Who saw Rent? Did you like it? What's better, the play or the movie?

Answer 1

I loved the movie! So polished and clean and mostly original cast. Rosario Dawson was awesome (hey I just made a poem)

Answer 2

I ADORE Rent. I really love the stage version, but I didn't really like the movie. After being a fan almost since the show originally opened on Broadway in 1996 and seeing it ten times, I was kind of nervous for the movie. I was sure it couldn't possibly be as energetic and moving as the play.

The movie wasn't as bad as it could have been - a few years earlier there was a script buzzing around the Rent community that not only cut out most of the songs but involved JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE starring as Mark - but I was still very disappointed. The movie is a very mediocre one, and - with a story that original and good - it could have [and should have] been an amazing one. The only saving grace of the movie, I feel, is the cast - deciding to get almost the entire original Broadway cast of the movie was a very good decison!

Whoa, sorry, I think I get on a bit of a tangent when Rent is the topic. :D I really hope you get the chance to see Rent on stage, but the movie is definitely also worth seeing it. I don't love it, but its still an amazing story.

Answer 3

Loved Rent the movie, I'm also addicted to the sound track. I'd probably do just about anything to get tickets to the play!

Answer 4

I loved RENT. I've seen both, the broadway and the movie.
There's more songs in the broadway. I love the movie, because I can watch it whenever I want. The broadway show was amazing too, except the actor who played Angel sucked at my showing.
