CHICAGO

Starring: Renee Zellweger, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Richard Gere, Queen Latifah, John C. Reilly

Chicago is a definite must-see, IF you can tolerate musicals. If you can't, you had better look elsewhere. It reminded me a lot of Cabaret, with the same kind of stage setup and musical vibe. I admit I was surprised to hear how good Renee Zellweger sounded when she belted out the songs. Not to leave the other stars without praise, Catherine Zeta Jones and Richard Gere also impressed, and I never thought during the movie that they sucked. The character I liked the most was Queen Latifah's though, and her introductory song, "If You're Good to Mama", was excellent. I think if you're interested in a good story and interesting stagings of good songs, you'll enjoy the movie. It didn't win all those Golden Globes for nothing.
