it could be just me but i really love this movie. i don't know one girl who doesn't have it in their DVD collection and i'm proud to be one of them....the movie is funny, stupid, and all around a good time. so its not gonna win any awards or looked upon as "superior" but come on, don't you remember what its like to watch a movie just for the sake of entertainment? i have a section of my movie collection devoted to those chick flicks that while embarrassing to have are my guilty pleasures and i can't feel bad for that. what more do you want out of a stupid/funny movie? please don't pull some critical analysis on this movie people cause it is what it is. take it for face value and relax...

alright people, i know i'm not a film expert. i'm a 3rd year film student attempting to be a filmmaker so i'd like to think i know what i'm talking about. i have read some nasty reviews concerning rent and i would like to say that whoever does not like this movie has no heart! i loved every single moment of it. people are questioning the direction and the actors but i thought both were fabulous. great music, great acting, and wonderfully shot and edited. i was so in love with this movie by the time it ended that i really can't point out the flaws, nor did i notice them. i'm sure it has some, no film is perfect but all i'm saying is give this film a chance. i have never actually seen the stage production so i don't know how that comparison works out but i loved the film. i will be seeing it again in the theaters and i will without a doubt be buying the DVD. so those of you who hated it, please give it another chance. its got a powerful and touching message behind it.
