Everyone needs to see this movie not because of the political humor but simply for a scene where the main character Gary is performing in LEASE: The Broadway Musical. LOL
The logo looks exactly like the Rent logo, and a scene is shown where the characters are performing the song "Everyone has AIDS!" which goes:
"Everyone has AIDS!
AIDS! AIDS! AIDS! AIDS!"
I nearly peed my pants laughing. The puppets are dressed in very "Rent" costumes including one transvestite in a santa jacket.
Another scene of the movie contains hilarious dialogue about CATS, but I won't ruin it. Go see this movie!!! It's the best satire of the crappiness of Rent I have ever seen.
Yes that's me. No, it's not a Rent homage.
