I am another person who created an account specifically to review this movie. I remember when I would see the trailers, I was interested in seeing the movie, but would wait until it came out On Demand.
I love musicals, and when this came on demand I watched it. It was a Friday night. I kid you not, I had watched it 6 times by Sunday night.
This movie was not what I was expecting. It was so much more. I understand that the true story of PT Barnum and the whole moral, ethical debate isn't touched, BUT, this move absolutely blew me away. The music, the dancing, the costumes, the sets....everything was so well put together that I was fully immersed in the movie like I haven't been in a long time.
The musical numbers were so great. So uplifting. Especially at this time in our country's political climate, I really felt like this movie spoke to that. It is really a feel good movie, and there is nothing wrong with that. I think we all need more of that.
I also purchased the soundtrack and have it on repeat in my car. My kids all absolutely love the movie as well.
I don't understand the critics disdain for the movie, as it immediately became one of my all time favorites.
