The Greatest Showman is about P.T. Barnum and him trying to make money by getting all these 'unique people' together and make a circus. He has a wife that he knows from when he was a kid and he was working for her father as a maid, because he was broke and she was rich her father didn't aprove of the relationship and now they have two kids. There is a subplot with Zac Efron and Zendaya who like each other but I will talk about that later.

Let's start with the positives. The acting is really good in it espacially Hugh Jackman and he caries the movie in a lot of ways. The songs were very good and that suprised me because I hated the song in the trailer and when I saw it in the movie I actually liked it. But when I was listening I noticed and you will as well that all the songs kinda sound the same. My biggest problem with the movie is the script. It uses a lot of montages to tell it's story and because of that there is no character devolpment at all. The only thing with the 'unique people' in the circus is that there is a group of people who hate them and we supposed to feel bad for them, but that's the thing... we don't, because we don't know them at all. The subplot with Zac and Zendaya is that they like eachother, but they say literally one thing to eachother and then at a concert they hold hands for a bit.

I want to talk a bit about the criticts vs the audience. I get both of them really well, I think the criticts see a sloppy story and because of that they don't like the movie. And I think the audience only hear the great songs and because of that don't really care about the story. I really get both points and understand both of their reasons for not liking the movie and why most of the audience love the movie. I would say if you wanna go see a movie with good acting and very good songs, go and see it. But if you want a real story with those preformances and songs maybe just go on youtube and watch the songs there.
