I would like give this mess zero stars. No one in it can act. The hero of the tale has a bad haircut and thinks shouting, snarling, grappling to be the Alpha Male are substitutes for acting ability. Take away the miserable, unfocused computer enhanced special effects, and you're left with nothing. Remember that all avenging foot from Monty Python? I wish it splatter all the noisy young heroes of the film

Other critics here have said it better than I ever could, but here is an overlong endless parade of self-doubt and self-pity. I feel sorry for the poor souls who identify with Stiller's character. And what is so great about today's HARVARD, whose racial profiling is self-defeating, unjust, and disgusting.. And why would any parent bankrupt himself/herself to send a child top such a jumped up school? And with Stiller's character, what sort of friend is jealous of other friends' success? Envy is not pretty or funny.

I'd rather go to the dentist for root canal work than watch this ugly monstrosity again. From an historical point of view, it has nothing to do with the long dead, great PT Barnum. The banshee music, the hip hop (why no break-dancing!), was like repeated vulgar mob scenes we see daily on TV news was about as Victorian as an electric toothbrush. I was particularly disgusted by the gyrations of the bovine bearded lady. Once again Hollywood insinuates "Inclusiveness" into our wilting brains, brainwashing at its best. Avoid like the plague.
