Roxy Surf Now DVD

Advantages: The songs
Disadvantages: Not for non musical lovers

...have. But when an unlikely benefactor pays for his services Roxy finds herself vying for the arrogant lawyer’s attention. He’s good and he knows it. He even has the nerve to boast that if "Jesus Christ was alive in Chicago today and had $5,000 things might have been different". And Roxie’s not his only client in Cook County Jail. Fresh from her money making days as a Vaudeville vixen Velma Kelly has also managed to produce Billy’s fee and isn’t happy that now Roxie is on the scene Flynn seems more concerned with making Roxie a local legend than working on tactics to secure her own freedom. While Roxie’s column inches are increasing faster than the meter in a taxi cab Velma is fast fading into obscurity and consequently does her best to make Roxie’s life a misery. But Billy’s doing his job... Read review

I first saw it with my boyfriend; ladies, do not go and see this film with a fella! He thought it was ‘all right’, while I loved it! In fairness to him he did have to put up with me pretending to be Catherine Zeta-Jones in the car on the way home, but that’s no excuse.
