Critical receptioneditReview aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a score of 4. The sites critic consensus reads, Fans of the stage musical may forgive Rent its flaws, but weak direction, inescapable staginess and an irritating faux boho pretension prevent the film from connecting on screen. On another review aggregator, Metacritic, the film received a score of 5. Alternate endingeditIn addition to four deleted scenes, the DVD release includes an alternate ending, showing all the main characters including Benny, who was not present in the other ending except Angel standing in the positions where they were during the Seasons of Love opening, all standing in a line of spotlights, with Angels spot empty. Later in the scene, she enters from the side and walks down the line to take her place, stopping as she passes Collins to take his hand for a moment. Although this tableau is used in the finale of the musical, it was dropped from the film for fear that audiences may have wondered why Angel had returned or why the characters were lined up on stage again. In the commentary, Chris Columbus adds that he didnt want audiences to think that everything was okay and Angel was alive again. Differences between the stage and film versionseditIn the stage version the events of Act 1 take place during Christmas Eve. In the film, this is stretched out over a number of days. Some lyrics referring to certain dates are changed to accommodate this For example, Out Tonight changes the line we wont be back before its Christmas Day from the stage version to we wont be back before its New Years Day for the film. Goodbye Love was filmed in its entirety, but the second half was cut from the film because Columbus considered it somewhat of an emotional overload, as he states on the DVDs commentary track. The film leaves ambiguous the death of Rogers girlfriend April, who dies before Rent begins. In the film, she is seen reading a doctors report that she is HIV positive it is stated that she has died, but nothing more is said.
