The Greatest Show on Earth

Rating: 1/5

Literally couldn’t look at the screen for a large portion of the movie due to all the animal scenes. It’s shocking that it took until so recently for animals to be banned from the circus.

I will say this movie has an impressive train crash, and that, compared to some of the other bottom of the barrel Oscar winners, the story for The Greatest Show on Earth does have an ever so slightly more compelling story, but that doesn't make up for the other hundreds of factors that make this movie so bad.

Also, Jimmy Stewart looks terrifying as a clown.
