buy the soundtrack, The best songs where "All That Jazz" by Catherine Zeta-Jones and "Razzel-Dazzle Them" by Richard Gere. Not only was the music good but it fitting into this film perfectly and didn't spoil the story line. Although I didn't give this film a top score of 10 out of 10, due to the sex in it. I think it spoiled the film and the film could of been spared. I'm impressed though, they didn't swear to much. All in All, a must see. I plan to buy the DVD and treasure it. I love Jazz music! I love Chicago!
