 My favorite DVD!! December 11, 2007
A beautifully filmed version of the popular Broadway play, "Rent." Sad, poinient and human, the story deals with the impact of AIDs on the artistic communities of New York during the early part of the epidemic. My friend and I bought the soundtrack and we just adore it. WARNING: Buy a box of Kleenex to go with this DVD.

 Good movie, bad UMD December 8, 2007
First off, I love Rent. Have the Broadway and German Cast soundtracks, I've seen it on Broadway, and saw the movie several times in the theater. Great movie. But the UMD just flat out sucks. Believe it or not, there is NO CHAPTER SELECT option in the main menu. Wow. A musical UMD naturally ought to be separated into chapters that will let you easily go to the track you want to watch/listen, but that's not possible without a chapter selection menu. Furthermore, the chapters are not bookmarked so that they start at the beginning of a song, which again, would make sense for a musical like Rent. Video and audio are good, but I would have just made my own MP4 video file if I knew that the UMD would be so lame, especially since Sony now allows video of full 480x272 resolution to be played from memory stick. Using PSP Video 9, you can make videos that are of comparable quality but only 700mb-1gb in size (AVC video@768kbps, AAC audio@128kbps) that will play off your pro duo memory stick. And since the PSP now allows you to easily scene search by 1,2, or 5 minute intervals, it is much easier to find the song you want to play on the pro duo than on this UMD. Bottom line, forget this UMD even though it is pretty cheap at thirteen dollars shipped.
Even better than expectations December 1, 2007
I knew the film was fantastic but I didn't realize how great the bonus disc was going to be. It really provided the background behind the creation of the original play and helped me understand what the playwright was thinking. Best DVDs I've bought (but honestly, I've only bought a few).
Made me cry November 29, 2007
When I saw the original cast of Rent on Broadway I was not wowed. Then when I saw the film version, I started crying at the opening scene. Really well done.
