Historically inaccurate, way too cheesy

Rating: 1/10 (11 September 2018)

I'm a huge history buff, and I also enjoy the occasional musical, but this film was extremely painful to watch. Throughout the film, Barnum( Hugh Jackman) is portrayed as a good person. But that is far from the truth. In fact, P.T. Barnum was a prolific racist and he abused his performers. Painting over the dark history of P.T. Barnum's circus with a happy go lucky let's all learn a valuable life lesson vibe is quite frankly very insulting to the memory of his victims.
