The Greatest Showman Honest Trailer Reminds You How Great The Songs Are, How Lame The Story Is

This is the greatest show!" sings P.T. Barnum, personified by Hugh Jackman, in the crowdpleasing musical The Greatest Showman. And for many, it was. But as usual, the hard-hearted cynics at ScreenJunkies have to sharpen their knives and dig into the big screen musical, celebrating the music while pointing out that the songs are the best -- only? -- reason to give this movie a go. Right off the bat, the ScreenJunkies spoof takes aim at the target demographic for The Greatest Showman: Theater nerds. And without question, the Michael Gracey-directed tentpole was aimed squarely at people who dial into showstopping musical numbers. On that note, the film absolutely delivered. As the Honest Trailer jokes, you almost get to a point in The Greatest Showman where you want characters played by Hugh Jackman and Michelle Williams to STOP talking so that we can get to the next winning musical number (from the creative team behind La La Land).
