The original musical's sensitivity and emotions are lost during this overlong transition from stage to screen.

The music is done well, but I didn't find much to like about the story.

"Rent" was truly better live [I've seen it twice, yeah, no big deal], but this film version manages to capture the omnipresence of love that is felt when seen live. Jonathan Larson wrote this play as an homage to "La Boheme" and died the night before it opened. However, the point of this film is that there is love all around us, we just have to find it. A truly inspiring film, and shame on all of you people who walked out of this movie. Get over yourselves!!!

This was quite good for a musical. So, I can't really get to excited over movies when out of nowhere people just break into sing and dance randomly, but this was quite enjoyable. I think that when that drag queen died, they could have made it a bit sadder and more dramatic, but oh well. A great movie if you love musicals.

Having seen the stage version, the film can't quite capture the same magic. I do applaud Chris Columbus on his decision to cast the original actors in their roles - they work together well. The music is still great and the story is too.
