Just want to make a quick point that I'm incredibly jealous of anyone who has seen Rent on broadway. I'm really hoping to see it sometime.
I thought the movie was incredible, definitely one of my favorites. I thought it was incredibly well done, the music was great and the acting was awesome. To have most of the original cast probably added to it not that I have any kind of opinion of what it was like on Broadway. I was a little skeptical of Rosario Dawson as Mimi, but wow she was fantastic.
I've heard from a few people that the movie was very true to the broadway counterpart. They were very impressed with this film adaptation.
I think there are some people out there that are seeing the preview for Rent and without knowing much about the plot they go and see it. The previews don't show much of the actual plot.
But ah this quick note has turned long and I recommend seeing this movie to anyone who loves a good musical. Fantastic movie!
My favorite song is La Vie Boheme!
