Summary: It's about a goody girl and a cool boy who fall in love.
Review: This movie is very capturing and interesting. The songs are catchy and they have a twist in them. In my opinion, this movie should come out in theaters again.

Summary: The ULTIMATE movie of the century!!!
Review: This movie is a "must-see" for people of all ages. It goes through the emotions of life changes, keeping your image, making friends, and falling in love. In my own opinion, GREASE is the greatest movie off all time, and once you watch it, you'll agree.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: An appealing idea for the best musicals of all times
Review: This collector's edition includes the video with the movie and interviews with the cast, the original script and a picture CD which has the "Grease Mega Mix", a disco mix with the songs "You're the one that I want", "Grease Lightnin" and "Summer Nights". It is an interesting gift idea if you know a "Grease" fan, but all the fantastic music from the original soundtrack is missing; so if you are looking for the music, refrain from this one and get the soundtrack CD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Grease is my absolute favorite movie!
Review: I love, love, love this movie. It is the best one I've ever seen in my life. And yes, I have seen Titanic. Mail me if you have any comments. END

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Greasy John isn't my cup of grease
Review: As an Australian I find this movie extremely offensive. Why should Sandie have to change and become a greasy fat rude American. She should haved stay the way she was I reckon.

There's a line in this movie about eating sh*t...I agree.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Grease lightning!
Review: (...)

Anyway, "Grease" is one of my favorite movies. It's just one of those timeless gems that will never die (can't say the same for the sequel, though). Every song is a joy and the film couldn't have been casted any better. John Travolta, Olivia Newton-John, Stockard Channing; all involved give indelibly charming performances. A lot of great films came out of the 70's (The Godfather, A Clockwork Orange, Taxi Driver, Chinatown, Jaws, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, etc., etc...) but "Grease" is still able to hold it's own after all these years. A quintessential film to add to your collection.

As far as the DVD goes, well... it's typical of Paramount to stiff us with what could have been a solid release. If you take into account that almost everyone who buys the disc already knows all the songs and dialogue by heart, the studio could have done lots of fun things with the material. Alas, we only get a songbook (which is admittedly kinda cool) and a documentary. Oh, yeah. And a theatrical trailer. How rare. *scoffs*

A half-assed effort to bring "Grease" to a great medium notwithstanding, I'd highly recommend buying this.

"Summer lovin'... had me a bla-haaast..."

Summary: I love this movie
Review: Firstly because it reminds me of a carefree and happy time in my life. I saw this in the summer of 1978 when I was 12 years old and the only thing I had to worry about was making sure I didn't have any overdue library books, keeping the lawn mowed and starting ninth grade in the fall. Secondly because there's some great pop music in this movie, _Hopelessy Devoted to You_ is one of the best pop songs about unrequited attraction ever written. Thirdly because of the subtext of this movie, the lesson this movie teaches you is that in order to get ahead you have to be a slut, just look at the way Olivia Newton John (who was 30 when this movie was made) turns from a good girl at the beginning of the movie into a leather trouser wearing slut at the end. Fourthly I love this movie because all of the actors in it are so obviously too old to be in high school. I figured as a kid that this was because the lead paint factory at the town of Rydell was dumping a lot of stuff into the water supply in those halcyon, pre-EPA days of the 1950s and the resulting heavy metal poisoning made the children of Rydell somewhat slow, which was why they were all still in high school even though they were in their late 20s and early 30s.
