-Renee
Zellweger
-Catherine
Zeta
Jones
-Richard
Gere
This
Hollywood
adaptation
of
the
classic
Broadway
musical
sparkles
with
glamour
and
reverberates
with
the
energy
of
good,
old-fashioned
song
and
dance.
As
the
film
leaps
into
its
first
riveting
act,
Velma
Kelly
(Catherine
Zeta-Jones),
one
half
of
the
famous
number
she
performs
with
her
sister,
arrives
at
the
night
club
late,
disheveled,
and
with
blood
on
her
hands.
Nonetheless,
she
goes
onstage
unhindered
and
wows
the
crowd
with
her
shimmying
rendition
of
"All
That
Jazz."
Roxie
Hart
(Renee
Zellweger)
a
young
blond
who
dreams
of
someday
being
famous
like
Velma,
watches
from
the
audience
with
eyes
full
of
envy.
Later,
as
the
cops
pick
up
Velma
for
the
murder
of
her
sister,
sending
her
fame
to
all-time
heights
as
she
becomes
a
tabloid
sensation,
Roxie
also
commits
a
crime
of
passion--shooting
a
lover
who
falsely
promised
to
secure
her
cabaret
debut.
The
girls
wind
up
together
in
jail,
where
Mama
Morton
(Queen
Latifah),
a
compassionate
guard,
is
their
only
hope
of
redemption;
and
Billy
Flynn
(Richard
Gere)
is
the
lawyer
who
can
get
them
out.
There,
through
wonderfully
familiar
songs
like
"Razzle
Dazzle,"
"Cell-Block
Tango,"
and
"Cellophane
Man"
Roxie
and
Velma
tell
their
story
of
competing
for
bad-girl
celebrity.
Director
Rob
Marshall
presents
a
loveable
CHICAGO
that
shares
all
the
grit
and
grime
of
the
Bob
Fosse
Broadway
original
with
phenomenal
performances
by
this
grouping
of
Hollywood
stars.
The
dizzying
camerawork
and
dazzling
sets
make
an
easy
transition
from
stage
to
film.

PG-13
