The Greatest Showman: a movie review by 9-year-old MissObservation

Hi everybody! Welcome! My name is Phoenix and today I’m going to be talking about the movie called, The Greatest Showman. Overall I thought this movie was ok. The reasons why I liked it was because there were a lot of cool dance moves. The second reason why I liked it was because there were a lot and a lot of good songs in this movie, partly because it’s a musical. And the third reason why I liked this movie is because it teaches you a really good lesson.

The reasons why I did not like this movie was because half of the movie was really sad. The second part why I did not like this movie was because there was a lot of kissing and romance. Bleh. The third part that I did not like about this movie was because my grandma told me, in order to make the animals do all these tricks in the circus they have to be very very mean to them. Like, they have to poke them, or whip them to do the tricks. And I don’t like it when people hurt animals, especially elephants.

So there were two really sad parts. The first sad part was when one of the guys I liked, he got hurt really badly in a fire. And the second really sad part was when the greatest showman guy, his wife left him because there was a huge misunderstanding.

One of my favorite parts about this movie was the lesson it taught you, which is, just because someone is different than you, for example, the bearded lady, doesn’t mean you have to make fun of them. And that happened a lot in this movie.

So, overall I think this movie is ok. I would not take your little little kids to see this movie because there’s a little bit of bad language, a lot of romance, and this movie is pretty sad. But, if you like musicals, that have a lot of singing and dancing then I think you might like this movie. So yeah, that’s pretty much my review for the movie called, The Greatest Showman. Thank you for watching. I’ll see you next time. Goodbye everybody!
