This is so much more than a Circus movie or a musical....
Remember this is a MOVIE not an biography of PT Barnum. Let it take you away for two hours into a colorful and wonderful world, away from your everyday life. Kind of like the real circus used to.
As the story progresses and you meet and understand the characters, it no longer becomes a circus musical but more about family--real and created. About following your dream--sometimes too far. And how everyone deserves to be loved and has a place in this world. Lots of wonderful messages that society today needs.
