Bob Fosse's sexy cynicism still shines in Chicago, a faithful movie adaptation of the choreographer-director's 1975 Broadway musical. Of course the story, all about merry murderesses and tabloid fame, is set in the Roaring '20s, but Chicago reeks of '70s disenchantment--this isn't just Fosse's material, it's his attitude, too. That's probably why the movie's breathless observations on fleeting fame and fickle public taste already seem dated. However, Renée Zellweger and Catherine Zeta-Jones are beautifully matched as Jazz Age vixens, and Richard Gere gleefully sheds his customary cool to belt out a showstopper. (Yes, they all do their own singing and dancing.) Whatever qualms musical purists may have about director Rob Marshall's cut-cut-cut style, the film's sheer exuberance is intoxicating. Given the scarcity of big-screen musicals in the last 25 years, that's a cause for singing, dancing, cheering. And all that jazz. --Robert Horton

Nat (Ashburn, Virginia)
All the world really is a stage with Renée Zellweger's portrayal of an aspiring nightclub singer trying to beat a murder rap. The climax spawns an unnecessary subplot, but good Jazz-Age numbers as metaphors for her predicament, plus solid acting make for a film any Roaring 20's buff would want to see.

This was a poor take-off or imitation of ALL THAT JAZZ. The actors and actresses were great but it did not meet the standards and brilliance of ALL THAT JAZZ.
