THE GREATEST SHOWMAN (Theatrical Release USA 2017)

 Ben Meyers’ Rating: 4.3|5.0 Starsìììì 

The Greatest Showman—beautifully presented, backed with outstanding music and dancing—is wonderful. The singing is some of the best a movie could have and brings both joy and excitement. This piece reminds one of why we go to the movies and deserves its addition to the home video library collection. It tells the P. T. Barnum story with finesse, dignity, and integrity. Great to see Hugh Jackman pull this off so well and the terrific choice of Zac Efron as a business partner. WOW!!! What a treat! No ‘shab’ here. It’s a film that will soar in popularity through the years.
