Chicago movie review

December 26, 2010 - #98/100
Chicago (2002)

Velma Kelly (Catherine Zeta-Jones) is the sexy vaudeville star who murders her husband and sister after finding them in bed together. Roxie (Renee Zellweger) is the wannabe vaudeville star who kills her lover after finding out he was never going to make her famous. Enter Billy Flynn (Richard Gere), the greasy lawyer whose goal is not only to have his clients acquitted, but to make them legal legends. Billy, who apparently likes Roxie's angle (He tried to kill me) better than Velma's (I blacked out and can't remember a thing). With help from Matron Mama Morton (Queen Latifah), both women fight for the spot as Chicago's most famed murderess, but there's only room for one legend. To be quite honest, I had no idea what this movie was going to be about. I knew that it was a musical, but I didn't know that it was based around murders. The songs were great, the dancing was great, and the acting was great. Overall, I thought that this was a very good movie.

I gave this movie 9/10 stars on imdb.com.
