6/10
The critics have been really harsh on this movie. While not a great movie, it's still good enough to be enjoyed by kids during the holiday season. There are fun musical numbers and Hugh Jackman excels in his role as Barnum. It's not meant to be a realistic biopic. It's an enjoyable musical fantasy.

Jackman as the street urchin son of an itinerant tailor with grand dreams is re...

Barnum), but once the songs kick in, it’s hard not to get swept up. Hugh Jackman is so good at throwing himself into the role, and the ensemble numbers are pure spectacle. I’ll admit the historical accuracy isn’t re...
