Favorite movie of the year - Best musical in decades

Rating: 10/10 (3 January 2018)

I love Star Wars, enjoyed Jumanji and am basically a guy who likes a good PG-13 action movie that makes you think. When I hear that a movie is a musical, I usually avoid it. However, my wife and kids talked me into watching this one (kids saw it a second time with me) and I was pleasantly surprised. It is so much more than a movie about a guy and his circus dreams. It lifts your spirits and tells a story about people overcoming hardships. The music is above and beyond anything that I've experienced in a single movie. My kids keep listening to it over and over and its been a week since they saw it the first time and I still enjoy hearing the songs. Looking forward to seeing it again. Yes, the critics got it wrong on this one.
