I also wanted to say that you have an awsome voice, and I think you fit Mimi's role really well.

Posted by: Rachel on 11/09/05 at 10:04 AM

It all looks amazing! I can't wait... I might have to take the fast train over to England in February to see it, 'coz it's gonna be hard having to wait until April 12 to see it here (in France)...

I'm sorry for all the others, but I have to confess I have a special soft spot for "Roger"...

big Bee-zoos from you're faithful fan in France, Anne-Inger

Posted by: Anne-Inger on 11/09/05 at 10:04 AM

Rosario,
I'm so impressed with your performance. It was like you were born to fit into the OBC. You and Adam fit really well together and that kiss...wow! I think I speak for most of the Rent heads when I say your an amazing Mimi. 13 days!!

Posted by: Amy on 11/09/05 at 10:05 AM

I am so excited for this movie. My roommate just lent me the soundtrack (because I'd never listened to Rent before) and I LOVE it. I've been listening to only this CD on my iPod since Sunday. Thanks so much!

Posted by: Rachael on 11/09/05 at 10:21 AM

Posted by: Tim on 11/09/05 at 10:30 AM

I MIGHT ACTUALLY DIE OF ANTICIPATION!!!!
the closer we get to November 23rd, the more I can't stand the suspence. This clip was so cute with all the scenes showing Mimi and Rodger in love. OMG so sweet.. I love all you guys and I can already tell just from the clips that you held true to the spirit which is RENT and the movie is going to be just as memorable as the broadway play.

Lots of love to all my rentheads and to the cast, crew, Larson family and everyone else involved with the film. Here's to an amazing opening day!!!!!

Posted by: Amanda Brandt on 11/09/05 at 10:30 AM

ahhh i love it. i CANNOT wait!! 14 days!!

Posted by: Christine on 11/09/05 at 10:32 AM

I have to be honest, when I first heard the casting I was a bit worried. I think the clip of "I should Tell You" is AMAZING!
congrats on landing the part of Mimi. I'm so excited for the new cast members to have had this experience. Just a couple more weeks of waiting!

Posted by: scott on 11/09/05 at 10:32 AM

Oh this is going to be so good....she is so lucky she gets to kiss Adam Pascal. Grr...

Posted by: Amara Offhaus on 11/09/05 at 10:34 AM

We're all behind you Rosario! You kick ass!

Posted by: Geoffrey on 11/09/05 at 11:04 AM

I just wanted to say how excited I am to see your portrayal of Mimi. Like a lot of people, I didn't know what to expect when you were first cast, but after hearing and seeing this clip, I know you have done a fabulous job. I can tell that you have brought a lot of emotion to the role and I can only imagine how wonderful you will sound in the movie. Thank you for doing such an amazing job.

That was soooo sweet. Rosario, you will blow all of the skeptical rentheads about you out of the water. You rock! i don't know if you realize how grateful fans of the OBC are to have you. Carrie

Posted by: Carrie on 11/09/05 at 01:07 PM

AMAZING Rosario and Adam!

Posted by: Nora on 11/09/05 at 01:08 PM

I saw the film last night at a screening and it was AMAZING. Rosario did an awesome job. Her dance scene in "Out Tonight" is OUT OF THIS WORLD. Congratulations on a job well done.

Posted by: Erin on 11/09/05 at 01:09 PM

Rosario-OMG!!! You look so cute with adam!! You have an absolutely fabulous voice. I think you are an amazing actress, and I cannot wait to see you in this movie!!

Posted by: rentchick22 on 11/09/05 at 01:10 PM

You have such a great voice Rosario and so pretty!I can't wait for the film!

Luv,
Melissa

Posted by: Melissa on 11/09/05 at 01:10 PM

Oh YAY! I love it! Rosario you're such an awesome Mimi! I cannot wait for the film! SOON! REALLY, REEEEAAALLLY SOON! Ahhh theres only like 14 days left! I'm gonna flip!

I was just listening to the Mexican cast's version of RENT (Renta!) and I definatly prefer it in English than in Spanish, because its all changed around because the words don't fit in with the beat of the music. Some of the words don't make any sense....

Thought you'd like to know.
No hay más que hoy!

And I thought they would use Take Me Out! This is so much better! Good job Rosie!

Posted by: Louise on 11/09/05 at 01:17 PM

More neato stuff. Rosario, you look and sound great! Not to mention you get to kiss Adammmmm. Lucky you! Can't wait for the movie!

Peace, Love, Soul

*le friggin sigh*
What a wonderful clip!! Rosario, I love what little I have been able to see so far of your portrayal of Mimi. Beautiful voice and your onscreen acting talents are incredible! You definately give Mimi a great sense of vulnerability that is meant to be seen on the big screen.
Chris Columbus, your movie version of the "I should tell you" song sequence definately works. Thanks so much for creating a fresh and renewed presentation of that touching scene.

~Muse~

Posted by: Muse on 11/09/05 at 01:19 PM

the video is amazing i can't wait to see the movie!!!

Posted by: Miriam on 11/09/05 at 01:19 PM

I think you are amazing. I saw a sneak last night and I am blown away by the whole cast as well as the directing by Chris Columbus. What a performance. All of the anticipation and line waiting was so worth it. I can not wait to see it again on the 23rd.

Posted by: meg on 11/09/05 at 01:22 PM

You make such an awesome Mimi!

Posted by: Taylor on 11/09/05 at 01:29 PM

I was expecting "Out Tonight", which, because of the vh1 video, I had already seen a lot of footage of. But I was most pleasantly surprised! Rosario looks gorgeous, of course. Not to mention I looooove her vocals in this song.

Posted by: Samira on 11/09/05 at 01:31 PM

I love this song. I can't handle the wait anymore! I'm counting down the minutes.

Posted by: Claudia on 11/09/05 at 01:32 PM

FINALLY WE GET MIMI!!!!!!!

Posted by: elisabeth on 11/09/05 at 01:43 PM

OMG! That was amazingly beautiful. :*D I may just drown myself with my tears of happiness. :D

Posted by: Jasmine on 11/09/05 at 01:44 PM

To be completely honest, I was dissapointed when I heard that Daphne Ruben-Vega wasn't going to play the role of Mimi in the movie. I was worried that whoever they were going to get wouldn't be able to sing or act or anything.

And to be frank, the entire show would be ruined if Mimi wasn't good, regardless how spectacular the rest of the cast was.

Thank God they found you Rosario. I was shocked when I heard your vocals. Your voice has a wonderfully pure tone and your acting is first rate. I'm going to be watching for you in the future! Thank you so much for living up to all our expectations and beyond. We love you Rosario.

xoxo

This movie looks beautiful and there might be no other word to describe it. Each clip is as wonderful as the last, thanks for working so hard to bring us what RENT was meant to look like.

Posted by: Garrett on 11/09/05 at 02:23 PM

Wow Rosario - that was incredible. I must admit I was a little aprendious about you playing Mimi, but let me just say that has all gone out the window. You have an amazing voice and seem to have done Miss Mimi Marquez justice. Thank you so much and keep up the amazing work!

Posted by: Lissa on 11/09/05 at 02:25 PM

Rosario

Posted by: Natalie on 11/09/05 at 02:41 PM

That song is amazing, but I couldn't see anything half the time. Oh well its probally just my computer. I hope everyone has a fantastic day!

-Katie L

Posted by: Katie L on 11/09/05 at 02:42 PM

That was soooooo awesome. The part "trusting desire, starting to learn..." etc. always makes my throat catch cuz it's just so freaking beautiful. Rosario, you are the best. I can breathe easy with you as Mimi, lol. =)

~Alex

Posted by: Alex on 11/09/05 at 02:45 PM

Rosario, you're so pretty! I convinced a bunch of my guy friends to go with me to see RENT because of you. ^_^ I'm wicked excited!

Posted by: Rachel on 11/09/05 at 02:49 PM

Rosario, you sound so sweet in that clip. You and Adam have great chemistry by the looks of it.

Posted by: Sarah on 11/09/05 at 03:53 PM

Rosario, you DEFINITELY have done this part justice! You have the most incredible voice! And you and Adam have the perfect chemistry, musically and more!

Posted by: Oberon on 11/09/05 at 03:57 PM

Rosario...you've turned me into a HUGE believer and I'm also a HUGE fan of your's as well. You go girl, you rock, so excited to see this film!

Posted by: Jackie on 11/09/05 at 05:00 PM

It's hard to believe the show has been going on for almost 10 years and you are just now joining the cast. Thanks for bringing such a spark to Mimi! This is my first time seeing the show since I live in the midwest, so I'm really excited I get to connect the character I have been singing along to for so long with such an amazing actress!

Posted by: Laura June on 11/09/05 at 05:04 PM

Wow hey! this is so cool! my parents saw RENT when it first came out in '96 and they fell in love with it. I was this little six year old who didn't understand what any of it meant and yet i would dance around my living room singing "What You Own" until my voice was hoarse. Now, almost ten years later, I understand the meaning of the production and it has affected my life so much....and i'm still dancing around my living room singing "What You Own" plus all of the other songs in the play. I honestly have every single word memorized. I just love it so much! I cannot wait to see the movie...OPENING DAY haha! I'm such a big fan of all of you guys! I listen to the Wicked soundtrack religiously and well, Taye Diggs is in some of my favorite movies ever! I'm pretty much in love with you all really! This is getting to be really long and boring so I'm just gonna go haha! Can't wait to see you guys on the big screen!!!
Rachel

Posted by: Rachel on 11/09/05 at 05:11 PM

Confused...I thought the film was being released this Friday (11/11) here in NYC?!? Can someone help me figure out what is going on?

Posted by: Chris on 11/09/05 at 09:19 PM

awww!! I LOVE IT!

Posted by: Monika on 11/09/05 at 10:47 PM

Is Rent going to be coming to Germany? I am here for a year and was upset that it was being released after I left the states. I don't want to wait another 8 months, so if it's being shown here, in German or English, I would LOVE to be on the downlow.

Rosario,
I think you are perfect for this role. I am so happy for you and the cast of Rent. I can not wait to see this production, I think it should be mandatory for everyone in the whole world to see it. I know all of my Theatre Geeky buddy's from Metro State will be the first one's in line Opening Night~!

thatttttss right BAAAABY!!!!!!!!!! how could one movie make so many ppl sooooooooooo happy?

Posted by: sara on 11/10/05 at 11:09 AM

Rosario,

I must say, as an avid fan of the original cast, you opitimize the role of Mimi more than I could believe. The role was made for you, and I dunno if you even knew it. I am thrilled to see it when it comes out, and welcome to this world of Rent as you merge for the role of fan, to recieving fanfare! Rock-on!

Sincerely,

Megan

Posted by: Megan on 11/10/05 at 11:49 AM

Sorry, folks. But this is actually GOOD NEWS if you're out of the loop... The opening date has changed: The Premier is now in NYC on 11/17. One week from tonight!

Posted by: Olieanna on 11/10/05 at 11:56 AM

okay in one word....WOW!

Much love,

Oh, that was so great! I seriously cannot wait! Plus, you know, it's a great song! 23rd cannot come soon enough!
Love always,
Mandy

Posted by: Mandy on 11/10/05 at 12:56 PM

Ewww, there's kissing! You're spreading cooties! It's gross!

Ha ha kidding, I actually think it's great. Thanks for the video.

Posted by: Aria on 11/10/05 at 02:05 PM

Ahh, Rosario. A treat indeed. Mimi Marquez, ever-so-lovable drug addict. Very different, yet u play the part so well(from what I hear & see.)Not saying ur addicted to drugs so don't worry. I never knew u had such a beautiful voice. You kept it hidden but, most rentheads r glad it's out of its shell. U & the rest of the cast keep it up. I sing La Vie Boheme so much at school, my friends want to see it!(They also think the preview is killer awesome).

Rosario - you totally ROCK. I can't wait to see you as Mimi. Very pretty voice! Oh yeah, and you're gorgeous! *crushing on Rosario*

Posted by: Katlyn on 11/10/05 at 04:51 PM

Today for you tomorrow for me... just a few days untill tomorrow! Ahh! It is going to be wonderful! I am sure this is going to be worth seeing x 10

Posted by: Rebecca on 11/10/05 at 05:12 PM

Awwww! You and Adam look so cute together!! I should tell you is probably going to be one of my favorite parts in the movie! I can't beleive only 13 days left!!! :)

<3 Cara

P.S. I'm totally jealous you get to kiss Adam!

Posted by: Cara on 11/10/05 at 06:10 PM

Some new clips from the movie! They look great, and it's weird to think that RENT would have originally opened tomorrow! Was Anthony the one who actually recorded all that video for Mark? That would have been neat!

It's sad that it was pushed back, but what a great Thanksgiving & something to be thankful for! We have an amazing promotional 3-D item at the cinema where I work, and I can just stare at it... it helps the hours go buy, haha.

Have a great day!
<3 Joyce

Posted by: Joyce on 11/10/05 at 07:12 PM

Wow... I AM SOOO PSYCHED FOR THE MOVIE! By the way, Rosario, I was very jealous of you after I watched this ;-)

Posted by: Shelly on 11/10/05 at 07:29 PM

Hey there. Boston, ma and wanted to say i was blessed today with a prescreening ticket for Rent. Let may say the movie is awesome. Tango Maureen and Out tonight scene rocked. Rosario did a great job. Can't wait to see it again on opening day.

Posted by: jorge on 11/10/05 at 07:39 PM

argh rosario, I ENVY YOU actually, I ENVY ALL WOMEN IN RENT BECAUSE THEY GET TO KISS REALLY HOT GUYS!!!!!

i was really worried about Rosaria Dawson in this part, but the clip really put my worries to easy. great job honey, im glad your the one with the part!!!!!!

Posted by: Sarah on 11/10/05 at 10:53 PM

Yo Rosario (and adam ;),

You must get your butt to AUSTRALIA!!!
We LOVVVVE YOU DOWN UNDER ;-)

Posted by: Sally on 11/10/05 at 11:47 PM

I saw the movie last night at a special screening....it was FANTASTIC! I will definitely go again, but on first inspection I was truly impressed. I loved the choices made and the additions to the story. Well done!

Posted by: Katherine on 11/11/05 at 06:45 AM

I'm so excited to see the movie but unfortunately i'll have to wait for i don't know how long, because i live in Holland! (i'm a Nederlander) Can't wait that long!! Very good job, this movie. I loved the musical on broadway NY, saw it in may and i still play the cd al the time...

Posted by: Sean on 11/11/05 at 08:41 AM

Rosario,
I think that you are so talented and beautiful and I can't wait to see the movie!! :)

Posted by: Katey on 11/11/05 at 08:57 AM

Oh! Finally! I've been waiting for the Rosario clip forever...unfortunately I haven't seen any of the other movies she's been in (although my friend says I HAVE to watch Josie and the Pussycats), and I wanted to see how she did...
Any doubts are gone. Rosario, you are fantastic.

12 days and counting...

Posted by: Linnea on 11/11/05 at 09:49 AM

It's AWESOME!!!

Oooh, Taye, I saw you on People.com in the running for the sexiest smile.
You have 57% of the votes!!!!! (Beating out Prince William, George Clooney, and Tom Cruise)!
Just thought you aught to know. :)

Posted by: Rebecca on 11/11/05 at 10:14 AM

Rosario, i'm jealous of you for four reasons:
1) Your in Rent
2) Your dating one of the most beautiful men on earth
3) You get to be Mimi to Adam P.'s Roger
4) You seem like a beyond amazing person.

Posted by: Genny on 11/11/05 at 10:16 AM

I'm a die-hard Daphne Rubin-Vega fan, so I bawled my eyes out whenever I heard she wasn't going to be a part of the movie.

That didn't keep me from finding everything about the movie that I could... I'm so very glad I did, too! Otherwise, I would've missed out on the talent called Miss Rosario Dawson!

When I first heard her sing, my mouth dropped the floor! SHE HAS A BEAUTIFUL VOICE. It's hard for me, now, to picture Daphne playing that role. I cannot wait to see it, really.

I still cannot believe this is the Rosario Dawson that I saw in "Down To You" back in 2001! What a talent she has hidden from all of us for SO long!

I bought the OutKast album JUST because Rosario is on it! I don't even listen to that kind of music! I'm ALL Broadway here - I branched out thanks to Rosario! ;)

Posted by: Angela on 11/11/05 at 11:11 AM

Rosario-

i wanted to post so you would know how psyched i am about you being in this movie. from what i've heard on the soundtrack, you're going to make an amazing mimi!

11 days!

-Leah

Posted by: Leah on 11/11/05 at 12:12 PM

Hey guys, I've been fairly silent all along but I'm a huge RENT fan also, saw the show 4 times on tour and 3 times on Broadway. I got to see a pre-screening of the film last night in Knoxville, TN and want to say YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED. It was excellent! The cast was incredibly passionate and though we all know their names and stories, all I could see when I watched the movie were the characters!

Initially, it was awkward watching this as a film because I had seen the stage production so many times; I was constantly comparing every word, every scene, everything to how it played out onstage. When I finally focused on it being a movie, I was able to feel the same way about the movie that I did the first time I saw the stage production!!!!!

Posted by: Teague on 11/11/05 at 01:40 PM

If I had half of that talent I wouldn't know what to do with myself. I am incredibly jealous and astonished!!! All my love!!

Posted by: Sammy on 11/11/05 at 03:07 PM

MOTHER OF GOD. I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS MOVIE.

Posted by: Kristin on 11/11/05 at 03:34 PM

Oh, Rosario, you're so fantastically amazing... Seriously, this clip just blew me away. If the movie is half as good as these clips (and I'm sure it'll be ten times better!) then I may just have to 'splode from the awesomeness of it all.


Only a week and a half more!! I cannot wait; I'm jumping out of my skin. Literally.


Love love,
Shae

Posted by: Shae on 11/11/05 at 03:41 PM

Rosario, I just have to post and let you know that you, along with tracie, have not only met my EXTREMELY high expectations from what I have seen and heard but you've COMPLETELY surpassed them!!! Just watching the out tonight video and this blog, you completely light up the camera, as mimi should, and I can just tell you did an absolutely INCREDIBLE and stunning job in the movie!! AHHH 10 DAYS!!!! sorry, I just relized how close it is and had a freak out... thats a little over A WEEK!!! *hyperventilates*

<33 Steph L

Posted by: steph on 11/11/05 at 10:10 PM

Awwwww! Why do you have to be so good that I can't hate you for kissing Adam ^_^
These clips are just teeeasing me! I want to seeeee!!!! Noooooow!!
Now, the true question is: Is it wrong that I would sell my family to science just to finagle my way to this premiere? LoL!

Beautiful job, Rosario. I'll admit, I was worried when they decided to cast you as Mimi since she's my favorite character, but you did her justice and your voice is beautiful.

Posted by: Briana on 11/12/05 at 07:45 AM

wowwww; FANTASTIC on-screen chemistry between adam and rosario !! verrrrry realistic, i feel like i'm there with them sharing in the passion, it's so raw and real, pheonomenal job everyone! and i absolutly cannot WAIT to see their romance as well as everything else on film on nov. 23rd!! and i will SOO be at the theater at midnight!! heck yes!!!

Posted by: caraaa! on 11/12/05 at 11:13 AM

i just posted about 5 seconds ago and it is necessary that i do it again to let everyone know that.. i've seen the trailer(s) on tv about 6,000 times and each one i've seen is different! and i love that because when i hear the opening notes of the trailer it makes my jaw drop each and every time i see it.. making every time like the first. good idea to make multiple trailer/teasers etc.

and i'd also like give a huge thank you to everyone involved in RENT for keeping all of us die-heard rent-heads updated in everything that's going on, it is greatly appreciated, more than you might ever know. it really makes us fans feel like we're apart of the experience. it also makes us realize how much you all truly care about us as fans, you're not just famous people with your heads in the clouds, you're down to earth people who are doing something special, and sharing it with the world. thank you for everyhing and all the hard work you've put in, i absolutly KNOW that your work will pay off, and as a matter of fact, i think these hundreds or thousands of comments have already shown you that indeed your work has and will continue to pay off.
Thanks for caring and doing a wonderful job!!
Love always;
Cara

Posted by: caraaa! on 11/12/05 at 11:24 AM

wow...i'm so excited about the movie coming out, and every entry just makes it worse! however, i'm stuck here in southern md, and i can't find any info on who's going to be showing the movie..does anyone have any clue?

Posted by: erin on 11/12/05 at 12:04 PM

Oh my God, I can hardly wait. My son got me hooked on Rent years ago and we have seen it many, many times on tour. I can hardly wait for the video. At least he is in NY and can see it next week. I have to wait til the 23rd like most fans. A buddy and I who work in a local high school are going to go together. With our fanatacism, others are begging to tag along. I told them "Don't try and stop me from singing or you have to move. Who needs to stay home and get ready for Thanksgiving, right?

All ages, 22 - 56, but we are all RentHeads. No age limitation, correct?

Idina, Taye, Jesse, you are awsome. I love all the things I have seen you guys do.

Idina, you are gorgeous, green or normal.

Much love to all of you and thank you, thank you, thank you for making this such a memorable event for all of us.

Peace and Love, Leone

Posted by: Leone on 11/12/05 at 03:32 PM

i have went to see rent once a year for the last seven years hoping someday i would be able to bring it home because it has always been my dream to be in it. even if it is the part of opening and closing the curtain or giving someone water. i cry everytime i see it i dont if it's because of the amazing story or if it's because i want to be a part of it so bad. someday i hope. well awesome job to everyone in the movie i cant wait to see it

Posted by: tiffiny on 11/12/05 at 04:26 PM

I am really excited. Rent has meant so much to me for the longest time. I am applying to college now and I actually wrote one of my essay's on how Rent has changed my life. So I just wanted to say thanks!

Posted by: Rachel Janicki on 11/12/05 at 04:28 PM

Amazing, simply amazing. You have a great voice!

Posted by: Camile on 11/12/05 at 06:03 PM

I can't tell you how sad I was to see that Mimi's character has to smoke in the story. So many teens are influenced by what you all do... it was a sad decision.

Posted by: Greg on 11/12/05 at 07:12 PM

I am so excited for this movie that I am about to piss my pants!

I have seen you in several movies, but I never knew you could sing, so I was thoroughly suprised when I found out that you would be starring in Rent. I have had the pleasure of hearing some of the tracks from the soundtrack and you sound amazing. Did you have to take vocal lessons?

Posted by: shevolkia on 11/13/05 at 11:03 AM

I luv you in this clip!! You are the perfect for the role as mimi! I am so excited to see the movie! My favorite song sung by the character mimi is Out tonight! Its my ringtone evan!

Good luck on Conan tonight!

Posted by: Danielle on 11/16/05 at 06:04 AM

I got to see a screening of Rent this weekend, and you were SPECTACULAR!! I have so much respect for you after seeing you play this role. You even made me cry a couple of times...ahhhh.

p.s. I love how EVERY video blog that's a clip from the movie shows the New Years explosion. That cracks me up.

AWESOME MOVIE GUYS!! It's a hit, I can't wait until it hits the theatres. I love you all.

Today I overheard one of my students playing the CD soundtrack.

I heard "Light my candle".
Stopped what I was doing.
Haven't really started back.
Completely hooked.

I have to wait until February???
I May have to come to America! :)

Posted by: Jonathan on 11/18/05 at 02:00 PM

You're amazing and gorgeous. This whole film and musical and concept has just escalated my wanting to live in New York sooo badly. Therefore, I've decided to gradate high school and everything, so I can go to college up there, and live. Life will be good.

Posted by: Kim on 11/18/05 at 05:02 PM

I can not wate to see the movie RENT with my two upstate friends. We are all so into music that we'll probabley be singing whenever your singing durring the movie. We're going to see it on opening night. I hope we don't get kicked out for singing too loud. Ha ha ha ha ha. -Rita-

Posted by: Rita(Twist) on 11/19/05 at 08:58 AM

Hey! I'm new to the blog but I'm a HUGE RENT FAN!!!!!!! Rosario (I hope that's how you spell it), you ROCK GIRLFRIEND!!! Mimi is the perfect role for you!! Can't wait to see the movie on Wednesday!!!!!

Posted by: Sarah on 11/19/05 at 02:03 PM

I just wanted to say that I saw a Broadway production of RENT in New York City two years ago and it changed my life. I used to be so closed minded about homosexuality, but for some reason that helped me understand things better. I remember after I saw the play I was wishing that someone would make it into a movie and my wish came true...i am so excited that after my one class on Wednesday, November 23, before I go home for thanksgiving break I'm going to see it, the first showing! I intend to see it as many times as I possibly can, until it is not in theaters. When I think about RENT it symbolizes a happy memory and I am just glad that I can relive it. Thank you so much for making it into a movie. I'm SURE its gonna be GREAT!

Posted by: Cherisse H. on 11/21/05 at 06:36 AM

Rosario, you've nailed Mimi's character more so than any of us Rentheads could've hoped. Thank you for such dedication to the true spirit ofthe character, and for your own spirited performance. You rock the world!!

Posted by: Catherine on 11/21/05 at 09:08 AM

o my goodness.
Rosario you are so unbelievably talented and grgeous! i want you to know that you are one of my ultimate role mdels.

Posted by: Katey on 11/25/05 at 08:47 AM

I've seen the movie twice in 24 hours and I absolutly love it. I would go see it again, but I'm broke. Rosario you were absolutly amazing. I love seeing you and Adam onscreen together!

Posted by: Kelsey on 12/04/05 at 06:34 AM

This is one of the greatest movies ever. Rosario is so perfect for this role especially since she was born in New York! Rosario you are so pretty and talented! xoxo
