Best Musical Movie I Have Ever Seen

Rating: 10/10 (30 December 2017)

I'm a fan of musical and dance movies. Grew up watching all the High School Musical movies, Step Up, Stomp the Yard, and the list goes on. Almost didn't watch this due to some of the bad reviews this movie scored but glad I went with my gut feeling. I actually went to see this movie twice and have even more appreciation for it after the second viewing.
While Hugh plays P.T. Barnum, he isn't exactly like him. If anything the name is more of a vessel. I think it would be very hard to make a musical and do everything the real Barnum did.
Soundtrack is amazing. All original songs and they have a nice modern take to them. I've downloaded the whole album on my phone and listen to the music on long drives.
Cast is perfect. Zach Efron is amazing in this. Hugh of course steals the show and does it perfectly. You can see and feel how much emotion he put into this.
I can't wait for this to release on Blu-Ray and plan on watching all the behind the scenes and extras too. If you're on the fence due to other critics or want to see a film that makes you feel happy, please go see The Greatest Showman.
