Fantastic for anyone who loves to be entertained.

Rating: 10/10 (14 February 2018)

Fairly early on in the film, Hugh Jackman's character is talking to a theatre critic, and remarks that he seems to take little joy from his work, considering it is based on entertainment.
Had I taken any notice of the critics reviews for this film I'd likely have waited until it came out on dvd. As it was, a perfectly timed birthday gift for a family member saw us attending the cinema, and for this I'm glad.
If you're the type of person who goes to the cinema to be forget about the stress of everyday life and simply want to be entertained, then you won't fail to like this film.
Regardless of the chronology deviations or factual detail, the only thing that matters is that you leave the cinema with a smile on your face, and I certainly did.
