a movie about a circus and the strangest concept was michelle williams smiling and being happy the entire time

the scene in the beginning where young hugh jackman gets away with stealing bread proves that this is an alternate timeline where jean valjean starts a circus instead of going to prison for 19 years, finding god, and becoming the mayor of a little french town

The worst movie I ever liked

me: uh yeah so the film has a pretty weak script and uses extravagant musical numbers to cover up that the plot is pretty incoherent and also there’s at least 16 technical issues which is 16 too many for my pretentious ass

also me: LOOK OUT 👀👀 CAUSE HERE I COME 😩✨ AND I’M MARCHING 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️ TO THE BEAT I DRUM 😜🥁 I’M NOT SCARED 😎😤🚫 TO BE SEEN 😱👁 I MAKE NO APOLOGIES 😘👊🏼 THIS IS ME 😂💯

I watched this movie while drinking heavily and by the end it beat me into submission and I cheered when Zac Efron put on a hat.

the time is NOW that we stop with this heinous disrespect of zac efron. he appeals to all demographics! this thot has done 4 1/2 movie musicals, he singlehandedly dominated the comedy genre when he snot rocketed in mike & dave need wedding dates, he’s playing ted bundy soon (for the freaks), and he solved racism through song not once but twice! in both hairspray and this movie! he was also part of the “i am your mother!” snl sketch that is rumored to have inspired hereditary (2018). this man is an american treasure!

i, too, would fall in love with zendaya at first glance

there's a quick moment in the trapeze love song where zendaya sits on top of zac sexfron in the cowgirl position and she was able to keep lip syncing like a professional whereas i, a lesser woman, would have fully melted in that scenario. and for that i believe she deserves an academy award

high school musical, but make it historically inaccurate

this movie is really stupid if you think about it for more than 10 seconds but zac sexfron was in it AND they did that musical thing where they cut the music and everyone claps and sings the chorus and i love having fun

Such a lovely movie

With great actors...

Let's fucking sing about it

i liked it WAY more this time around. honestly some of the detail and filmmaking in this movie was better than i remembered. doesn't change that the plot sucks ass tho and that pt barnum's insufferable. zac efron and zendaya's subplot is pretty contrived and doesn't contribute much and honestly i hate the jenny lind arc too, but at least two absolute bops came out of them. rewrite the stars, the other side, and never enough >>>>>>>>>>>>> ngl rewrite the stars kinda got me hard this time around. something about it hurt.

3/10
(2+1)
0 bias points for the more, 2 bias points for the soundtrack, avg out to 1 bias point :DD

Materialist to the Nth degree

Script was bad BUT songs and dances are whole another world 😍 I'm gonna listen the songs on repeat. 🧡🧡🧡

circus daddy

Act 1 felt long and it took a sec to really get to where I wanted to be in the story but once I was there it was fun and I had a great time.

Tied with HSM for most superior musical

Update: just keep making musicals with Zac Efron honestly

If your drink three glasses of wine, this movie is very fun to watch. 

If you drink wine AND are a TikTok user, it’s even MORE fun to watch.

incoherent!

Esse musical "sacode" os meus sonhos, as músicas são perfeitas e atores tem raiz! A mensagem dele é bem clara pra mim e em alguns momentos de desesperança eu gosto de ouvir certas músicas só pra sentir aquela sensação boa que eu senti quando assiti e ouvi as músicas pela primeira vez! O rei do show é impecável desde os figurinos até a fotografia, eu gosto muito dele!

"A million dreams are keeping me awake"

the extra half star is for zendaya and for zendaya only

Frenetic.
