About this movie

Hugh Jackman and Zac Efron star in this bold and original musical that celebrates the birth of show business and the sense of wonder we feel when dreams come to life. Inspired by the ambition and imagination of P.T. Barnum, the film is directed by exciting new filmmaker, Michael Gracey, with songs by Academy Award® Winners Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (La La Land).

Guess i dont like musicals so dont go into this thinking this will change your mind about musicals in general. Big fan of Wolverine Jackman but yeah these types of movie arent my cup of tea.

This movie had potential for a great story but ended up using it as the introduction! Him growing up would've been the perfect movie but no! It must be another generic musical with bad songwriting.

Am I the only one who thinks this movie is in poor taste? Too much hype surrounds this movie. A few ok songs. But why not cast the real singer rather than lip syncing? Unfortunately I feel like this is one of Hugh's worst.
