Good girl Sandy and greaser Danny fell in love over the summer. When they unexpectedly discover they're now in the same high school, will they be able to rekindle their romance? No offense to anyone who loves 'Grease' but after seeing it for the first time i found it quite meh and sure the songs and the settings for their time were pretty good no doubt about that but the acting from both Travolta and Newton-John were a bit meh, the whole premise of the film was kinda dull and boring and even the rest of the cast seemed of just being there and nothing more to it. Overall cool songs and something that i can listen to but as a film? It was rather disappointing and dull. (5/10)
When Grease first came out on the same day as Jaws 2 nearly 40 years ago, it broke records for a big budget musical on opening weekend at the box office yet it landed in 2nd place to the shark sequel. Luckily, Grease went on to become the most profitable film of that year and became the most popular musical film of all time, a record that it broke from Sound of Music which has been broken by Chicago (Oscar winner for best picture), and Disney's live action remake of Beauty and the Beast. A sequel was soon comissioned in 1982, and sadly it didn't do well as it was released on the same day as E.T. That year, Grease would come out on home video for the first time, with some minor changes from the theatrical release. In 1998, the film was reissued in a heavily remixed and digitally restored 35mm print to moderate success. It was also the first time that the movie was on DVD and then Blu-Ray. Thankfully this year, Paramount has gone back to the original 35mm negatives and the 70mm six track 4.2 audio to create the definitve Grease experience, which is now available on Itunes as well as DVD, Bluray, and 4k bluray. As for the movie itself, it's a classic. Based on a musical that ran on broadway and continued to run even when the movie was still in theatres, this movie tells the love story of two high school lovers in 1950s america. Both Olivia Newton John and John Travolta shine as well as Didi Cohn and others. Even though the movie is rated PG it's more aimed at teens than kids.
I've been in love with this movie ever since the first time that I saw it over a decade ago. It was a great classic then, and it's still a great classic now. I have all of these songs on my Spotify playlist and for good reason as they never get old. The first song and Greased Lightning are my favorite songs of the show, but it is a hard choice since all of the songs are amazing.This movie just makes me happy every time I watch it. I love the beginning scene with Danny and Sandy on the beach. I love how Sandy is introduced to the pink ladies. I love the ending of the movie and I love the sense of humor in the show. Sonny, Frenchy, and Rizzo are amazing supporting characters. No matter how sad I am- this movie puts a smile on my face. If you like musicals and romance movies, you are in for a treat.
Who doesn't like fun? Then, there is high school fun which no one can figure out either in that moment or later but it was fun never the less. Watching this movie brought back memories of just what happened in American high schools around the 50's and some. We are reminded of how much we knew and didn't know and the nagging thought decades later of how much more we could have done and didn't because we didn't know. The characters bring it all to life imitating what was going on at that time and making fun of it. The actors had a good time doing this movie making the viewers catch the afterglow of it all. Enjoy the songs which become not only memorable but sing-able too. Who hasn't sang at least one of them? Be honest here! When I heard they were going to do Grease 2, I couldn't wait only to watch it and realize that I should have waited. Very disappointing considering the first one and how high it left you when it ended. Good snack movie with a tasty drink...Grease is the word
