Movie Review: Rent

by Kelsie

Wow! What an exciting movie! The actors were superb, the costumes were excellent, the music was terrific, and the set was amazing. I know that most of the actors were from the original cast on Broadway, but it is so weird to hear the difference between when they were younger and now. They actually sound so much more GROWN UP!
I kind of had doubts about going to see the movie when it first came out, after seeing the Phantom of the Opera movie, but then I talked to a few people about it and they said it was truly an amazing show. And man, they were right. I know you probably think that Rent is just a boring story about a group of poor college kids living in the streets of New York. In a nut shell, it is (minus the boring part). but technically, it is much more than that.

Really, if you get the change, go see it. It is really, really good and it follows the original play pretty closely. Even if you don't want to go see the movie or the show, you should at least get the soundtrack.

Finally, to top it all off, even though I've said it about 20 times, (give or take a few) this movie was really good. So, when you have nothing to do--that is, nothing to do that is in the slightest bit amusing--get us, and go see RENT :)
