So anybody that knows me is probably going to be very surprised that I went and saw this.\u00a0 \u00a0Even as I write this I’m kind of surprised myself.\u00a0 A musical about a circus show.<\/p>\n
In 2017 a friend of mine and I bought this $35 deal from Regal where you could see every Best Picture nominated film as much as you wanted for a week.\u00a0 We saw all nine of them that week, many a few times (yes, I was exhausted by Sunday).\u00a0 This included La La Land which I would have never seen except this deal.\u00a0 \u00a0Believe it or not, I have seen a number of musicals in my life.\u00a0 My parents were into it when I was a kid, I was married to a music major for over 10 years.<\/p>\n
La La Land was horrible.\u00a0 It was bad just by itself but made worse when compared to Hidden Figures, Fences, Hacksaw Ridge, Hell or High Water, Lion, Manchester by the Sea and the best picture winner Moonlight.\u00a0 Just in that category a movie like Hidden Figures, which I very much enjoyed was obviously put in that category because of the actual great true story, not because of it being a great film.\u00a0 You expect that when it comes to the Oscars but it in the case of La La Land, it was so bad that I lost all respect for the Oscar process.<\/p>\n
Ok, all of that said about La La Land, zero expectations for Greatest Showman.\u00a0 My youngest daughter really wanted to see this.\u00a0 She did and wanted to see it again so I took her.\u00a0 I went into it same way I went into any Disney Princess movie, there for her and that’s it.<\/p>\n
I was very surprised by it.\u00a0 The signing was really good, not something I’d go and buy the soundtrack but I could very much appreciate the talent.\u00a0 The story was entertaining enough that I didn’t fall asleep.\u00a0 And I’m sorry to bring it up again but if I were to just rank La La Land to Greatest Showman, La La Land would get somewhere in the negative and Greatest Showman would get a 10+.<\/p>\n
Since I’m not ranking this compared to just one movie and instead overall, I give this a 6 out of 10.\u00a0 \u00a0A movie I’d strongly recommend if you have kids under 14.<\/p>\n
