Raetsonwe Redundant and unnecessary.
PodBill Just what I expected
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Christian Writer/ Director Stephen Chbosky gets all the right notes from this acclaimed musical and deep-reaching story and lyrics. The actors and atmosphere of sadness, seduction, friendship, hardship and rebellion shine. The film medium is well used to make a remarkable adaptation, using some of the original cast. Chbosky masters the material and makes a fitting legacy.Based on the late Jonathan Larson's Broadway Musical masterpiece, this film fits well with the 2005 themes of sexual orientation and identity and deals with homosexuality, HIV/AIDS, drugs, relationships, art and bohemian lifestyle in a hard, yet enchanting way. Great music, lyrics and editing. Dark and not for everyone, it is funny with plenty of witticism and likewise endearing. Good signing and acting from a strong ensemble cast. This will have you signing and thinking for a while.
Tucker2007 If you're not one of those weird theater-crazy hippy types then this movie probably won't be for you. Personally I don't like musicals that much to begin with, but there have been some that I've enjoyed despite that fact. The South Park movie and Sweeney Todd for example. This movie however made me want to never see a musical ever again. The songs are so clunky and just.. bad.. It's like you'd have to be on a butt load of pain killers to enjoy songs like Seasons of Love. Seasons of Love should be the theme song for the Mormon faith; it's so cheesy, uninspired, and makes you want to puke because it's so overly happy. "One Song Glory" makes me want to punch the nearest breathing thing in the throat. It is such an annoying song that it irritates me just writing about it. I don't remember a whole lot about the story since its been a few years since I've seen this movie. Mostly that everyone has AIDS and owes rent money from last year. Also that guy wants to write a good song so he'll be known after he dies of AIDS. Other than that I got nothing. It was boring and painful to watch.
Irishchatter I honestly loved the opening theme song of ' Seasons of Love'. It's just an incredible way to start one of the most recognized musicals in the whole wide world.The rest of the music was great. As usual after her success in the Broadway musical 'Wicked', Idina Menzel killed it with her role as a bisexual woman. Like seriously, you can get that girl into anything! I'm so glad she got involved with voicing Elsa in Frozen. She is a legend. Just stunning!And how can we forget Wilson Jermaine Heredia aka Angel. He looked fabulously smashing dressing up as a drag queen. He really had a lot of energy and his love for Tom Collins just made you smile! I was so gutted that he died from aids. I felt so deeply sorry for Collins cause they were such a cute couple together :((Roger had the best voice with his own rock style. I think himself and Mini were meant for each other. I'm happy they rekindled in the end because it wouldn't make sense for them not being together! I absolutely loved watching this musical, it was so enjoyable!
shallowsend-1 I started watching this film thinking I was going to be seeing an interesting musical about people who were not selfish pricks that bring problems on themselves. Instead, that's what I got. I only lasted 30 minutes and then stopped watching it because it was that bad. Horrible acting. The timing of the music and singing was horrid. Even the lip syncing for the singing was off at times. Not to mention the story sucks. The people expect the landlord to not be mad about them being late a year behind rent. I don't blame the dude for being angry. If you want to watch a good musical, watch Repo The Genetic Opera, The Meaning Of Life, Sweeney Todd, or anything besides RENT.
