Review of Grease

Review

I just watched Grease for the first time. It may seem a bit odd that I hadn't seen it before now, but I have never really sought it out and it was just there on TV today. I've come across the songs in many, many places before and frankly I thought they were too annoying. Now, onto the actual review..

What the heck?! I really wonder why this is such a popular film. Bad music, bad dancing, "teenagers" played by people close to thirty, a crap storyline, and filled with really cheesily classic American "culture". It seems to have a message of "change the way you are to get people to love you" which frankly comes across quite silly. It's at the top of plenty of "best musical" lists and I have to say that there are plenty of better ones.

I'm glad I got watching that out of the way. Never again...

4/10

I saw this for the first time myself a few years back, and didn't care to watch it, only did because a colleague at work owned it and insisted that it was the best musical ever.

Can't say I cared for the movie.
The actors were not well cast - mostly because of the age. But otherwise, Travolta is pretty decent, probably the best of the Grease 'lot' if I may say so.
Very cheesy American culture indeed.

And yes, there are plenty more musicals that are much better.

I, like you, won't care to see it for a second time.
I didn't and won't even bother to watch Saturday Night Fever!
