Plan on seeing the live show this upcoming Sunday on Broadway.
Lets face it...if "Rent" was to come out in 2005....it wouldn't even make Broadway. The subject matter is now more socially accepted than it was then. In the early 90's HIV/AIDS, Homosexuals and Tranny's were a big and controversial subject. Which helped the play out alot.
Still a nice feel good movie/play though. I cried like a bitch twice.

This is true...this is a dated subject now. I mean, if you pay close attention to the jokes....the fact that someone became a lesbian and left mark was just hilarious at one time.
Now its just cliche
But I really feel that the emotional "hook" is still there which is why I think this movie was impossible to be less than a 8/10...which is what I would give it. The musical was an 11/10 , even today in my book
