I went to the theater to see this with my daughter thinking I was going to see a biopic about PT Barnum. I had no idea it was a musical and generally speaking I'm not a musical fan. I just don't like movies that force situations to break out in song. Hugh Jackman plays PT Barnum and I had a hard time seeing Wolverine singing show tunes.

Basically it's the story similar to The Island of Misfit toys with a bunch of "freaks" finding a world to fit in and Barnum learning to control his own ego and keep his family intact.
