Rent check

(A few updates since the original post)

'Cause everything is ( rent (spoilers) )

I liked the movie well enough, overall, at a distance after I had stopped tearing up. I'd buy the movie to bring home for karaoke night, but that's about it; the people who I saw it with liked it well enough, or said they did, but I wouldn't recommend it to someone who wasn't a Rent-head.

And yet, you know...it bothers me a lot that opinions are shaking out along the lines of "OMG BEST MOVIE EVER If you don't like it you went in there prepared to hate it and cynical and MEAN!", "They changed one tiny thing! Heresy!", and (in mainstream media reviews) "Ha ha, people who think they're artistic and don't want to pay their rent. Ooh, they think they're so much better than us. Ha ha."

I am right and everyone else is wrong.
