Kelly’s song and dance numbers attract large audiences every night, and she is undeniably at the top of her trade. Men cannot take their eyes off of Kelly and women long to become her. Roxie Hart (Rene Zellwegger) watches Velma from the audience in the smoky Chicago joint and aches to be onstage living out dreams of ‘all that jazz.’ The confident, powerful Velma appears to be the direct opposite of the rather homely Roxie Hart, who blends into the crowd. Though obvious ly different, these two women share a com mon ground as they find themselves behind bars in prison. In a desperate attempt to score her chance on stage, Roxie sleeps with a self-proclaimed man with connections, who promises her a big break. From the fact that he is married with children to his complete lack of connections to the world of showbiz, Fred Casely’s lies are soon uncovered, driv ing Roxie into a rage. She shoots and kills him with a pistol that belongs to her hus band, Amos Hart (John C. Reilly). Velma, arrested for the murder of her hus band and sister, is rather indifferent to Roxie, brushing off her admiration. Perhaps Velma is too busy basking in every ounce of atten tion she receives from the tabloids. Roxie finally receives a small break as Mama (Queen Latifah) offers her the chance to be represented by slick Chicago lawyer Billy Flynn (Richard Gere). With his wit and ability to guiltlessly exploit his clients to his advantage, Flynn convinces the city that innocent, naive Roxie could not be a murder ess, and uses her as a moral warning to the young girls out there to avoid being wooed into the world of jazz—a world of late nights and cocktails. The tables turn for Roxie, who becomes the dame of the hour, causing Velma to take an interest in her. Just as the photogra phers quickly point their cameras at Roxie and away from Velma, a new woman rolls into the prison with three murders under her belt and steals the spotlight. Roxie and Velma are equally sly and refuse to stay in the background, which results in interesting plot twists. “Chicago” is dominated by song and dance numbers, in which Zeta-Jones simply radiates. Those years of dancing profession ally in London paid off, because it is obvious that she is more experienced in the areathau Zellwegger. Zellwegger’s job was a tough one, due not only to her inexperience with song and dance, but also to the fact that her character is not particularly likeable; she is highly self-involved and manipulative. It is Zellwegger’s precise comedic timing that makes her so enjoyable to watch. Queen Latifah is the best part of an already stellar supporting cast, specifically with her song “When You’re Good to Mama.” “Chicago” helps bring back the musical,a brave move that was first successfully attempted by “Moulin Rouge” last year. Witlt perfect casting, killer choreography, and catchy songs, “Chicago” is a breath of fresh air in film, a masterpiece for first-time direc tor Rob Marshall. —Lauren Smith tv%u a lu I l ilt iii I iuiiki Minis um I mil \V..i I. .1 u. vdw> ( .lAlk I U4 !n.Li\ «tilmt I 1»1<«4ud.:»i>|mil** iitjl'U if* VOriTOnwireless We never stop working for your An all-Texas, border to border local plan.
