Históricamente incorrecto, pero brillante por si mismo: Todo genial si hubiesen establecido sus propios personajes, pero en lugar de eso prefirieron adoptar los nombres de personajes que, si vivieran hoy, serían apedreados por la multitud (lea la biografía de Barnum), sin embargo, por si misma, es una obra encantadora, con un excelente arreglo musical, irradiando luz y muchas emociones con cada canción.

La pelicula tubo una muy buena intensión, pero faltó profundizar un poco más en la idea. Hay momentos en los que las cosas simplemente ocurren sin razón aparente alguna. Aún así no se puede negar el buen montaje, el buen diseño de vestuario, de producción y la estupenda banda sonora, que lastimosamente se vuelve tediosamente repetitiva en algunas escenas.

Overall good messages of belonging, honesty, and loyalty. Some of these lessons P.T. had to learn the hard way, but learn them he did. For example, though he lied sometimes, those lies eventually caught up with him. We appreciated his confession of pride to his wife, "I wanted to be more than I was." Song messages good within the context of the story. Some of those words, though, in other contexts would be dangerously self-deceiving. The movie contained slight scenes of violence, tastefully played so appropriate still for young children perhaps, and a few bad words that were unnecessary. Our family (ages 9 to 48) gives it four stars.
