Having been a fan of the stage show, I am happy to say that the film version of RENT is well worth seeing. Naturally the movie lacks the high energy that jumps off the stage in certain numbers, and some songs were cut and there is more dialogue to help the story's momentum, but gratefully the story and themes of the musical remain intact. As the end credits rolled, it seemed most in the audience were frozen in their seats, catching their breath or just reflecting on what they just experienced. Many had tears in their eyes.
If you are a fan, you will not be disappointed and if you are a first-timer, you will be pleasantly surprised. This film is best shared with good friends, because good friends are what it is all about.
