Chicago stars Renee Zellweger as Roxie Hart. Roxie, wife of sweet, boring Amos Hart (John C. Reilly), has an affair with furniture salesman Fred Casely (Dominic West) who she thinks knows the right people to get her a gig as a singer at a swanky nightclub. But when Roxie finds out that Fred is just using her, she shoots him dead right there in her bedroom. When Amos returns home, he sticks up for Roxie, telling the police that he shot the intruder. At least, until he finds out that the dead man is Fred Casley, the man who recently sold them their furniture. Retracting his story, the police arrest Roxie for Fred Casely's murder.
Amos And Andy Dvd Set
Meanwhile, sexy songstress and half of a renowned Chicago nightclub sister act, Velma Kelly (Catherine Zeta-Jones), sits in jail herself awaiting the day of her trial for the murder of her husband and sister who she caught performing their renowned number "the spread eagle". Roxie asks Velma for help, but gets the cold shoulder. But at least one someone in the prison is willing to help Roxie. Matron "Mama" Morton (Queen Latifah), overseer of the woman's prison, will do whatever for whatever for the right price. For fifty bucks, she places a phone call to the most defense lawyer in modern-day times, Billy Flynn (Richard Gere). But a phone call only gets her in the door. Roxie's husband Amos must come up with the money to pay Billy, which he does prior to his being fast forgotten...
Manipulating the media to the best of his ability, Billy turns Roxie into an overnight celebrity - the hottest sensation to sweep Chicago since, well - since the next one that will come along. Velma Kelly fades from the headlines, and the two rivals compete with each other for the public's and Billy Flynn's attention...
Chicago is a refreshing escape from the drudgery of contemporary day box office blockbusters with its insightful peering into the mob mentality of the collective psyche and its colorful characters. Queen Latifah steals the show with her portrayal of Mama Morton in a film packed with knockout performances by Hollywood mainstays. All of the stars sing their own numbers, and the soundtrack is naturally spectacular. Broadway purists may be indispensable of the final product, but no one can doubt that Chicago is as big a hit on screen as it is on stage. Do yourself a favor and don't overlook it...
