“Captain Kirk, the approaching probe will destroy Earth if we do not respond with whale sound!” “O.K., send them some.” “The sounds will be real, but it will just be gibberish.” “Well, people watched ‘Chicago ’; what makes you think the probe is any more discerning?” The plotline by Maurine Dallas Watkins) It is a killer; it is all about the whimsical world of killing. Velma Kelly (Catherine Zeta-Jones) killed her husband and sister. Roxie Hart (Renée Zellweger) shoots her boyfriend Fred Cassely (Dominic West) dead. And a whole bevy of sleazy babes that killed their significant others. They kill a few songs. And the plot was never alive. The play may have had some redeeming social value. However, by the time it was hacked up for this movie, the only thing of value was the fast-forward button. And again, just because the movie has the appearance of a play does not give it any virtue. If you do like murder and music, then you may prefer “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street” (1982).
