There's No Such Thing As Bad Publicity! A Young Woman Called Roxie Hart (Renée Zellweger) Dreams Of Becoming A Broadway Star And Working With Velma Kelly (Catherine Zeta-Jones). Roxie Is Married With Amos (John C. Reilly) Whilst Having An Affair With Fred Casely (Dominic West) Who Insists Roxie Can Be A BIG Star. But One Day She Finds Out All Of His Promises Were Actually Lies And Gets Really Angry. She Shot Him Dead... Soon Roxie Finds Herself Behind Bars Aside Velma Kelly Who Found Out Her Sister And Her Husband Were Having An Affair And Shot Them Both Dead Too. Mama Morton (Queen Latifah) Is The Jail's "House Mother" And Gets Velma The Best Lawyer That Will Lead Her Out Of Jail And Into Broadway Again. The Lawyer Billy Flynn (Richard Gere) Gets Velma All Of The Attention And Makes Her The Talk Of The Town And Headlines Of The Newspapers. Roxie Realises That Her Poor Story Could Get Her Fame As well Therefore, She Convinces Amos To Hire Billy Flynn For Her. Soon, Flynn Is Splashing Roxie's Story- Well To Be More Accurate, A Much More Melodramatic Version Of Her Story; And Gets Roxie All Over The Press And News. But, Velma And Roxie Are Fighting Neck To Neck To See, Who Will Get More Fame To Finally Break Free? Really Good Film! I Really Enjoyed Watching It's Story, Songs And Of Course "All That Jazz!" I Give It A 4 Out Of 5
