I'm a huge Sarah Silverman fan. How is she in the Rent film?

Absolutely perfect casting. People literally laughed as soon as she appeared on screen because of preconceived feelings about her. She's hysterical.

When I read that she had been cast as Alexi, I nearly wet myself. Because I knew she'd be perfect for it.

She's hilarious in the part. I kind of wish she could have sang the voicemails...but still. She's extremely funny in the role.

Thanks kids. She's one of the few people that can make me laugh before she opens her mouth.

Seeing Rent on Monday. Can't wait!

Loved her in RENT - but be forwarned - her part is almost overshadowed by what's going on in the background. I found myself almost not able to listen to her dialogue LOL

Yeah, I think I'm in love with Sarah Silverman. I had already thought she was pretty cute, and then after that hilarious bit she did in the movie "The Aristocrats," she convinced me that she was just about the coolest girl on the planet.

Spider-

I'll post some thoughts after the movie opens. Even though I was fortunate enough to see it in advance - I want to wait for it to open nationwide...

She was on the show Crank Yankers a lot, funny times.

People laughed because SHE, herself is funny...not because she's funny in the movie. Her material really isn't comical - it's very straight forward.

Alexi Darling isn't a comedic role in the film? HOW?

It is, but I think Munk was saying that people laugh more at SARAH then they do at ALEXI. They literally laugh before she even opens her mouth.

Alexi Darling is funny for the same reason Ben Stiller's role in Reality Bites is funny. It's because it's an over the top commericial television exploitation producer type character.

Her part is very, very small. The film doesn't dwell much on the whole Buzzline thing. I actually sort of wish they "showed" a clip of the show to indiciate its supposed sleaze rather then just mentioning it in passing, but the entire film goes so fast, its almost a cliff notes version of the Broadway show.

She is funny, but I agree, people are laughing because of the actress not the role. It's like Will Ferrell's entrance in WEDDING CRASHERS.
