I saw Rent Broadway...

[E equals MC2]

I guess I saw it too late..

When it first came out in 96's, it was considered controversial as it dealt with AIDS, Homosexuality, etc in a very MTV-esque gritty urban setting.

I guess I would've like it much more if I did see it during 1996, not 2006- a different era we live in. All the 'appealing issues that made Rent popular & controversial are now just tired and boring.

At least I loved the kickass live band and amazing live singing. The plot is boring.

Is it really true that everyone has AIDS?

Because everyone has AIDS!
AIDS! AIDS! AIDS!

I liked it, great music...although I did see it years ago. Watched the movie the other day, not half bad either.

Seeing the movie is good enough. Check out Avenue Q.

Same here.

Like the OP said, I think I may have liked it better if I saw it when it was first out on Broadway.

i thought the plot was a little shallow but it was entertanining nonetheless
