Before I get into the blog I’m taking the title from my favorite TV show NCIS. The central character Gibbs lives by a set of rules and I’m rather fond of that one. As you read on, it’ll make since.
Let’s talk musicals. Generally speaking I am not a fan of them. I tend to avoid them like the plague. I did’t care for Into the Woods. I hated LaLa Land. There are exceptions. I will always stand up to dance the time warp and proudly add my voice to the chorus. Across the Universe and The King & I also tend to be exceptions.
Tonight I had one hell of a time watching The Greatest Showman. The film follows P.T. Barnum as he creates his now legendary circus. Hugh Jackman was a natural in the lead role!
The film is a lot of fluff and is overall a feel good movie. What makes this film work is the fact that it is a musical. The songs are catchy and the dance routines are entertaining as hell to watch. All n’ all it works incredibly well! The movie is a blast to watch and I walked out smiling with a song or two stuck in my head.
In this case I’m glad I’m wrong. I’m glad I saw this movie. For more entertaining films like this I’m happy to be wrong again.
