I dont know much about the movie. But I watched enough specials on it to know my way around, .

The musical parts take place in the main characters head (the blonde one - Im not gonna spell her name.. haha). Its a murder story pretty much, based on fact - but fictionalized. The girls are made more as stand-up-for-the-rights women and not crazy-lunatic women that they are based on. Instead of mass murderers, they are heroines. Strange - but I have yet too see it, if I do. But it looks awesome. And very much so much congrats to Catherine Zeta-Jones, I've always thought she was pretty.

Gere is the lawyer for the blond.. Zellewger.. or something (haha - im a terrible speller.. haha.. im sorry..).

Thats pretty much all I know. Well Catherine and the musical person (Queen Latefia.. or something - haha.. again, im sorry) are jailmates with Zellewger.. (oh dear).

I probably just made you more confused - ah well... Looks awesome though.
