The rent's due?! Oh, no, Pearl is my landlord!

I never saw it, as I have little interest in a musical of its type (I gave Hairspray a shot at least) - but I heard its quite good.

I saw this live in 1996 and it was a powerful stage piece. It is hard for me to distance myself from that experience. I was initially disapointed in the movie because I always felt like it was unfilmable. I did buy the blu-ray and was pleased at what a great transfer....and time has allowed me to forgive it's flaws. In my opinion the best part of the movie is that they used most of the original cast...who were just great. Not the best theatre musical to film but it does have it's moments.

I didn't give this movie a chance, Netflixed it and the second I heard singing I turned it off. Just not my thing.

Is there any difference between the US version and the Japanese version?

I believe the Japanese version is an MPEG-2 encode on a BD-25 disc with no special features, while the U.S. version is an AVC encode on BD-50 disc with a feature-length documentary, etc, included. I'm not 100% on that though.

Yeah, there is usually singing in musicals!!That's like saying, "I rented House of 1000 Corpses, but the minute I saw blood, I turned it off. Just not my thing."

I Netflixed it and liked it a lot. I'll probably purchase it sometime in the near future. The PCM track is very nice.

I checked out the original Broadway soundtrack for comparison between the two characters that were not in the original production, and I have to say I liked Rosario Dawson a lot more than Daphne-Rubin Vega. My favorite part is between Mimi and Roger (Another Day) in his apartment, and I didn't get the same feeling from that scene with Vega.
