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

The worst movie I ever liked

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 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!

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 challenge anyone to go to this film and not end up tapping their feet along to the music. Singing and dancing at it's best. It's probably some of the best singing I've heard on screen, dare I say it... all year. And it was a perfect way to finish 2017. It's exciting, interesting, heartwarming... and if that isn't enough then there's Hugh Jackman spinning the ladies when they dance... *sigh*.

Big Names, Pop Songs and a flawed story: I didn't know they were remaking Mamma Mia!

Come for the music and stay for Hugh Jackman, the rest is irrelevant really.

everything this film aimed for was done better and classier by shrek the musical

OKAY first of all the "opera" singer never sang opera?? 
So I liked the movie at first and I liked the music for the most part and certain scenes stood out to me like the one with Zendaya and Zac Efron where they sing their duet but I realized how problematic the movie was because they sort of glorify and turn this man who started the whole effed up freak show thing into a hero when in reality he was a horrible man with horrible ideals.

Back when this was in theaters and I was first reading reviews, I could tell that it was the kind of thing that was right up my daughter's alley.

She said "no way" about 10 seconds into the first preview she saw.

Months later, once it was out on DVD, she was over at a friend's house and they watched it — and she embraced it.

One of my great parental triumphs was mentioning to her only once, and calmly, that maybe it's worth trusting me once in a while when I recommend a movie to her.

Anyway, now I've finally seen it, with my daughter for her fourth viewing, and she sang along to every song and told me to shut up when I predicted the tent, and it was totally cornball and totally great.

Lol Jackman is playing a man in his twenties and Michelle plays another sad sack in a wig.
