Rent

I've never seen "Rent" as a play, so everything was new to me in the film.

I think the non-singing transition scenes were okay, but also lacked in keeping a congruent vibe to the musical numbers at times.

I did enjoy the musical numbers, and some of the songs are just so heartwrenchingly sad and beautiful at the same time. No doubt I got teary-eyed in many spots, but the emotions were earned.

I give it 3 stars, or a grade of B.
