Chicago (2002) short review

Kendra May 7, 2002
Chicago (2002)

Yet another film that EVERYONE seems to have freaked out over and I just sort of liked.  It’s a fun musical, and Renee Zellweger and Catherine Zeta-Jones are both quite good at their roles.  The costumes on the main characters were good, if 1960s-derived — really good hairdos. But what was up with all of the background/chorus dancers?  They were all straight out of 1988 with long hair (and bad perms) etc.  See it, but don’t actually base any of your knowledge about 1920s costumes on it.
