The acting was mediocre, with only the charismatic Queen Latifah breaking the mold, the musical numbers were very interesting, but all the sexed up dresses and strong language takes away from what this movie is supposed to be: a lighthearted musical. Not appropriate for children under 13. Other than that, it was quite amusing and at times extremely clever.

I first saw this when i was ten!!! Loved it, even went to see it on broad way!!!!

Chicago opened up with such promise and closed with such utter failure. The first few musical numbers blew me off my feet and I was engaged in the story until the numbers got a bit old. Then the whole twisted story got old. A story bent upon women acting like criminals and men acting like jerks. I could not care less about these one-dimensional characters. The whole thing is a tease. The biggest tease? It WON Best Picture of the year over The Lord of the Rings and even Roman Polanski's WW2 drama The Pianist. A disgrace of a musical. Note to parents: The story portrays women who commit murder as darlings, not a very good message to send to all the teenage girls watching. There is only one good-hearted character in the story, but he cannot redeem the trashy message this hoax of a film seems intent on conveying.

I think Chicago was a very good movie.Sure it's a little violent and sexual but come on im 10 and i loved it.

I loved this musical, probably mostly because I loved the music. This was an excellent translation from Broadway to movie.

For something that is so inappropriate, this is one of the most well-executed musicals I have ever seen. Stage musicals never compare to movie musicals, but this is so incredibly good. Wonderful music, wonderful dancing... perfection. And to think Catherine Zeta-Jones was pregnant during the filming of this! Wow...I am proud to be a part of the same business of these ladies. THEATRE ROCKS. Such a wonderful film. It definitely deserved that Best Picture Academy Award it won. :-)

I am the type of person that always thinks the source material is always better than a movie adaptation, and this movie is no exception. Said that, I think that this is one of the finest examples of an adaptation that works perfectly. There is chemistry between the actors, they all know what they're doing and it all works well together. Yes, the move certainly is overly sexual in nature and it someway glorifies selfishness and murder, but it's all in the name of satire and entertainment. Lastly, being from New York and living two blocks from Broadway and 7th, I almost live for the theatre and I have to say that nothing compares to Bebe Newirth singing "All That Jazz" on the stage
