Review of Grease 2

To be honest, I’m really not a fan of Grease, and was forced to watch this against my will by my female housemates.
20 mins in to Grease 2 and I was swooning over Michael Carrington (Maxwell Caulfield) Sandy’s English cousin, come to study at Rydell High.
The totally predictable and opposite storyline from Grease is played out amidst some rather raunchy sung innuendos in catchy sing along tunes. Bad girl Stephanie Zinone (Michelle Pfeiffer) soon catches the eye of poor puppy eyes Micheal and he sets about to become cool enough to be accepted by the T-birds and win Stephanie’s heart.

Cheese oozes from every scene, but the cast know that and that’s its charm.
I warmed to all of the characters massively more so than the first film with their cheeky fun loving gum chewing charm and tapped my feet smiling throughout.

It’s always going to be a marmite of a film. But if you’re looking for a girly bit of fun, this could be your perfect answer to a great karaoke night in.
