Rent

One of the best Blu-ray discs I've ever seen. Picture and sound surpass expectation and are near-flawless. Special features are wonderful and allow the viewer to delve deep into the amazing world of Rent, thus allowing a better understanding and greater appreciation of this amazing piece.

As everyone already knows my unrequited love for everything Rent, the remainder of this review will focus on the differences between the movie and stage versions.

While the film reunites most of the Original Broadway Cast, Rosario Dawson and Tracie Thoms fold into the family perfectly as Mimi and Joanne. "Halloween" and "Goodbye Love" are noticeably absent, but don't disrupt the flow of the film.

This is the best big-screen adaptation of a musical to date. You won't be disappointed.
