owen gleiberman of "variety" gave the film a positive review, writing, ""the greatest showman" is a concoction, the kind of film where all the pieces click into place, yet at an hour and 45 minutes it flies by, and the link it draws between p.t. barnum and the spirit of today is more than hype." richard roeper of the "chicago sun-times" gave the film 3/4 stars, saying, "with all that corn and cheese and old-timey sentiment, "the greatest showman" ends up scoring some very timely social arguments. p.t. barnum himself would have approved the dramatic sleight of hand." steve persall of "tampa bay times" gave the film an 'a', and said, ""the greatest showman" is the feel-good movie the holiday season needs," while william bibbiani of ign gave "the greatest showman" a score of 7.9/10, and called the film, "wildly entertaining."
