This is one of those films that I will always tune in to watch if it is on TV. I highly underrated film with one of my favorite endings. The characters are great, and while it isn't a classic film, it is a great movie. Highly enjoyable.

It is no 'Moulin Rouge', however 'Chicago' is still a very entertaining film. I thought the casting/acting was great, although Richard Gere seemed a little overmatched in the singing department. The fact that the musical numbers are all in Roxie's imagination threw me off for a second but I got over it. All of the musical pieces take place (primarily) on stage, so it doesn't have the same flow as other musicals in which the actors in scene break into song. Still there were a couple of numbers that had the crown applauding, and the film kept me engaged the entire time.

Recommended for anyone who like musicals. If you don't enjoy that type of film, I don't believe that this is the movie that will convert you.

A very boring film. I think that I missed out on the delight of watching the downfall of Bob Crane because I wasn't around when it really happened. I just wasn't interested in the slightest, and never got involved. There were a couple of interesting moments, but this is a film for people who were interested in the Crane Debacle when it first happened, or people who are Schrader fans. Not recommended.
