Based on the imagination of P.T. Barnum, this original musical tells the story of a spectacle that became a sensation.
The music is fantastic, the story has many holes and is extremely "Disneyfied" as history tells us that Barnum was not at all benevolent or kind. So take the historical element with a grain of salt.
The movie itself is filmed like a play rather than a moving picture - which again creates holes in the storyline and can also be a tad claustrophobic. That being said the music and performances alone are spectacular and worth the ticket.
**1/2 - Rentable - but worth seeing on the big screen
Rated PG (for mild language and violence)
