[@Autumn1608]

Kemi : 'She killed her husband over gum, she's a crazy lady!" 30 seconds later " They had it coming!!!!" I laughed so hard lol. Great reaction as always :)

[@ScenecrlyK.S.O.]

HAHAHAHHAAAA

[@seansilence2697]

Listen, a banger is a banger xD

[@Kazeneko]

That is my favorite in the whole movie. It's so demented and fun. I also laughed with glee when she started singing along!

[@cinemeleon2808]

SAME!!! I caught that too. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@vandergrad]

The power of music and a hot dance number!!

[@emilysmith259]

In this role, Queen Latifah proved she is queen for a reason! She was such a natural in her musical performance "When You're Good to Mama.." she did the whole thing in one take! All Hail the Queen!

[@ithinkimaybenuts]

And she was nominated for an Oscar for it! Losing (rightfully) to Catherine Zeta-Jones.

[@mistybenefield5796]

In a whole film full of spectacular numbers, she was extraordinary. Her charisma is off the charts no matter what she's wearing, but when you added that costume? Holy hell. It doesn't get better than that.

[@lindala2602]

​@@mistybenefield5796 she looked so good in that dress

[@shainewhite2781]

Winner of 6 Oscars including Best Picture

[@brash_and_sassy]

5:51 omg. Your laughter is NOT ridiculous! It’s so infectious. You’re reaction is already bringing me soooo much joy. Chicago is one of, if not THE, best movie musicals of all time and I will die on that hill.

[@ScenecrlyK.S.O.]

Thank you Hun ❤️❤️❤️

[@ruthfoley2580]

Have you seen the stage show choreographed by Bob Fosse? It's brilliant.

[@doctor-aesthetic]

I always sort of tie it with Sound of Music and Fiddler on the Roof. Just incredible screen adaptations.

[@luvsumkahlua7730]

CABARET Is The Best, Seeing Two Worlds at Once... Chicago is the View that We See or Others Perceive!!!

[@Viscount1881]

Catherine Zeta-Jones was actually pregnant during the making of this movie, which makes her skill all the more impressive. And to be fair to Renee Zellweger, I always took her more awkward, less skilled dancing and singing to be a part of the character; after all, talent isn't always a necessary ingredient in becoming a star, Roxie has her notoriety instead.

[@hectorsmommy1717]

She was NOT pregnant while filming. That is an urban legend that will not die. She was pregnant with Carys when she accepted the Oscar in April 2003. Filming took place Dec 10, 2001 - May 2002. She got pregnant a couple of months AFTER they filmed.

[@KCohere33]

It says on IMDB that she was a few months pregnant and used body doubles when she started to show. That’s not true?

[@kathyastrom1315]

Fun fact-John C. Reilly, who plays Amos, was in three Best Picture Oscar nominees that year, tying the record held by Thomas Mitchell from 1939.

[@LordVolkov]

His performance of Mister Cellophane is incredible.

[@luvsumkahlua7730]

He is an actual Trained Singer, Dancer & Performer, since Childhood!

[@pamelahofman1785]

Catherine Zeta Jones is a professional dancer. She’s been dancing since she was a child, that’s why she looks so natural at it while Renée Zellweger had to learn for the movie.

[@joeslater2390]

Learn something new everyday, thanks

[@jackiecarson859]

For someone who learned for the role, Renee was amazing. Keep in mind...Debbie Reynolds was also not trained as a dancer, and was put through rigorous training for her role in 'Singing In The Rain'. Many artists have had to do tons for such pivotal roles. Renee was Roxie all the way.

[@MrTbk1701]

And if I remember correctly Catherine was also pregnant during filming.

[@ithinkimaybenuts]

And they originally wanted Catherine to have long hair, but she insisted on a bob so no one would question if she was doing her own dancing!

[@pamelahofman1785]

@@ithinkimaybenuts Also, the bob was popular at the time the show takes place while long hair was definitely out.

[@michelles9235]

Cellblock tango is my favorite song. When my sister and I went to see this movie we sang this for months, even now I will randomly call her and start singing parts and she will finish the lines. 🤣🤣This movie is the best I love this just as much as I love Hairspray.

[@seansilence2697]

My favorite musical of all time

[@frederickseltzerjr2170]

Fun facts - this movie won 6 Academy Awards, including Best Picture becoming only the 2nd musical to win to biggest prize ("Oliver" won Best Picture in 1968) Catherine Zeta-Jones, who won Best Supporting Actress for her role as Velma but for me made her win so much more was that her dancing so much more was she was pregnant filming this movie. Renee Zellweger was nominated for Best Actress, John C. Reilly was nominated for Best Supporting Actor & Queen Latifah also was nominated for Best Supporting Actress. One award it definitely deserve was Best Costume Design. Renee beat out Jennifer Aniston for the role of Roxie & Richard Gere accepted the role after John Travolta turned down the role of Billy Flynn. There was a cameo in the movie a prostitute named Nickie and was played by Chita Rivera, who originated the role of Velma Kelly when Chicago debut on Broadway in 1975. To be fair in "Cell Block Tango," the first murderer did warn Ernie that if he popped that gum one more time ... and like a guy, he did and had to pay the price. But my favorite is "he ran into my knife ... he ran into my life TEN TIMES!"

[@candicelitrenta8890]

Katherine is a professional dancer where as Rene is an actress, not so much the musical kind. But she fits the look of the real Roxie Hart from the history book. And I think she in this as the character is more of a wannabe performer rather than one who was trained in it. By the way, you really need to check out Bridget Jones Diary with Renee. She got an academy award nomination for it and it is hysterical. She really can act and has won an award for a different film.

[@MsAliciaRL]

Your reaction to "When You're Good to Mama" is the entire reason why I love reaction channels! I feel like I'm watching the movie for the first time, all over again!

[@terriertz5134]

This movie will always hold a special place in my heart. My Dad always loved musical theater. In 2005, I found the Chicago DVD for sale & bought it for him during the summer. I knew he'd love the movie & I planned to give it to him for Christmas, but unfortunately he passed away unexpectedly in September. Now every year on my Dad's birthday, I watch Chicago to remember him. RIP Dad. 😭

[@a.n.9800]

Your read on the characters is really intriguing. I also think it’s cool that you guessed the actress had been pregnant just from how she held her shoulders XD I never would’ve thought to look for that

[@citizenerased1439]

I adore Chicago! Every song is amazing, and the movie adaptation is so great. I wish more reactors would watch this one. I loved your reaction! So glad you enjoyed it! (And I couldn’t help but laugh near the beginning when you were like “You think you’re going to murder someone and get off scot free?” 😅😂)

[@melissaisloud7404]

Girl, watching this … you totally understood the assignment! So glad you had so much fun with this. As for it being THE HUNGER GAMES, Peeta is actually the Billy Flynne of Panem. He plays all of those Capital dummies.

[@edwardthorne9875]

This one has got to be one of the best reactions I've ever seen. Such a great movie - Music, dance, story, meaningful lessons. I had forgotten all about it, and here we are. Richard Gere actually did that tap dancing (or at least in the full body shots.) The companion to this is the movie 'All That Jazz', about the amazing talent of Bob Fosse, and the price he paid with his success. Possibly the best movie musical ever made.

[@LordVolkov]

I love your enjoyment of Cell Block Tango Kemi. The Ballerina's verse is so heartbreaking even if you don't know what she's saying, even moreso knowing her eventual fate 😢

[@jacklegend5798]

Her reaction to Matron Mama Morton's numbers was the same as mine: a woman after my own heart.

[@SueSnellLives]

It is such a joy to watch you react to films and you pick such great films! Thank you! (And yes, that Queen Latifah number is one of the best things in the film and just one of the best things ever!)

[@kevinlechuga_]

So happy you watched his! Chicago is truly one of the greatest movie musicals of all time and there's almost no reactions to it on KZbin.

[@bobblebardsley]

A few people have mentioned that the main characters are based on real people - so is the Hungarian ballerina, who was inspired by the story of Sabella Nitti (who was Italian irl). I won't spoil any of the details but it's well worth a quick google search for anyone who'd like to know more about that part of the movie/musical.

[@cinemeleon2808]

A certified Rob Marshall production!! He is such a film badass. He also directed Memoirs of a Geisha and the 2023 Little Mermaid starring Halle Bailey.

[@hilarywilkes7853]

I got to meet the dancer/actress in The Cell Block Tango whose husband ran into her knife ten times lol. Took a dance workshop with her, she was amazing and kind!❤

[@reckonbae]

Oh my gosh! I hoped you'd watch this! I literally just watched it for the 10 million-th time ❤

[@johnmoreland6089]

What a super fun reaction to this terrific film! It was delightful to see your reaction. And so keen and insightful, too. Chicago is such a wonderful piece and they did an incredible job bringing it to the screen.

[@lisataveras8031]

Your pure joy is so fun to watch...what a great reaction...and never apologize for your giggles, they MAKE your reactions....i just lose it whenever you get tickled..lol

[@candicelitrenta8890]

This musical is actually based upon an actual story back in the 30's in Chicago

[@Patrick-xv6qv]

Several stories. The musical was based on a 1926 play written by a court house reporter. She based her play on true stories and trials she reported on.

[@oliverbrownlow5615]

The original play was also called *Chicago,* but it was previously filmed in a non-musical version called *Roxie Hart* (1942), starring Ginger Rogers (who, ironically, was a great musical comedy star, most famously the dance partner of Fred Astaire in a number of movies).

[@hectorsmommy1717]

There is an excellent book published in 2010 called "The Girls of Murder City: Fame, Lust, and the Beautiful Killers who Inspired Chicago" by Douglas Perry. He goes into several of the stories, including the woman who inspired the Hungarian woman. She was found guilty and sentenced to hang because she couldn't get anyone to represent her and the press condemned her right away . . . all because she could not speak English, was not beautiful and did not dress well. The two women who inspired Velma and Roxie gave her a makeover and loaned her clothes for her appeal and she was granted a new trial where the charges were dropped.

[@amandagrubbs3000]

I would watch this every time I’d go to my babysitters house when I was little. I’d love the music when I was a kid. As I got older my babysitter gave me the soundtrack

[@beckymellon8135]

❤ you’ll never stop singing some of these songs!!!🔥🔥🔥

[@lansorbet5882]

The only innocent person was hanged.

[@Moonbeamchild8]

Love how good you are with symbolism. Hardly anybody talks about that in this movie but it was a big part of it for me.

[@bobblebardsley]

This whole video is such a gift, I love that you paused and gave full song reactions to some of the biggest performances, in amongst the movie reaction. I really needed this today 😙😙

[@emilyspitsberg7151]

Your reaction to Queen Latifahs "When You're Good To Mama" is correct! All the songs are so good!

[@greenpeasuit]

I don't think you have done "Moulin Rouge" yet. I hope a patron requests it eventually. Another great musical.

[@thesolitarysoul311]

I absolutely adore this movie, can't wait to see what you thought!

[@violacadbury8343]

I remember taking my mom to see the actual Broadway show. It was the last one that I saw before the plague and the lockdowns.

[@maximillianosaben]

Gosh darn if this ain't one catchy soundtrack.

[@bonniebarlow4939]

This is one of my favorite musicals - and I've seen lots of them! Glad you loved it and enjoyed your laughing and reactions of shock.

[@jessm.porthos]

Lol. I think that song was meant to tickle people. Don’t apologize for your amazing laugh and enjoyment ❤❤

[@terrylewis_]

I love the musical Chicago, I love the movie - I think they did a great job with it. The characters themselves are all horrible people though, obsessed with money, fame etc. except for Amos. And that is why he is my favorite. :) I adore John C. Reilly's performance in this. I'd love to see you react to Evita!

[@Y_.R]

This is such a wonderful movie! I’ve watched it many times. You’ll never get those songs out of your head!

[@Angelicwings1]

Fun fact… Catherine Zeta Jones was pregnant when they made this film. She did the splits while pregnant. Catherine filled out cause she was with child

[@ScenecrlyK.S.O.]

WOOOW - I LOVE HER EVEN MORE NOW

[@jeffersonrovettamachado6550]

Love This Musical. And Your Analize Is Great, And So True. One Of The Best Musicals Ever Create. Funny Fact... I Used To Sings Roxy Song Like This (The Name On Everybody Lips Is Gonna Be ... Jeff)...😅😂😂😂 Love Your Reaction 💛💛

[@moramorandobianchi7093]

hahaha loved this reaction!

[@agenttheater5]

Here's the thing about Roxie and Velma. They're not nice people. They never were. Roxie knew how to put on a sweet act but she was never a nice person. Velma was just always like that. But they come out on top, because somehow or other they just do, we never have to worry about what happens to them next, they'll be fine. The story acts like they're the heroes but the story knows they're not.

[@bsboy773]

I LOVE this musical and movie and I'm so happy to see you enjoy it just as much! Queen Latifah was an absolute hit here! I will say, that I attribute Roxie's awkwardness more to the character than the actress (Renee Zelwegger) mostly because she's supposed to be a woman who dreams of being a star but was only ever a chorus girl for some time. So she really wouldn't have any talent aside from singing. Just my 2 cents tho!

[@HuntingViolets]

Catherine Zeta-Jones was in musical theatre, singing and dancing, whereas Renee Zellweger had to learn it for the movie, so she had much less experience.

[@DeidreL9]

I loved this film! It was a joy to see Catherine Zeta Jones given the right material to show how amazing she is. Richard Gere isn’t exactly Fred Astaire but he was pretty entertaining! I loved your reaction! Bless you Kemi xxx❤️❤️❤️

[@user-xr5kp6qz8g]

The casting in this is top notch! One of the best movie musical casts ever. Queen Latifah as Mama Morton is ICONIC, Katherine Zeta Jones is a whole vibe, Renée Zellweger is amazing as Roxie, Richard Geere as the lawyer is spot on for him, Christine Baranski is always a pleasure

[@WolfHreda]

Chicago is easily in my top three musicals ever.

[@megdelaney3677]

He had it coming!!!

[@danablackford1319]

You are spot on with the dance and singing abilities of both Catherine and Rene. Catherine is a professional dancer and so is her character Velma Kelly. Rene had to learn how to dance and sing but her character Roxy Hart is also new at performing. So in that context they both did well. But I also agree that when you see such a seasoned dancer it is difficult to not compare the two performances. If I remember correctly Catherine was pregnant during the filming which is why she looked more voluptuous.

[@yournamehere6002]

I think all the leads were stellar.

[@EasyGreen.]

I'm usually not a big fan of musicals, but this movie is a rare exception. I like that each song is its own cabaret performance, unlike other musicals where there's no dialog - just nonstop singing. I love this time period, acting/singing is top tier, Queen Latifah stole the show, Catherine deserved all the awards. Favorite movie. Your reaction, as always, didn't disappoint. Thank you for this video and for reminding me how great this film is. ♥

[@jp3813]

So you didn't like the Disney Renaissance (Lion King, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, etc...) growing up?

[@Ottawajames]

Queen Latifah had the best costume and best song in the movie.... That boustier my goodness.... they say that life is tit for tat and that's the way she lives so she deserves a lot of tat for what she's got to give!

[@agenttheater5]

They gave Roxie more of a reason for killing Fred Casely in this movie - originally in the stage show it was just a case of: "So it's over, is it Fred?" "Yeah" "Oh Fred.....no guy walks away from me!" BANG! BANG! BANG! ".....Oops...."/"...Ooohhhh.....oh I gotta pee!"

[@tionak]

If you love Queen Latifah in this, you’ll LOVE Hairspray!

[@RaphaelGama]

I love how you related this amazing movie with life on social media, I recently directed this play with my students and was all about the greed of fame, been on the news and fake news to feed media.

[@aimeerisch4059]

One of my favorite musicals. Remember, some of these actors have musical theater experience. Renee is not one

[@robsambosky6444]

GREETINGS EARTH WOMAN: There have been three movies based on this story. The first one was in the late 20s as I recall, the second was in the 40s with Ginger Rogers and then of course there's this one.

[@cindyknouff1724]

What a wonderful reaction to this movie! You're always delightful to watch, but this was extra special. In a very different kind of role, Renee Zellweger plays Beatrix Potter in the film 'Miss Potter'. It was no blockbuster, but it's also a wonderful story about the woman who wrote and illustrated the children's book Peter Rabbit, ect. I think your tender heart would enjoy this tale. Again, wonderful reaction to one of my favorite musicals.

[@MsMelyjean]

"When You're Good to Mama", "Cell Block Tango", "All That Jazz", and "Razzle Dazzle" are my favorites. (Honorable mention to "Mr. Cellophane") BTW, never apologize for your laugh. It is infectious and delightful.

[@DadInTaiwan]

I was really hoping I could watch this live with you, but it was just too early for my time zone. That said, I enjoyed your reaction very much!

[@bookwoman53]

My favorite song is the Cell Block Tango.

[@AndyMmusic]

I think Roxie not dancing well for most of the movie is part of her character, because she wasn't a performer but she wanted to be.

[@ajayjackson7727]

Great reaction Kemi, you always make your movie reactions Interesting and fun 🐝💛

[@ScenecrlyK.S.O.]

Tank you Sweets ❤️❤️

[@bettybaby63]

“He had it coming” is so good…so creative & talented cast. Katherine Zeta Jones is 3 or 4 mos pregnant during the filming of this movie. The ladies are all. 🔥🔥

[@jenniferrodgers57]

Chicago made me love musicals all over again. 💯 One of the best ever made, right up there with the classics!

[@JameyMeske]

literally the first person to react to my FAVORITE movie. THANK YOU!!❤

[@emarjamaa2276]

If I remember correctly, the ballerina is the only one who is actually innocent.

[@Hey_Jamie]

Wait how did I miss this when it dropped?!

[@candicelitrenta8890]

Before the movie came out I was able to see a local production live of this musical

The innocent woman hanged.

[@lailaagrado]

Very widely unknown fact but the book then musical and then movie all were based on two famous murderesses in the 20's of 20 century. Both got free from jail due to media. One of them died afterwards due to TB at age 28 and the other died in her 80ies.

[@oatz00]

This brings me joy

The lady that was hanged was innocent, the light for her was white. The other women had red lights and scarves.

[@robertyeah2259]

I agree that Renèe Zellweger isn’t very musically inclined but I really think it works for her character because just like Richard Gere’s character says, she’s a phony celebrity.

[@Angelicwings1]

I was curious what you would think of this as a person who is an epic law woman… I was not disappointed

[@enolamsamoht]

Now you should see the much better Broadway show that this movie is based on,
