The Greatest Showman

Rating: 6/10 (14 December 2018)

Young boy PT Barnum dreams of success and grows up to be Hugh Jackman, creates a circus, gets lost on life's highway when dazzled by a beautiful and talented opera singer, but finds his true self in the end - that's it.
The story is very slight and predictable, but that's scarcely the point with a film over flowing with belt 'em out show tunes which all sound like 'Let it Go'. I will admit to rather disliking it to start with, but it sort of grows on you and you find yourself at the end wanting to go back and see (hear) it again, just to be absolutely sure it really wasn't rubbish after all.
