Review of The Greatest Showman (2017) by Jacque W — 18 Apr 2018

Sadly,, I missed this when it was nearby, then rented it, and ... Wow! This is the first movie in decades that I watched at home and truly regretted not seeing it on the big screen. Determined to fix this, the very next night, I took a friend to the nearest theater... 1.5 hours away. So worth the time and effort! She loved it so much, she's taking a group of friends next week!

"The Greatest Showman" is a truly entertaining movie, Wish they made more like this. Is it flawless period piece? No, but I was so entertained that I couldn't care less! Hoodwinked? Perhaps in some respects, but the cast's stellar performances, illuminated perfectly by the many creative contributions of the brilliant crew members told a story that played out in an enjoyable syncopated rhythm, yet woven together like an elaborate, spectacular tapestry, spectacular enough to appeal to any age, in today's modern times. Both fun and brilliant!
