The documentary blew me away. I actually got very emotional watching it, to the point where my mom was staring at me in concern. Also, it was very nice to see some of the people Anthony mentioned in 'Without You'.
All the deleted scenes that had Benny I think Colombus made the right decision to cut them out, although it was disappointing, because those scenes did makes Benny seem *human*, at least. Also, I think it was very important to show Benny paying for the funeral, and Mimi, Benny, and Mark briefly discussing Mimi going into rehab. I've already ranted enough about Mark and Roger's fight, so I'll leave well enough alone.
The alternate ending was excellent, and very emotional, but I can see how it would be confusing to people not familiar with the play.
And the commentary was excellent, with hilarious and insightful comments from both Anthony and Adam. Colombus also had some interesting things to say, but half of the time he was talking as though he'd never seen the play.
