1. Zac Efron

I mean, look at him. He even sings in this movie— and I could NOT get enough of it.

2. The history

Most of this movie is extremely accurate as to how P.T. Barnum got his start, of course, not all of it is factual— but a lot of the movie portrays exactly how Barnum got his circus.

3. The soundtrack

Honestly, just take a listen. I can NOT get enough of this soundtrack. It is incredible!

4. Hugh Jackman

I mean, honestly, who knew he could sing?! I was enthralled during the whole movie.

5. Zendaya

Zendaya is so incredible in this movie. The artistry she brings to her character is absolutely wonderful.

6. The plot

The whole entire movie will have you sitting on the edge. I absolutely was drawn into the characters and plot the entire time.

7. The love story

Although this isn't completely historically accurate, I believe it adds just enough romantic love to the movie to make it interesting. Everyone loves a good love story-- and this love story in the movie does not disappoint.

8. The message the movie presents

The whole movie we learn that being different is okay. Even if you're different than other people you are around, and although some people may not like you-- that is okay. At the end of the day, you are always going to have people who love and support you no matter what you are like.

9. The dance numbers

With each wonderful song comes an even better dance number within this movie. Each musical number takes you on a different journey and adds an incredible artistical element to this movie. I loved each number and how much time as put into each song. It made for a truly incredible movie.

10. Did I mention the soundtrack?

I mean, really. You have got to give this soundtrack a listen.
