Rent (2005) scores a combined 1.00 out of 4 stars for Lawrence Journal-World (Jon Niccum)Lawrence Journal-World (Jon Niccum)
'Five hundred twenty-five thousand, six hundred minutes.' These opening lyrical lines of Rent also seem to describe how long it takes for a viewer to sit through the movie. ...read the complete Rent movie review at Lawrence Journal-World (Jon Niccum)
