Chicago (2002)

My surprise

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. July 14, 2008

A most impressive display of 'Work Ethic'

Here's a musical that stands head, shoulders and beautiful, bountiful etc. above the rest.

Imagine that you get into a time-machine and get out in mid-1920's Chicago. As soon as you arrive Catherine Zeta-Jones, Renee Zellweger and Richard Gere take you aside and traumatize your senses with the most incredible display of 'Anglo-Saxon work ethic' the world has ever seen!

Within a very short period of time you are transported to a smoky paradise of song and dance that somehow manages to sound to the core the tragicomic nature of our existence... So not only is it titillating, it's poetically, intellectually _stimulating_ as well... Hmmm, Yes! That's the ticket! Okay, let's just move on... ;] July 7, 2008

Absolutely outstanding!

One of the best purchases I've ever made! The movie itself is outstanding, but if you're at all interested in the additional material, you'll love it. Worth every penny! June 27, 2008

Great!

This is one of the best movie adaptations of a musical. I love how the action is mixed into the staged songs. Catherine Zeta-Jones is excellent and I thought that John C Reilly was unexpectedly phenomenal. I have a few very masculine guy friends who resisted seeing it and thought it would be horrible--they ended up loving it, too. Fantastic! April 29, 2008
