I like it. I DVR'd it one day this summer and accidentally got my toddler addicted to it. (Funny, since addiction is a theme of Rent.) It is not a movie for children or babies, but I let him watch it because he loves it so much and really loves the music. I have learned a lot about Rent in the past few months. For a while, we watched it multiple times/day. I am not really sick of it, which I find amazing. Anyone else?

Oh, I forgot to say that although I didn't love it completely the first time, it really has grown on me more and more. I still notice something new with every time I watch it, which has been a LOT! Seriously, probably WELL over 100 times. This may be because the cast was so familiar with the material they were able to put a lot of extra into their performances.
Also, the writer is an Aquarius, born 2 days before me (but a number of years earlier)!

Nice. I was so surprised to learn that the movie cast is almost the same cast as the original Broadway. No wonder they had such good chemistry!

It looks interesting and I'd like to see it. I'd love to see the musical live, too.

I say it's worth checking out. I got it as a last chance option on my DVR. Best $1.99 I've ever spent!!

Heh heh...I love how everyone is posting Rent pictures on here!!! Tango Maureen is great. My little shrimp walks around saying, "Pooky". I really like the song with Maureen and Joann. It is escaping me at the moment. Probably called "Take me" or something. Sometimes I turn it off after that song because that's where it starts to get sad. :) Of course, we have all seen the whole thing a lot, but sometimes I'm not up for the sad parts.

Ha ha. My kid is definitely addicted to that. He calls it "Bo bo bo." When we first watched Rent, I thought he was just playing and I was watching it. Then, a couple hours later, he came up to me and said "Minute Minute". And I said, "Did you just say Minute?" He wasn't talking much yet and he'd never said "minute" before. And then I said, "You want to hear that song?" And he said yes. For a while, he would just watch the first song all the time. Then I got lazy and started to let the movie run and he got into the whole thing.
