Negative Positive
Title: mediocre pop music and a horrible message
Review: I will start off by saying that I am a huge fan of musicals, including modern rock musicals, but I hate "Rent" (including the original play). Trying to persuade me with desperate fan comments will be a waste of your time. The characters are not likable; they are one dimensional, frivolous, and self-centered. Also the entire reason we are supposed to feel bad for them is because they have aids. Aids is a serious illness that shouldn't be made light of as it is in this horrible production. If you want to see a good play/movie about aids awareness, go see "Angels in America" instead. Furthermore the story line is slow moving and (obviously because of the weak characters) boring. However, if you've never met a gay person or a stripper before and you think that aids is trendy and fun, this is the movie for you.
