Is This Movie Going to Suck?


Don’t get me wrong. I loved the musical Rent. Well, I loved it at least the first few times it came through town. I bought the Rent soundtrack the day it came out when I was in junior high and faithfully memorized every word with my best friend at the time, Brent. (How gay is that, right?)

Anyway, now ten years later Sony has made Rent into a movie. The trailer for the movie has been floating around the web and I’ve watched it a couple times. Each time I scrutinize the words, the images, the actors, and the music, and damn it if I can’t quite tell if the movie is going to suck or not.

What do you think?

Watch the trailer here and then give me your verdict.
