Growing up in the early 1800s, P.T. Barnum displays a natural talent for publicity and promotion, selling lottery tickets by age 12. After trying his hands at various jobs, P.T. turns to show business to indulge his limitless imagination, rising from nothing to create the Barnum & Bailey circus. Featuring catchy musical numbers, exotic performers and daring acrobatic feats, Barnum's mesmerizing spectacle soon takes the world by storm to become the greatest show on Earth.

I thought that this was a terrible idea way before I ever saw the movie itself, and I thought this was a terrible movie way before I ever found out what P.T. Barnham was actually like. What a toilet fire in every sense, this is one of those rare examples where I just can't understand what everyone is loving here.
A original take on the story of genius showman P.T. Barnum led by the very mesmerizing Hugh Jackman. The visual effects are stunning and the music is moving and vibrant. It does not contain much detail into the the story but you are satisfied by the end. Zac Efron also holds his own and I begin to like him more and more! 12-31-2018
The Greatest Showman's infectious dance numbers, musicality and showmanship from Hugh Jackman is enough to hold the tent up for a film that is undoubtedly about the visually dazzling spectacle than the obviously simplistic narrative. 3.81/5
A fun, albeit shallow time for the family. Skip the story, stay for the songs.
