I've seen the stage production and read the LA Times review (I haven't seen the movie yet). I know the LA Times panned it, but what they really panned was the storyline....well, HELLO!!! The storyline is based on the play!!! They also compared RENT to "Team America's" 'Everyone has AIDS,' but this was the case in the stage version as well.....
They didn't really critique the cinemotography, the acting or the singing...the LA Times mainly critiqued Jonathan's original concept....which tells me that the author probably wouldn't have enjoyed the stage version either (which I did immensely!)....
