Coca - Cola acquired Minute Maid in 1960 , the Indian cola brand Thums Up in 1993 , and Barq 's in 1995 . In 2001 , it acquired the Odwalla brand of fruit juices , smoothies , and bars for $181 million . In 2007 , it acquired Fuze Beverage from founder Lance Collins and Castanea Partners for an estimated $250 million . The company 's 2009 bid to buy a Chinese juice maker ended when China rejected its $2.4 billion bid for the Huiyuan Juice Group , on the grounds the resulting company would be a virtual monopoly . Nationalism was also thought to be a reason for aborting the deal . In 1982 , Coca - Cola purchased Columbia Pictures for $692 million . It sold the movie studio to Sony , for $3 billion , in 1989 . In 2013 , Coca - Cola finalized its purchase of ZICO , a coconut water company . In 2011 , the Coca - Cola company bought the rest of the organic tea company Honest Tea , after buying a 40 % stake in the company in 2008 . In 2015 , the company took a minority stake ownership in the cold pressed juice manufacturer , Suja Life LLC . Revenue and sales ( edit ) The Coca - Cola Company 's Minute Maid group North America offices in Sugar Land Town Square , Sugar Land , Texas , United States According to The Coca - Cola Company 's 2005 Annual Report , the firm at that time sold beverage products in more than 200 countries . The 2005 report further states that of the more than 50 billion beverage servings of all types consumed worldwide , daily , beverages bearing the trademarks owned by or licensed to Coca - Cola account for approximately 1.5 billion . Of these , beverages bearing the trademark `` Coca - Cola '' or `` Coke '' accounted for approximately 78 % of the company 's total gallon sales . According to the 2007 Annual Report , Coca - Cola had gallon sales distributed as follows : 43 % in the United States , 37 % in Mexico , India , Pakistan , Brazil , Japan , and the People 's Republic of China , and 20 % spread throughout the rest of the world . The figure in 2010 showed that they sold 1.6 billion drinks every day . In 2010 , it was announced that Coca - Cola had become the first brand to top £ 1 billion in annual UK grocery sales . In 2017 , Coke sales were down 11 % from a year ago due to consumer tastes shifting away from sugary drinks and due to health risks associated with artificial sweeteners in Diet drinks .

Weinberg Bottlers ( edit ) Coca - Cola In general , The Coca - Cola Company and its subsidiaries only produce syrup concentrate , which is then sold to various bottlers throughout the world who hold a local Coca - Cola franchise . Coca - Cola bottlers , who hold territorially exclusive contracts with the company , produce the finished product in cans and bottles from the concentrate , in combination with filtered water and sweeteners . The bottlers then sell , distribute , and merchandise the resulting Coca - Cola product to retail stores , vending machines , restaurants , and food service distributors . Outside the United States , these bottlers also control the fountain business . Since the early 1980s , the company has actively encouraged the consolidation of bottlers , with the company often owning a share of these `` anchor bottlers '' . Outside North America The company 's largest bottlers outside North America are : Coca - Cola Amatil , based in Australia ( Australia , New Zealand , Indonesia , South Pacific nations ) ( Company owns a share ) Coca - Cola European Partners PLC , based in the United Kingdom ( western Europe ) ( Company owns share ) Coca - Cola Bottling Shqipëria , based in Albania Coca - Cola Bottlers Philippines , Inc. , based in the Philippines , a joint venture between the company and Coca - Cola FEMSA Coca - Cola FEMSA , based in Mexico ( parts of Mexico and Latin America ) ( Company owns share ) Arca Continental , also based in Mexico ( parts of Mexico and Latin America ) ( independent ) Embotelladora Andina S.A , based in Chile ( southern South America ) ( independent ) Coca - Cola Beverages Africa , based in Port Elizabeth , South Africa ( southern and eastern Africa ) ( company owns share ) Coca - Cola Korea , based in South Korea ( independent ) Coca - Cola HBC AG , originally based in Greece but now located in Switzerland ( Greece , Eastern Europe , Russia , and Nigeria ) ( Company owns share ) Coca - Cola Icecek , based in Turkey ( Turkey , southwest Asia , Arabia ) ( Company owns share ) Swire Group , based in Hong Kong ( China , Taiwan , Hong Kong ) ( independent ) Kirin Company , based in Japan ( independent ) In the United States Houston Coca - Cola Bottling Company In the United States , the company bypasses bottlers and is responsible for the manufacture and sale of fountain syrups directly to authorized fountain wholesalers and some fountain retailers . After purchasing the North American assets of Coca - Cola Enterprises , as of 2014 the company directly owns 100 % of Coca - Cola Refreshments , the anchor bottler of Coca - Cola products in North America , representing about 90 % of Canada and 80 % of the United States . Other major bottlers in the United States are : Coca - Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated , based in Charlotte , North Carolina ( company owns share ) Coca - Cola Bottling Company of Northern New England based in Bedford , New Hampshire and owned by Kirin Company Coca - Cola Bottling Company United , based in Birmingham , Alabama ( independent ) Swire Coca - Cola USA , based in Salt Lake City , Utah and owned by Swire Group In September 2015 , the company announced the sale of several production plants and territories to Swire , Consolidated , and United , and creation of the Coca - Cola National Product Supply System which controls 95 % of the territory in the United States . Consumer relations and civic involvement ( edit ) After Martin Luther King , Jr. won the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize , plans for an interracial celebratory dinner in still - segregated Atlanta were not initially well supported by the city 's business elite until Coca - Cola intervened . J. Paul Austin , the chairman and CEO of Coca - Cola , and Mayor Ivan Allen summoned key Atlanta business leaders to the Commerce Club 's eighteenth floor dining room , where Austin told them flatly , ' It is embarrassing for Coca - Cola to be located in a city that refuses to honor its Nobel Prize winner . We are an international business . The Coca - Cola Company does not need Atlanta . You all need to decide whether Atlanta needs the Coca - Cola Company . ' Within two hours of the end of that meeting , every ticket to the dinner was sold . -- Andrew Young Throughout 2012 , Coca - Cola contributed $1,700,500 to a $46 million political campaign known as `` The Coalition Against The Costly Food Labeling Proposition , sponsored by Farmers and Food Producers '' . This organization was set up to oppose a citizen 's initiative , known as Proposition 37 , demanding mandatory labeling of foods containing genetically modified ingredients . In 2012 , Coca - Cola was listed as a partner of the ( RED ) campaign , together with other brands such as Nike , Girl , American Express , and Converse . The campaign 's mission is to prevent the transmission of the HIV virus from mother to child by 2015 ( the campaign 's byline is `` Fighting For An AIDS Free Generation '' ) . Criticism ( edit ) Main article : Criticism of Coca - Cola Since the early 2000s , the criticisms over the use of Coca - Cola products as well as the company itself , escalated with concerns over health effects , environmental issues , animal testing , economic business practices and employee issues . The Coca - Cola Company has been faced with multiple lawsuits concerning these various criticisms . Advertising ( edit ) 1996 -- 2002 Chevrolet Express wagon from The Coca - Cola Company . Coca - Cola advertising has `` been among the most prolific in marketing history '' , with a notable and major impact on popular culture and society as a whole . The logo , bottle design , and brand image are internationally recognizable . Their product is ranked the number one soft drink , repeatedly , internationally , and has notoriety as the first soft drink consumed by astronauts in space . Coca - Cola employs a diverse range of integrated marketing communications to advertise through direct marketing , web based media , social media , and sales promotions ( Stringer , 2015 ) . The company carefully considers all touch points a consumer ( or prospective consumer ) has with the brand as potential delivery channels for the brand 's message , and makes use of all relevant communication systems . This well established , long standing , consistent approach has created a longing for the product that by far `` superseded the desire for that typically associated with a drink to quench one 's thirst '' ( Dudovskiy , 2015 ) . Direct marketing They have exclusive vendor company partnerships , which eliminates competition , e.g. cinemas and restaurants only serving Coca - Cola over Pepsi . At sponsored sporting events , they again eliminate competition by attaining sole sale rights as well as VIP sales opportunities to important clients , e.g. , baseball fields . Viral marketing The company also markets via mobile marketing in text messages , e.g. viral marketing campaigns ( Stringer , 2015 ) . Web and social media They set the industry benchmark as the brand so universally recognized that audience building is unnecessary . Their fan engagement spans 86 million globally across social media channels . They deliver a consistently unified message whether it be through new products , online interaction , and social , cultural , or sporting events ( Stringer , 2015 ) . Sales and promotions In the retail setting , direct store beverage delivery trucks ( mobile advertising ) as well as point of sale coolers and vending machines have bright red logo blazoned branding . In terms of food service , Coca - Cola is a food pairing suggestion that is now ingrained as a food match , e.g. , for popcorn , burgers , fries , and hot dog combos ( Stringer , 2015 ) . Products and brands ( edit ) Main article : List of Coca - Cola brands See also : List of assets owned by The Coca - Cola Company Coca - Cola Company 's office building in Madrid ( Spain ) The Coca - Cola Company offers more than 350 brands in over 200 countries , aside from its namesake Coca - Cola beverage . Non-food assets ( edit ) Columbia Pictures ( edit ) Coca - Cola bought Columbia Pictures in 1981 owing to the low monetary value of the studio . The film company was the first and only studio ever owned by Coca - Cola . During its ownership of the studio , the studio released many popular films including Ghostbusters , Stripes , The Karate Kid , and some others . However , after the 1987 film Ishtar , Columbia was sold to Tokyo - based Sony . World of Coca - Cola ( edit ) Main article : World of Coca - Cola Coca - Cola operates a soft drink themed tourist attraction in Atlanta , Georgia ; the World of Coca - Cola is a multi-storied exhibition . It features flavor sampling and a history museum , with locations in Las Vegas , Nevada and Lake Buena Vista , Florida . Brands ( edit ) Tab ( edit ) Tab was Coca - Cola 's first attempt to develop a diet soft drink , using saccharin as a sugar substitute . Introduced in 1963 , the product is still sold today , although its sales have dwindled since the introduction of Diet Coke . The Tab soft drink is difficult to locate in recent times , due to its de facto replacement by Diet Coke . Other soft drinks ( edit ) The Coca - Cola Company also produces a number of other soft drinks including Fanta ( introduced circa 1941 ) and Sprite . Fanta 's origins date back to World War II during a trade embargo against Germany on cola syrup , making it impossible to sell Coca - Cola in Germany . Max Keith , the head of Coca - Cola 's German office during the war , decided to create a new product for the German market , made from products only available in Germany at the time , which they named Fanta . The drink proved to be a hit , and when Coke took over again after the war , it adopted the Fanta brand as well . Fanta was originally an orange flavored soft drink which can come in plastic bottles or cans . It has become available in many different flavors now such as grape , peach , grapefruit , apple , pineapple , and strawberry . In 1961 , Coca - Cola introduced Sprite , a lemon - lime soft drink , and another of the company 's bestsellers and its response to 7 Up . An ad in Berlin , Germany . Coca - Cola South Africa also released Valpre Bottled `` still '' and `` sparkling '' water . In 1969 , the company released Simba , which was a take on Mountain Dew , and had packaging that was African desert themed , replete with an African Lion as the symbol of the brand . The tagline was `` Simba - It Cures the African Thirst . '' Also in 1969 , the company released a line of products under the name of Santiba , which was targeted for mixing cocktails and party usage , products including Quinine water and Ginger Ale . Like the above - mentioned Simba , the Santiba line of products was short lived in the marketplace . BreakMate ( edit ) Main article : BreakMate No longer manufactured , the Coca - Cola BreakMate was a three - flavour dispenser introduced by Coca - Cola and Siemens in 1988 . Intended for use in offices with five to fifty people , its refrigerated compartment held three individual one - litre plastic containers of soda syrup and a CO tank . Like a soda fountain , it mixed syrup in a 1 : 5 ratio with carbonated water . In North America , Coca - Cola discontinued spare BreakMate parts in 2007 and stopped distributing the syrup in 2010 . Healthy beverages ( edit ) During the 1990s , the company responded to the growing consumer interest in healthy beverages by introducing several new non-carbonated beverage brands . These included Minute Maid Juices to Go , Powerade sports beverage , flavored tea Nestea ( in a joint venture with Nestlé ) , Fruitopia fruit drink , and Dasani water , among others . In 2001 , Minute Maid division launched the Simply Orange brand of juices including orange juice . 2016 , Coca - Cola India introduced Vio ( flavoured milk ) to enter into the value added dairy category , the product lays the foundation for Coca - Cola 's new segment after Carbonated beverages : Water and Juices . In 2004 , perhaps in response to the burgeoning popularity of low - carbohydrate diets such as the Atkins diet , Coca - Cola announced its intention to develop and sell a low - carbohydrate alternative to Coke Classic , dubbed C2 Cola . C2 contains a mix of high fructose corn syrup , aspartame , sucralose , and Acesulfame potassium . C2 is designed to more closely emulate the taste of Coca - Cola Classic . Even with less than half of the food energy and carbohydrates of standard soft drinks , C2 is not a replacement for zero - calorie soft drinks such as Diet Coke . C2 went on sale in the U.S. on June 11 , 2004 , and in Canada in August 2004 . C2 's future is uncertain due to disappointing sales . Starting in 2009 , The Coca - Cola Company invested in Innocent Drinks , first with a minor stake , increasing to 90 % in the first quarter of 2013 . It was in May 2014 when Finley , a sparkling fruit - flavoured drink , was launched in France . It was launched in other countries later , including Belgium and Luxembourg in September . The drink had first been developed to start by Coca - Cola in 2001 in Belgium . The drink it targeted for adults , and is low in sugar with four flavors in 2014 . Best selling ( edit ) Coca - Cola is the best - selling soft drink in most countries , and was recognized as the number one global brand in 2010 . While the Middle East is one of the only regions in the world where Coca - Cola is not the number one soda drink , Coca - Cola nonetheless holds almost 25 % marketshare ( to Pepsi 's 75 % ) and had double - digit growth in 2003 . Similarly , in Scotland , where the locally produced Irn - Bru was once more popular , 2005 figures show that both Coca - Cola and Diet Coke now outsell Irn - Bru . In Peru , the native Inca Kola has been more popular than Coca - Cola , which prompted Coca - Cola to enter in negotiations with the soft drink 's company and buy 50 % of its stakes . In Japan , the best selling soft drink is not cola , as ( canned ) tea and coffee are more popular . As such , The Coca - Cola Company 's best selling brand there is not Coca - Cola , but Georgia . In May 2016 , The Coca - Cola Company temporarily halted production of its signature drink in Venezuela due to sugar shortages . Since then , The Coca - Cola Company has since been using `` minimum inventories of raw material '' to make their drinks at two production plants in Venezuela . Information ( edit ) On July 6 , 2006 , a Coca - Cola employee and two other people were arrested and charged with trying to sell trade secrets information to the soft drink maker 's competitor , PepsiCo for $1.5 million . The recipe for Coca - Cola , perhaps the company 's most closely guarded secret , was never in jeopardy . Instead , the information was related to a new beverage in development . Coca - Cola executives verified that the documents were valid and proprietary . At least one glass vial containing a sample of a new drink was offered for sale , court documents said . The conspiracy was revealed by PepsiCo , which notified the authorities when they were approached by the conspirators . Green tea ( edit ) The company announced a new `` negative calorie '' green tea drink , Enviga , in 2006 , along with trying coffee retail concepts Far Coast and Chaqwa . Glaceau ( edit ) On May 25 , 2007 , Coca - Cola announced it would purchase Glaceau , a maker of flavored vitamin - enhanced drinks ( vitamin water ) , flavored waters , and Burn energy drinks , for $4.1 billion in cash . Huiyuan juice ( edit ) On September 3 , 2008 , Coca - Cola announced its intention to make cash offers to purchase China Huiyuan Juice Group Limited ( which has a 42 % share of the Chinese pure fruit juice market ) for US $2.4 bn ( HK $12.20 per share ) . China 's ministry of commerce blocked the deal on March 18 , 2009 , arguing that the deal would hurt small local juice companies , could have pushed up juice market prices , and limited consumers ' choices . Coke mini can ( edit ) In October 2009 , Coca - Cola revealed its new 90 - calorie mini can that holds 7.5 fluid ounces . The mini can is often sold in 8 packs . Despite costing nearly 30 percent more per ounce , the mini cans have been met with positive sales figures . Holiday can ( edit ) In November 2011 , Coca - Cola revealed a seasonal design for their regular Coke cans as part of a partnership with the World Wildlife Fund . However it was withdrawn only a month after release due to consumer complaints about the similar look to the silver cans commonly used for Diet Coke . There were also complaints about deviating from traditional red as the color of Coca - Cola cans previously . Stake in Monster beverage ( edit ) It was announced on August 14 , 2014 , that Coca - Cola Co is making a cash payment of $2.15 billion for a 16.7 percent stake in Monster Beverage Corp to expand its market for energy drinks . Coke 's ownership in Full Throttle and Burn will be transferred to Monster . In return , Monster will transfer its ownership in Hansen 's Natural Sodas and Peace Iced Tea to Coke . Muhtar Kent , Coke 's Chief Executive Officer , stated that the company has the option to increase its stake to 25 percent but can not exceed that percentage in the next four years . Sponsorship ( edit ) Coca - Cola 's advertising expenses accounted for US $3.256 billion in 2011 . Sports ( edit ) Coca - Cola sponsored the English Football League from the beginning of the 2004 -- 05 season ( beginning August 2004 ) to the start of 2010 / 11 season , when the Football League replaced it with NPower . Along with this , Coca - Cola sponsored the Coca - Cola Football Camp , that took place in Pretoria , South Africa during the 2010 FIFA World Cup , during which hundreds of teenagers from around the world were able to come together and share their love of the game , partly due to Best Buy 's efforts through their @ 15 program . Other major sponsorships include NHRA ; NASCAR ; the PGA Tour ; NCAA Championships ; the Olympic Games ; the NRL ; the FIFA World Cups ; and the UEFA European Championships . Each Fall , Coca - Cola is the sponsor of the TOUR Championship by Coca - Cola held at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta , GA . The TOUR Championship is the season ending tournament of the PGA TOUR . In the Philippines , it has a team in the Philippine Basketball Association , the Powerade Tigers . Television ( edit ) The company sponsored the popular Fox singing - competition series American Idol from 2002 until 2014 . Coca - Cola is a sponsor of the nightly talk show on PBS , Charlie Rose in the US . Coca - Cola are also executive producers of Coke Studio ( Pakistan ) . There are various adaptations of Coke Studio such as Coke Studio ( India ) and Coke Studio ( Middle East ) . Theme Parks ( edit ) While not necessarily having naming rights to anything in all locations , the company does sponsor and provide beverages in many theme parks , usually in an exclusive capacity . This includes the Walt Disney Parks and Resorts , Merlin Entertainment , Universal Parks & Resorts , Six Flags , Cedar Fair , and SeaWorld Entertainment which are six of the nine largest theme park operators worldwide ( it is unknown whether OCT Parks China , the Chimelong Group , or Fantawild , the fourth , seventh , and eighth largest theme park operators respectively , use Coca - Cola ) . The company also directly sponsors , with naming rights , the Coca - Cola London Eye and the Coca - Cola Orlando Eye . The company also operates `` Coca - Cola '' visitor centers in Israel and Turkey .

Barnum and his troupe perform a show at the circus . ( `` The Greatest Show '' ) In a flashback to Barnum 's childhood where he and his father Philo , a tailor , work for the Hallett family , and he becomes infatuated with their daughter , Charity . Though Charity is being sent to finishing school , Barnum reassures her they will not be separated . The two keep in touch through letters until they meet again in adulthood ( `` A Million Dreams '' ) , eventually marrying and raising two daughters , Caroline and Helen , in New York City ( `` A Million Dreams '' reprise ) . They live a humble life ; though Charity is happy , Barnum dreams of more . Barnum loses his job as a clerk at a shipping company after the company goes bankrupt . Taking a risky bet , he takes out a large loan from a bank , deceiving the bank into accepting his former employer 's lost ships as collateral . He uses this loan to buy Barnum 's American Museum in downtown Manhattan , an attraction showcasing various wax models . Initially , sales are slow ; on the suggestion of his children to showcase something `` alive '' , Barnum searches for `` freaks '' to serve as performers for his museum ( `` Come Alive '' ) . This attracts a large audience despite protests and poor reviews , prompting Barnum to rename his venture `` Barnum 's Circus '' . Searching for ways to further his reputation amongst the upper class , Barnum meets playwright Phillip Carlyle and convinces him to join his venture ( `` The Other Side '' ) . Carlyle is enchanted with Anne Wheeler , an African - American trapeze artist , but he hides his feelings . During a trip Carlyle arranged for Barnum and his troupe to meet Queen Victoria , Barnum meets Jenny Lind , a famed Swedish singer , whom he convinces to perform in America , with him serving as her manager . Lind 's first American performance is a rousing success ( `` Never Enough '' ) . While Barnum gains favor with the aristocratic patrons , he begins to distance himself from his original troupe , refusing to socialize with them . Dejected , they decide to stand against their local harassers ( `` This Is Me '' ) . Carlyle and Wheeler attend the theatre together one night , only to run into Carlyle 's parents , who insult Wheeler 's lowly status , causing her to leave . Carlyle chases her and tries to convince her that they can be together , but she rejects him despite her feelings towards him ( `` Rewrite the Stars '' ) . As Barnum takes Lind on a US tour , Charity feels isolated from her husband as she stays home with their daughters ( `` Tightrope '' ) . While on tour , Lind begins falling in love with Barnum , but when he refuses her advances , she calls off the tour and kisses him at the end of her last show , which is photographed by the press ( `` Never Enough '' reprise ) . Barnum returns home to find his circus on fire , caused by a fight between the protesters and the troupe . Carlyle , who had tried to save Anne not knowing she had already escaped , is rescued amid the chaos by Barnum but suffers severe burns . Most of the sets and props are destroyed . Word of Lind 's cancellation and Barnum 's public intimacy also reaches New York , resulting in his mansion being foreclosed upon and Charity taking Caroline and Helen back to her parents ' home . Depressed , Barnum retreats to a local pub , where his troupe find him there and persuade him to rebuild the circus . Barnum has an epiphany that causes him to realize the circus was for his friends and family rather than for himself ( `` From Now On '' ) . Meanwhile , the injured Carlyle wakes in a hospital with Wheeler by his side and they share a kiss . Barnum leaves and finds his estranged wife , and they decide to mend their relationship . Faced with the financial difficulty of rebuilding the circus , the recovering Carlyle steps in , offering to use his earnings from his share of the circus 's profits to rebuild it under the condition of becoming partners , which Barnum happily accepts . As rebuilding the circus in its original location would be too expensive , Barnum rebuilds it as an open - air tent circus by the docks . The revamped circus is a huge success , and Barnum gives full control of the show to Carlyle so he can focus on his family ( `` The Greatest Show '' reprise ) . Cast ( edit ) Hugh Jackman as P.T.

Critical response ( edit ) On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes , the film has an approval rating of 56 % based on 207 reviews , and an average rating of 6 / 10 . The website 's critical consensus reads , `` The Greatest Showman tries hard to dazzle the audience with a Barnum - style sense of wonder -- but at the expense of its complex subject 's far more intriguing real - life story . '' On Metacritic , the film has a weighted average score of 48 out of 100 , based on 43 critics , indicating `` mixed or average reviews '' . Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` A '' on an A+ to F scale , while it earned a 70 % `` definite recommend '' from comScore . Owen Gleiberman of Variety gave the film a positive review , writing , `` The Greatest Showman is a concoction , the kind of film where all the pieces click into place , yet at an hour and 45 minutes it flies by , and the link it draws between P.T. Barnum and the spirit of today is more than hype . '' Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun - Times gave the film 3 / 4 stars , saying , `` With all that corn and cheese and old - timey sentiment , The Greatest Showman ends up scoring some very timely social arguments . P.T. Barnum himself would have approved the dramatic sleight of hand . '' Steve Persall of Tampa Bay Times gave the film an ' A ' , and said , `` The Greatest Showman is the feel - good movie the holiday season needs , '' while William Bibbiani of IGN gave The Greatest Showman a score of 7.9 / 10 , and called the film , `` wildly entertaining . '' Britton Peele of The Dallas Morning News said , `` The story is interesting and the beats are well - acted , but it 's the musical numbers that make The Greatest Showman . '' Jackie K Cooper of HuffPost gave the film a score of 10 / 10 and wrote , `` You will be overwhelmed by the music and magic that explode on the screen . The film has a message that should resonate with today 's world concerning acceptance and courage . '' Hugh Armitage of Digital Spy said , `` The Greatest Showman is a broad and solid crowd - pleaser . An undemanding spectacle for all the family . '' Alan Jones of Radio Times called it `` A joyously uplifting potpourii of visual resplendence , stylish choreography and solid gold magic , one engineered to approximate the lavish spectacle the movie musical once offered . '' Sheila O'Malley of RogerEbert.com gave it 3.5 / 4 , stating `` The Greatest Showman is an unabashed piece of pure entertainment punctuated by memorable songs . '' Douglas Davidson of CLTure called the film , `` An undeniable spectacle with a infectious soundtrack , a movie that dazzles and delights . '' James Berardinelli of ReelViews gave the film a 3 / 4 score , and said , `` The film has show - stopping well - choreographed numbers with catchy tunes , '' and Calvin Wilson of St. Louis Post-Dispatch called the film `` highly enjoyable . '' Carl Kozlowski of Pasadena Weekly gave the film an ' A ' , calling it `` Groundbreaking & grandly innovative . '' Sean P. Means of The Salt Lake Tribune gave The Greatest Showman 3.5 / 4 stars , stating , `` A strong cast give emotional power to this romanticized , tune - filled biography . '' Manuela Lazic of Little White Lies gave it 4 / 5 , saying , `` The Greatest Showman deserves to become a Christmas classic . The film 's severe romanticism and ridiculous but affecting enthusiasm make it irresistibly life - affirming . '' Pete Hammond of Deadline Hollywood gave the film 4 out of 5 stars and called it , `` A fantasia of song and dance , a joyous exercise in pure entertainment that is made for the holiday crowd . '' Conversely , Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle gave the film a negative review , criticizing the songs and characters and saying `` There 's idiotic , and there 's magnificent , but The Greatest Showman is that special thing that happens sometimes . It 's magnificently idiotic . It 's an awful mess , but it 's flashy . The temptation is to cover your face and watch it through your fingers , because it 's so earnest and embarrassing and misguided -- and yet it 's well - made . '' In a negative review for The Hollywood Reporter , David Rooney wrote `` This ersatz portrait of American big - top tent impresario P.T. Barnum is all smoke and mirrors , no substance . It hammers pedestrian themes of family , friendship and inclusivity while neglecting the fundaments of character and story . '' Writing for Rolling Stone , Peter Travers gave the film 1.5 out of 4 stars , saying , `` How do you cast a virtuoso Hugh Jackman as P.T. Barnum , spare no expense in production values , add a score by Oscar and Tony winners Benj Pasek and Justin Paul and still end up with the shrill blast of nothing that is The Greatest Showman ? Ask first - time director Michael Gracey , who cut his teeth on commercials and music videos without ever mastering the crucial knack of building snippets of musical comedy and drama into a satisfying whole . '' Justin Chang of the Los Angeles Times wrote that the film 's failures `` are rooted in something deeper : a dispiriting lack of faith in the audience 's intelligence , and a dawning awareness of its own aesthetic hypocrisy .
