BIG SCREEN BETTERS STAGE
By a customer from Gypsy Hill , 07 Nov 2003[Highly rated reviewer]
Chicago is a near perfect example of crossover when it works. Chicago on stage is thin on story and settings, almost cabaret. But in the hands of Bill Condon, screenwriter, the problems of crossover are met head on and dealt with neatly. Rythm is all as both picture and story are cut to the beat. By this simple device we are propelled through The Windy City's 1920's heyday and the headline grabbing sories of death row murderesses, Zellweiger, Zeta Jones. Any plot shorcommnigs vanish in the sheer razzle dazzle of it all. Richard Gere as Billy the showman Lawyer, no stranger to charm, hoofs and sings and aquits himself well along with his clients on death row. This is a film where pace was clearly at the top of the creative teams list and it is this cracking pace, along with the blistering original score by Cander & Ebb which keeps our toes tapping throughout and sends us out whistling the tunes. By no means a film only for Musical lovers but deffo for MUSIC lovers...- Was this review helpful to you?

A top entertaining Musical
By riskysmith (102 reviews) , 14 Nov 2012[Highly rated reviewer]
In view of all the other reviews I do not see that one more will make very much difference, but I usually get an e. mail asking for my view so here goes. This is an excellent musical with some well known tunes and the cast in the film give it their all. As I already have a dvd of it I was interested to see if blu ray added to the viewing. It does but I am not sure that the difference is worth a replacement. Well worth renting if you have not seen it.- Was this review helpful to you?
