It's everything I ever wanted or needed in a musical. Hugh Jackman, as P.T. Barnum, invites the viewer to walk into a land of imagination and sprinkles in a dash of flawed human reality. I walked away, holding the cane of my own circus high and with a renewed hope that I could get through all circumstances, even ones I ran headstrong into screaming, "This is what I want!", only to find out that is wasn't what I needed. The critics missed the point of this movie. Maybe they have lost their ability to dream a bit. Buy into the dream and pay to be befuddled. Be wide-eyed for awhile and feel your heart tingle with the roller coaster of melodies and revelations that no matter where you come from in life...sometimes, you're the "bearded lady" in the room and sometimes you're the affluent spectator.

This is one of the most heartwarming Christmas movies Hallmark has ever put out.
