Summary: Good, But Very Overrated
Review: This is a fun, energetic musical, but hardly a masterpiece of any sort. The plot is predictable, and if you think about, sends a disturbing message about how popularity is more importent then being your own person. The fabulous cast helps the movie greatly, but several of them are way too old for the characters their playing. I'd say the best parts of the movie are the songs, including "Summer Nights," "Gresed Lightning," and "Your the One That I Want," and the cameos by stars of the 1950's like Eve Arrden and Frankie Avalon. This movie is worth seeing, but it is not one of the all time best musicals.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: fantastic movie
Review: the best movie i have ever seen

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Overall Outstanding Movie
Review: I loved the movie Grease by just watching it once. It related a lot to what I was going through in High School. I never thought a mucsical would be that good. I loved all the characters and thier personalities. The music was the best part of the whole musical. Overall, I would recommend everyone to watch the movie Grease!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: my favorite movie!
Review: catchy tunes, typical high school lif

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good movie, Loses in transfer from stage
Review: I used to be totally in love with this movie, but then I was in the stage production. To my surprise, the stage production is a lot different, and a lot better than the movie! There is a loss of, what I think were the best songs in the play ("Mooning," "Shakin' at the High School Hop," "Those Magic Changes,' just to name a few)! I can't watch Grease anymore without thinking of it's potential as is was on the stage.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Wop-Bob-A-Lou-Bop-Dud
Review: Overblown, overlong, and over-acted film, with the original stage show considerably re-vamped and re-written to appeal to the same audience that made t.v.'s Happy Days a ratings hit. Most ridculous of all, the entire cast of "highschool age students" is about ten years too old to pass for teenagers.

Travolta & Newton-John are generally appealing, Stockard Channing is a winner, and cameos by the likes of Eve Arden and Alice Ghostly are charming, but the over-age cast largely robs the film of anything approaching youthful engery and zest. Truly tired film lacking excitment in every possible way.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Back in Print-An unforgettable Rock'n'Roll Musical!
Review: After a fun filled summer at the beach, Danny Zuko (John Travolta) and Sandy Olsen (Olivia Newton-John) sadly part. Surprisingly, they are reunited at High School in the fall. This film is wonderful, filled with rock music. I love the scene at the end at the carnival when they were dancing to You're the One that I want. What a happy song. Forget about Grease2. This one is by far Much Better.--Robert Metz

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Amazing fun but concerns about the ending
Review: I have loved this movie for all of my 25 years of life and anticipate I will always feel this way.

I was disappointed though when the movie was re-relased in the mid-90's because I read reviews (Siskel, I think, for example) that were 3 out of 4 stars and said the movie was "over the top." I was stunned. To me, this movie is a visual and musical pleasure that has always been an event when it was shown on TV.

It is so funny because it spoofs how men and women are totally contradictory when it comes to talking about the opposite sex with their friends. While John Travolta talks about "getting friendly in the sand", Olivia Newton-John talks about staying out 'til 10-o'clock and drinking lemonade.

I do have one concern, though: what this movie is suggesting about what it takes to fit in. I'm sure it's not just a change in dress, hair, and make-up but also in attitude. Is one supposed to become "looser" (as a previous reviewer put it)?

Anyway, Travolta and Newton-John are gorgeous in their youth and play such appealingly simple (meaning non-deceitful, non-complex) characters. They do it all--sing, dance, act--with exuberance. Their teaming is so inspired that they get together again in the movie "Two of a Kind", which was panned.

I really enjoy the music written just for the movie ("Sandy", "You're the One That I Want", etc.). I prefer them to the music written for the play but omitted in the movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the classics!
Review: I think this movie is such a fun representative of life "back in the day". Who would have thought that you could make a movie simply about a group of kids going through their senior year of school. It is a classic American tale.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This movie is great.....I give it all the stars in the sky!
Review: I think Grease is great! The best part of the movie would have to be John Travolta. He is so gorgeous and I would give all the stars in the sky to meet him some day. Im 20 years old and I swear someday I will meet him. Anyways, back to the movie.... I love it so much I could watch it every day! (i pretty much do). I do try to fit in my other 20-30 John Travolta movies! I highly reccomend everyone to buy this movie and enjoy!
