Movie Haiku:Candidate for best movie musical ever made. All crucial information about both plot & character is artfully revealed in the music, eliminating those typically annoying narrative segues. It’s fast & fun, sweeping the audience into its “razzle-dazzle” hall of mirrors. Who knew Zellweger was born to play foxie Roxie Hart?!?
