What makes this more than a film of a great stage show is the way that the action spills seamlessly from the stage sets into real life. Magic.February 12, 2014
With performers as good as these and the freshness of Bill Condon's screenplay and Marshall's direction, there's really very little wrong with Chicago. What it lacks is something intangible -- heat.February 12, 2014
Rob Marshall's screen version of the near-venerable show looks great, in its razzly-dazzly neo-Fosse way, and sounds good, especially when Renee Zellweger's gorgeous Roxie Hart is singing her heart out.February 25, 2015
Chicago is sexy, sordid and sensational, the Windy City's biggest hit since the St. Valentine's Day Massacre.February 24, 2013
The net effect of the incessant dazzle is depressing.February 25, 2015
Marshall and company have given the old genre a swift, vigorous kick in the pants. Chicago is one movie that won't let us down; it's our kind of town.February 25, 2015
You know you have just witnessed a good musical when you leave the theatre or cinema with one, or more, of its songs still ringing in your head.... But after seeing Chicago, I did not whistle or tap my way home.February 25, 2015
As a reproduction of the stage show, Chicago isn't bad, but it makes no persuasive case for itself as a film.February 25, 2015
Whatever one's qualms about the material, its execution here is rock solid in ways that keep on impressing, right through to the niftiest end credits sequence in years.February 25, 2015
Bawdy, funny and exhilarating, Chicago is great entertainment.February 12, 2014
As sentimental as a plywood casket, Chicago has satirical bite and a mean wit that somehow never obscures its characters' unlikely likability.February 24, 2013
The song-and-dance numbers are calisthenic but unspectacular, with too much fast cutting, and the tone throughout is harmlessly facetious.
