Rent
From: Sony Pictures Home Entertainment - Year: 2005 - Rated: PG-13 - Release Date: February 21, 2006 - Features: Anamorphic * Widescreen * DD 5.1 * Extras! * - Recommended! With its soaring score and fine performances, the movie version of Rent is slick and entertaining, but never delivers the profound, emotionally affecting experience we crave. Director Chris Columbus gives us a tantalizing taste of what the show is about, but if you want the whole meal, you'll have to go to Broadway. High quality transfers (especially the audio) and a thoughtful salute to composer Jonathan Larson help make this two-disc special edition a handsome keepsake for "Rentheads," but all others heed this advice: Buy the soundtrack, rent the film.
