Also, y’know what subplot is super tired and needs to die? The “I kissed someone else, but it’s not like that, please don’t leave and move back in with your parents” storyline. It was contrived and it was dumb. While the movie thrives on being flash over substance, it still was an enjoyable expe- rience. With a shrug and a smile, we left the theater satisfied with what we had seen, but looking for a little more. More depth, more character, more development. On the flipside, it could have been a lot worse. So, for what it’s worth, it was a decent film. Seeing The Greatest Showman was like seeing my good friend Hugh Jackman in his community theater production. After the show is over, you go and hug Hugh, give him a clap on the shoulder, because he did a great job. Sure, the musical was okay at best, but Hugh was really proud of the show, and sometimes passion wins out over quality. Come one, come all! Photo courtesy of imdb.com
