There was no "weakest link,", and especially not Rosario Dawson, who, in my opinion, was wonderful. As was Traci Toms, whose acting skills blew me away.

The only complaint I have is that the movie theater I saw it in had the projection bulb turned down so low that in the nighttime scenes it was practically impossible to see faces.

I HATE theaters that do that to save money. They absolutely suck.

Oh yes Rosario is definitely the weakest link, that's why the majority of critics single her out as a potential nominee for awards because she really, really sucked.

Right.

Awards??? As in academy award??? I seriously doubt any oscar nominations will be forthcoming for this movie.
I agree with Muscle, RD's singing voice was the weakest link and that was even after they fiddled with fixing it up for the movie. Seems like lots of people around here are way too sensitive to any criticism over the Rent movie.

I thought she was great.THe problems I had with the Rent film had nothing to do with the performances or the singing, which were all top rate, even Ms. Dawson.

The entire cast was solid. Rosario was my personal favorite. I think her performance was good and with a great director she could have knocked the role out of the park.

I went into listening to the soundtrack and seeing the movie very skeptical of Rosario. Fortunately, she blew me away. I was very impressed with her acting skills and her singing. I am now a definite fan. Although, I will admit, I didn't know her before this, as apparently Marquise did.

Yes he was straight, and I honestly thought Rosario did amazing! In my opinion the weakest link was (quite suprisingly) Idina. She lacked charisma and humor.

Well, Idina sure as hell had charisma on stage. Especially for the hetero male audience.

Personally, I think the weakest link is Adam Pascal. Everyone else stood out to me (especially Dawson, Martin, Menzel, Heredia, Thoms), but Pascal just seemed to be... there.

I think I'm in the minority here, but I thought Idina was the strongest performer in the film. I liked Rosario a lot, though I really wish "Out Tonight" had been a stronger number on film. Having half of it occur while she was all bundled up, skipping down the street just didn't work for me.

Rosario Dawson was AMAZING! Her acting was fantastic and her singing was great too! Obviously, not being a singer/musical theatre person, she didn't have the best voice in the film but she was pretty damn good! I think her "Without You" is one of the most musical moments in the film! Although everyone was fantastic, I believe that Rosario and Jesse were the standouts!..... just my opinion.....

ok...i thought Rosario was good....i don't know why all these evil people are attacking me...i thought she was good...BUT she was the weakest performer in the film i thought. I didn't like her "out tonight" too much...but i thought she was GOOD...just weaker than the other guys...that's everything i said. My point of view...i am not insulting anyone...actually let's change it...i am insulting all the people who insult me back!

"i don't know why all these evil people are attacking me"

Evil people? Wow, I didn't realize disagreeing with someone put me on the dark side. Give me some Hayden Christensen pre-Darth days and I'll be set.

She gave a great performance.

I'm going to see it tonight. I will erase all the garbage I've read on this and other sites and as someone who has seen both the Original Off-Broadway and Broadway versions of the show in 1996 I will go with an open mind.
