A starry-eyed would-be star discovers just how far the notion that "there's no such thing as bad publicity" can go in this screen adaptation of the hit Broadway musical Chicago, originally directed and choreographed by Bob Fosse. In the mid-'20s, Roxie Hart (Renee Zellweger) is a small-time chorus dancer married to a well-meaning dunderhead named Amos (John C. Reilly). Roxie is having an affair on the side with Fred Casley (Dominic West), a smooth talker who insists he can make her a star. However, Fred strings Roxie along a bit too far for his own good, and when she realizes that his promises are empty, she becomes enraged and murders Fred in cold blood. Roxie soon finds herself behind bars alongside Velma Kelly (Catherine Zeta-Jones), a sexy vaudeville star who used to perform with her sister until Velma discovered that her sister had been sleeping with her husband. Velma shot them both dead, and, after scheming prison matron "Mama" Morton hooks Velma up with hotshot lawyer Billy Flynn (Richard Gere), Velma becomes the new Queen of the scandal sheets. Roxie is just shrewd enough to realize that her poor fortune could also bring her fame, so she convinces Amos to also hire Flynn. Soon Flynn is splashing Roxie's story -- or, more accurately, a highly melodramatic revision of Roxie's story -- all over the gutter press, and Roxy and Velma are soon battling neck-to-neck over who can win greater fame through the headlines. A project that had been moving from studio to studio since the musical opened on Broadway in 1973, Chicago also features guest appearances by Lucy Liu and Christine Baranski. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Review For Chicago

The net effect of the incessant dazzle is depressing.
Stanley Kauffmann-The New Republic

The song-and-dance numbers are calisthenic but unspectacular, with too much fast cutting, and the tone throughout is harmlessly facetious.
Peter Rainer-New York Magazine

The film has punch, but it never really conveys the delicious, redeeming sense that life can be lived on the hoof.
Anthony Lane-New Yorker

Chicago has so much razzle-dazzle that viewers may end up both raised and dazed. It's remorselessly inventive, trying anything fast and sassy to keep you watching.
Richard Corliss-TIME Magazine

This Oscar-laden movie rendition, directed by Rob Marshall, suffers from the kind of ants-in-your-pants MTV editing that prevents you from simply watching and enjoying the musical numbers.
Jonathan Rosenbaum-Chicago Reader

Marshall betrays the dancing by never letting us see it properly.
Geoff Andrew-Time Out

Chicago is a great movie musical.
Steve Vineberg-Boston Phoenix

Considering that none of the three leads is a pro singer or dancer, Chicago is surprisingly a brassy, enjoyable movie musical, with at least a couple of risque production numbers.
Emanuel Levy-EmanuelLevy.Com

Oscar-winning satire all about the razzle-dazzle.
Nell Minow-Common Sense Media

Chicago is a stunning show stopper, a seamless integration of toe-tapping tunes, riveting routines in the wicked and wonderful seedy side of the swing city.
Urban Cinefile Critics-Urban Cinefile

Good, easygoing, sometimes inspired entertainment.
Demetrios Matheou-Film4

Here, finally, is a movie musical made by people who know what they're doing.
Rob Gonsalves-eFilmCritic.com

Each musical number builds to such a frantic climax that the audience is nearly moved to applaud the actors on screen.
Joe Lozito-Big Picture Big Sound

A shallow work without a true moral framework, it sees the world as a posturing showbusiness arena, a stage for celebrities to briefly strut their stuff and go on their way.
Philip French-Guardian [UK]

Choreographer Rob Marshall makes his feature debut, toning town the Fosse-ness and keeping things snappy.
Jeffrey M. Anderson-Combustible Celluloid

a wildly cynical and sardonic piece, yet hysterical in its own right - about as unlike Seven Brides for Seven Brothers as you can get
Kevin Carr-7M Pictures

I really enjoyed Chicago during its theatrical run, and now that I've seen it twice more on DVD, the thing's fast becoming a personal favorite.
Scott Weinberg-DVDTalk.com

The energy of the performances and John Kander and Fred Ebb's enduring score push the musical scenes and the entire film over any hurdle -- yes, even including that misbegotten casting of Gere.
Michael Dequina-Film Threat

Chicago is every bit as good as advertised.
Jason Zingale-Bullz-Eye.com

Chicago has been brought to the screen by first-time movie director Rob Marshall, who has shot it like one of those commercials for Broadway musicals, the ones that run on the late news in New York City.
Stuart Klawans-The Nation
