It’s an undeniable crowdpleaser, a rousing, big-budget musical studded with stars and packed with spectacle. It’s also a deeply problematic biopic that plasters over its subjects most heinous offenses with HEY LOOK AT THE DANCING AND SMILES AND LISTEN TO THOSE CATCHY SONGS! It’s The Greatest Showman, a movie full of highs and oh-nos-you-didn’t.

Honest Trailers gives a suitably spectacular, complete with a clever, historically accurate rewrite of The Greatest Showman’s showstopping numbers.
