Thirsty for innovation and hungry for success, the son of a tailor manages to open a wax museum; however, he soon shifts focus to the unique and the peculiar, introducing extraordinary, never-seen-before live acts on the circus stage. Now, some people call Barnum's rich collection of oddities, an outright freak show; but, when Phineas, obsessed for cheers and respectability, gambles everything on the opera singer, Jenny Lind, to appeal to a high-brow audience, he will lose sight of the most crucial aspect of his life: his family. Will Barnum, the greatest showman, risk it all to be accepted?

*NOT REALLY A REVIEW BUT A RANT*
How can I missed this musical movie when I did musical movies marathon is beyond me. Anyway, before I watched this movie, I actually had listen to its soundtrack, A Million Dreams, This is Me, The Greatest Show, Never Enough, Rewrite The Stars and The Other Side so many times. And one day when I listen to one of the songs after watching High School Musical for idk how many times something in me just snap. Why on earth have I not watch this movie? So, here we are.
Since this movie kinda blown up the moment it released, I could say that I understand why it did. It had a serious plot going on with a seriously awesome music score. Who did not love This is Me? Not me. A man who did not know when to stop to prove a point until he realized that he is on the verge of losing his source of his inspiration and passion. Added up a star crossed lover, who could resist? Not me. Duh.
And not to mention all the excitement and adrenaline I have while singing along to the music, pure heaven. It seriously had take my stress away so yeah, this movie would be high on my re-watching stress free list. I really recommend you guys to watch it, if you haven't.
