One star for enthusiasm. One star for asthetics. Nothing else. I like musicals, and I can leave my personal dislike of the circus at the door long enough to watch a movie.

I'd also like to add that PT Barnum is no hero, so to all of the reviews calling out how cringey his actions are: Good job. You're not blind.

But goodness, I was able to predict the entirety of the movie WAY before anything happened. Not to mention that the storyline is tired. Yay for romance across differing classes! (Yawn.)
