The Greatest Showman Review: 5 Ups & 4 Downs

4. The Catchy, Energetic Songs

The Greatest Showman's soundtrack isn't full of songs destined to be heralded as classics decades from now, but they do serve their purpose as catchy, energetic, bubblegum pop tunes that suitably accompany the flashy visuals.

The movie's signature song, "This is Me", is a persistent earworm that comes complete with an especially memorable dance routine, and is most certain to score a Best Original Song Oscar nomination (if not the win outright).

Again, there aren't any needlessly dreary, depressing or overly sappy songs: most of them are upbeat and easy to listen to, even if the majority might not leave a majorly lasting impression.
