I’d assume that’s a fair assumption given he employed these people due to their diffeeences with the average person rather than having a particular skill set?

It was better than I expected and better than most family films I’ve seen lately

Critics didn't like it because it wasn't historically accurate.

Lots of musicals aren’t historically accurate

What's the real story here? The guy didn't accept the people he was hiring?

Rotten Tomatoes suggests it's because the movie tiptoes around Barnum's
