What a sexy movie! Full of sex appeal, wonderful singing, spotlights and murder. We get to see Zeta-Jones, Zellweger, John C. Reilly, Richard Gere and Queen Latifah dance around and sing in this film-noir/comedy/musical.
Roxie Hart [Renée Zellweger] just wants to be a star, to be able to sing in front of an audience and for them to love her. She’s fooling around behind her husband and gets smacked around a bit and is told she’ll never make it in “the business” but she won’t take it. She ends up in death row, alongside Velma Kelly [Catherine Zeta-Jones] who she’s a huge fan of. Kelly is a famous singer who killed her husband and sister after catching them together. Kelly is trying to smooth her way out of jail with the help of the deathrow ring leader and a very famous lawyer. Roxie’s a sweetheart and it doesn’t seem like she’ll last long in these waters but she grabs hold of Kelly’s lawyer and things start looking up.
Roxie is very imaginative; she keeps her head in the clouds, imagining how things would be glamoured up and with everyone singing their song. She gets her taste of fame but it doesn’t last long, trouble is always stirring up in these Chicago streets and no one’s name stays on the headlines for long.
