Razzle Dazzle

I saw Chicago last night. It was really good, or, as the reviewer on IMDB put it: "So good, it practically jumps in your lap and dry humps you."

I'm normally not a fan of musicals (the South Park movie excluded). When I think of musicals, I think of '50s Technicolor and dubbed singing (e.g. crap like My Fair Lady ). But Chicago was different. It had so much energy that you couldn't help but just sit there and grin at the screen occasionally. And the director doesn't try to make the staging of the musical numbers plausible at all - so you can just suspend your disbelief and enjoy the ride. Chicago definitely gave me the old razzle dazzle.
