Over the summer, good girl Sandy and greaser Danny have a great summer romance. When the school season comes back in session, Sandy has moved to the same school as Danny, Rydell High (if there was a drinking game for everytime they say the school name, you’d be plastered within the first fifteen minutes). She joins the crew called ‘The Pink Ladies,’ a female group of girls who wear all pink. Danny’s in a group called the T-Birds. When Sandy sees that Danny isn’t the same sweetheart that she fell in love with over the course of the summer, their chances to rekindle their romance doesn’t seem so likely.
Grease is a stylish musical based in 1950’s California that has an above average romance story and great catchy tunes.
The actors in this are good, especially Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta.
The songs make you want to do a little jig, and you can sing along to them endlessly.
While it is great, it isn’t perfect, because it is a bit lengthy for a musical. Also, the actors are in their 20’s and are playing high school students. Because of this, there’s a sort of lack of realism.
Though, it does use its fairly simple plot of young love to its advantage. The message that it offers is not to be fake and just be yourself (well, at least that’s how I interpret it).
It’s all sure to put a smile on your face and just give you a great feeling after it’s all over with, you’ll be singing the songs days after watching, especially if you really enjoyed the film.
It really leaves a wonderful lasting expression, it is entertaining and sure is charming. For a musical, it really is worth checking out.
Score: 80/100

Grease! 😀 Goin’ wayyyyy back for this one, huh? LOL
The soundtrack is probably better than the movies, but like you say, the songs’ll keep you into it.
Great tunes though. 😀
LOL, way back 😀
What, you do not appreciate Stockard Channing’s crows feet?
Lol, crows feet? What do you mean?
Counterintuitive to the name, it has nothing to do with feet. It’s the lines at the corner of the eyes that show up when you smile or squint. Teenagers typically don’t have them. It’s called crows feet because the wrinkles start at the corner of the eye and radiate out–looking like a crow’s feet.
Thanks for that, I love when people comment and teach me things lol.
