It was so refreshing to see a modern day musical. The acting was superb. The movie is full of catchy tunes. The play on journalists is hilarious! It's my favorite part of the movie.
If you like musicals I highly recommend this movie. My husband and I both enjoy this movie.

Broadway Meets Academy Awards and the Golden Screen with Chicago. Many mainstream reviews started – or at least included – the word DAZZLING. That word makes sense… the combination of fine acting, excellent and experienced plot, fantastic singing and dancing makes for a ‘dazzling performance.’ Chicago was the IT movie and DVD of 2002 and certainly will have staying-power and should be a staple of any standard DVD collection.
From the Chicago DVD box: Winner of six Academy Awards including Best Picture and starring Academy Award nominee (Best Actress, Chicago) and Golden Globe winner (Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy) and Golden Globe winner (Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy, Chicago), Renee Zellweger (Bridget Jones’s Diary), Academy Award winner (Best Supporting Actress, Chicago) Catherine Zeta-Jones (Traffic), Academy Award nominee (Best Supporting Actress, Chicagao) Queen Latifah (Bringing Down the House), Golden Globe winner (Best Actor in a musical or comedy, Chicago) Richard Gere (Unfaithful) and Academy Award nominee (Best Supporting Actor, Chicago) John C. Reilly (Gangs of New York) – Chicago is a dazzling specatacle cheered by audiences and critics alike. At a time when crimes of passion result in celebrity headlines, nightclub sensation Velma Kelly (Zeta-Jones) and spotlight-seeking Roxie Hart (Zellweger) both find themselves sharing space on Chicago’s famed Murderess Row. They also share Billy Flynn (Gere), the town’s slickest lawyer with a talent for turning notorious defendants into local legends. But in Chicago, there’s only room for one legend.

BUY FROM THIS SELLER AT YOUR OWN RISKI did not receive the movie I ordered nor did I get ONE reply from the three messages I sent regarding this matter. They got my money, I got ZIP. Avoid this seller and find another dealer. Shame on them and shame on E-bay for sponsoring these crooks.

Used Chicago DVDThis has become my favorite movie as the music and dancing is terrific. Everyone in the movie could have won an academy award. It is the only movie I can watch over and over again and still look forward to watching it the next time. I guess it is simply extremely entertaining.

I absolutely loved this movie when I went to go see it in theaters, so I had to get it on DVD. The era of the 1920's is really captured in this jazzy-glitter filled movie and is only completed with its top-notch cast.

I had bought a copy at Sam Goody's first. When I got home, My son thought I had spent too much. We looked on Ebay and found several new DVDs at a much lower price. I bid on one and won. It came quickly and I was very satisfied.

good use of songsReview created: 11/13/06

1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
I bought this movie for my mom and sister. They love this movie. I like the use of the songs to show the characters' thoughts, concerns, emotions, and reasoning. There is minimal swearing, which gets in the way sometimes,(being a teacher,I believe that swearing makes you sound incompetent and unimaginative)but otherwise it helps portray the mentality of the characters. The nicer the character, the less they swear. The song and dance numbers were sensational. I especially like Catherine Zeta Jones as an actress, and willingly would watch any movie with her in it. I call her the female version of Sean Connery.
Mainly, the plot surrounds a young lady that gets dumped by her man on the side, and shoots him. Then she tries to use her trial as a ploy to get into the spotlight. She is very egocentric and selfish, yet there are times you see her worry. Every now and then things hit home with her, but she seems to quickly throw the thought aside and continue manipulating everything to get where she wants to go.
The reason I rate this good and not excellent was because the case was broken on the top clasp area. I don't remember there being any mention of it in the auction description. Oh well... buyer beware i guess.
As far as the movie, Its great. My mom and sister watched it repeatedly. It is a very good movie. If you like musicals and murder, girls in showy outfits and jail jumpsuits, all of it put to song and dance, then this is the movie for you!

All That Jazz!Review created: 09/08/06(updated 09/08/06)

I decided to purchase this DVD a long time ago, after seeing the original stage show in London, just that it took me a while to do it!
It is a moralistic story about corruption, murder and prohibtion in 1920's Chicago. It centers around three main characters, which are played by brilliant and accomplished actors. There is plenty of other interest too and the music, if you like jazz, is superb, the costumes are also excellent and true to the period.
The DVD is very true to the stageshow, but there is slightly more depth on the DVD, which I suppose would be too difficult to reproduce on stage. I am very glad thatI bought this DVD and it is something that I could watch several times.
Buy it you will love it too!

I saw the stage performance of Chicago so wanted to check out the DVD to compare. Not being big really on musicals, I did enjoy both versions of Chicago.

I've always been an adamant fan of musicals, and Chicago happens to be one of my favorites. Unfortunately, the vast majority of directors will take a fantastic musical and turn into a steaming lump of crap when they create a movie version. However, Chicago was able to shy away from this trend and join the likes of The Phantom of the Opera and The Music Man (the original, not the Matthew Broderick version) as an all-time classic.
