Review of Rent

Rent (2005)
6/10
Hmmm

I love the musical RENT but I was not impressed with the movie...If you have seen the stage version or even listened to the OBC soundtrack (I've done both) It is not the same show. The movie started off really slow and with little energy. "La Vie Boheme" had the energy it was supposed to and they did pick it up more towards the end but not throughout. I do have to say, Collins and Angel were probably my two favorite characters from the movie when Mark is my fav from the actual show. They just seem to still have that connection they did on stage. It was amazing that two straight actors could pass off a homosexual attraction. I would recommend seeing it but Rentheads...don't get your hopes up.
