Pros: Fun, entertaining movie. Cons: Silly at times. Cast was a bit old.
It use to be very common for successful Broadway musicals to be turned into movies. Many of those movies were also very successful, with some of them even winning Oscars. Grease< b>< i> was the last movie version of a musical to be successful ...
Pros: A very entertaining musical which appeals to nostalgia fans Cons: Good grief -- Disco!; sends and absolutely horrible message; cast is a bit old
This is one of my wife's favorite films and, indeed, I loved it as a kid. Heck, I still enjoy it, even though the film has a ton of problems. Amazingly, it succeeds in spite of sending a horrible message, casting folks too old to play high school...
Pros: Catchy soundtrack. Stockard Channing. Cons: World's oldest high school students.
Following our Italian adventures, the European location unit for Goodfollies had one final stop before returning home to the United States and studio work. We all headed off to Barcelona for a few days. Here, we shot the most elaborate of the...
Pros: plot; chemistry; acting; soundtrack Cons: suspend disbelief over ages; Sandy has to change in order to get respect
Plot SummaryGrease is a musical about a bad boy (John Travolta as Danny) who falls for a good girl (Olivia Newton-John as Sandy). They meet over the summer and see each other again at school during their senior year. While they are ...
Pros: Songs, direction. Cons: Pretty fluffy and unimportant, and the actors are too old for their parts.
The musical genre was in the basement during the seventies, eighties, and nineties, until the apparent renaissance of such films like Moulin Rouge and Chicago. Back in the good old days, all sorts of musicals were hits, and award-winners, and even in...
Pros: Catchy songs. Chemistry between main characters. I love it. Cons: Sandy's poor self-esteem. Rizzo's promiscuity.
Have you ever considered the fact that Grease may very well be a bad influence on children? Don’t get me wrong. Grease is one of my guilty pleasures in life (as a rule, I generally hate musicals). But I’ll bet you’ve never thought of it this way:...
Pros: Music, John Travolta, Olivia Newton-John Cons: Repulsive Topics, Scenes, Drinking, Smoking and Sex Among Teenagers
Grease does not impress me at all in the movie form. While the soundtrack is really wonderful and I have enjoyed it for many years, this is the first time that I actually sat here and watched the actual movie from start to finish.
Pros: Decent storyline, decent acting, nice songs Cons: A bit cheesy really !
Before I start this review I will let you know now that I love this film and have loved it since I first saw it when I was just a child. I saw the DVD on sale at £5 (about $8) and had to buy it as I remembered the fun I used to have singing along to my ...
Pros: A unique film that is highly entertaining from beginning to end. Cons: Lack of attention to characterisation, casting flaws, score has dated badly.
Grease was a musical stage show published in 1968. A sort of response to the hippy generation if you will. Where everyone else was getting high, listening to Bob Dylan and The Rolling Stones and protesting against the Vietnam War, along came a ...
Pros: catchy songs, John Travolta Cons: just how old was Stockard Channing when she played a teenager??
This movie came out when I was 13. My best friend Debbie & I went to see it, & ended up staying all day, watching it again & again. Seven times on Saturday, six on Sunday. I'm surprised we didn't get caught.....we'd hide in the bathrooms...
I can remember going to see Grease when it first came out in theaters. Both my sister and I loved this movie, we even bought the soundtrack. We knew every single word to every single song and what was going on in the movie when they played that song. To...
Pros: great story line, great music, great movie! Cons: not as appropriate for kids as I used to think
Wow...I can't even remember when I saw this movie for the first time, but I know I was pretty young. Even as a kid, I thought John Travolta was pretty cute! For someone who really loves musicals, singing, and dancing anyway - this is absolutely my...
My husband and I were watching "Grease" for about the hundredth time in our five years of being together and I thought . "Wow , this would make a great epinion." So here I go. I can say that most of the general population has seen this musical movie...
Pros: A movie that is both musical and funny at the same time. Cons: None.
The first time watching this movie was when it came out in the summer of 1978 when I went to see it at a local theatre. I really enjoyed watching this movie and the music was soooo awesome!
Olivia Newton-John, John Travolta, and Stockard...
Pros: a real feel good movie! Cons: a little risque
What can I say...... This is my all-time favorite movie! From scene number one to lightening driving into the clouds, I barely blink my eyes. My familyhas even gotten into thespirit of this movie with me. The first time my kids watched it, they laughed...
"Grease" is the biggest grossing musical of all time. If you account for inflation, it would probably rank second or third, behind "The Sound of Music" and maybe "My Fair Lady". The enormous success of the film extended to...
Pros: Sweet love story......great music.....wonderful actors Cons: nothing
I have always loved this movie. Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta were fantastic and you definitely could tell that there was a certain chemistry going on between them. This came forth in all their scenes together.
The rest of the cast was...
Pros: Entertaining for the whole family Cons: none
IT'S GREASE LIGHTNIN'!
I love this movie. It possesses a certain kind of clean, fun, entertainment. It's a wonderful musical with loads of
unforgettable songs. In all total I bet I watched this movie at least a Gazillion times, and...
Pros: Fun exercise in nostalgia Cons: has a neon sign that says "Not to Be Taken Too Seriously"
Time has been kind to Grease. The darned thing about made me sick in 1978. Every time I turned on the radio, I heard Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta warbling some song from the monster-hit soundtrack. And when I finally saw the movie, I was suitably...
Pros: Funny spoof songs, great fun for all! Cons: Missing some great songs from stage version.
I love this film, but it is altered from the stage version. Don't expect too much in the way of plot, because it caters to the music. The songs were written first, and then a story was written to fit them together (as I read in a Playbill once). The...
Pros: Great music, plot, dancing, acting.... Cons: None
This is one of those movies that never really goes out of date. It is the time honored story of good girl falls in love with bad boy. I think all the good girls out there can relate. What wouldn't we do for the man of our dreams? How many of our...
Pros: Great music and John Travolta! Cons: None that I can think of
"I got chills....they're multiplying. And I'm losing control..." I must tap my toes. I must groove with the music. I've gotta get up and dance! Grease is just that kind of musical. It's one of those shows where every song performed is a catchy,...
Pros: A timeless score; boundless energy; an appealing cast. Cons: These old-looking people are in high school?
Twenty years after its initial theatrical release, Randal Kleiser's film of the '50s-set stage musical Grease is just as popular, if not moreso, than it was in 1978. How can such a cinematic trifle have such enduring appeal? Quite simply, this...
Pros: Down to earth and makes you feel good. So wonderful after all these years Cons: some adult situations
I saw "Grease" for the first time when I was maybe 4 or 5 years old. Yet every time that the movie comes on TBS or any channel, I keep my paws off of the remote. This is truly a feel good movie and one of the best ever.
Pros: Travolta, Music is fun. Cons: Movie is lightweight.
Ahhhh how times change and how you change with them. If I was reviewing Grease 4 or 5 years ago when I was still in High School I would have given it 5 stars on the Epinions scale and called it a great movie. But now that those days are gone I'm not so...
Grease reminds me of my days in high school. Riding down the strip (as we called it) from one teen hangout to another one and back again. Making new friends and hanging out with old friends at the last great beach party before school started.
Pros: Fun songs, fun actors Cons: It's a pleasure but a very guilty one
Only in the 90's are we fully beginning to appreciate this 70's movie about the 50's. Grease is a cult favorite that appeals to everyone from teenagers to nostalgic baby boomers, even people like me who aren't too fond of musicals. So what's the...
Pros: John Travolta of course! Cons: Poor beginning to set up the story
Oh, Danny! Oh, Sandy! John Travolta and Olivia Newton John do excellent replay of this Broadway play. Of course I love John in everything, so I expected nothing less from him.
The plot takes us back to the days of poodle skirts and drag racing....
Grease! Oh how I love this movie! It was 1978, my sister and some friends went to the theater and watched this hit film. John Travolta and Olivia Newton John, large as life, on the BIG SCREEN.
I wasn't the same after seeing this movie. I was...
Pros: Two little words: John Travolta! Also, the songs are great and the actors play great characters. It is well written Cons: None, (unless you count Grease 2)
Wow! Grease is one of the greatest musicals of our time, and why shouldn't it be? It is so much fun! The songs are all great and the cast is... wow, undescribable. Every actor and actress does a wonderful job. Never can another musical come along...
Pros: interesting costume, slang, situations Cons: a bit suggestable for younger audiences, a little cheesy(but in a good way)
Grease is no doubt an American classic. The costumes, attitudes, and situations are true to the era in which the movie is set, . The dress of the characters is great- very true to the time. It almost makes one wish America had never left the poodle skirt...
Pros: You will walk away singing Cons: The story requires very little thought, but that might be a pro on a lazy day
Grease is the story of Sandy (Olivia Newton-John) and Danny (John Travolta), two young lovers who meet at the beach during summer vacation. Because they do not have to deal with peer pressure, they are able to enjoy one another's company and kindle a...
I could watch this movie every day and never get tired of it. In fact, its fun to see John Travolta do that part now that he's grown and changed so much. He was such a cutie in this movie. And Olivia Newton John....what a girl...she did VERY WELL...
Pros: Great dancing and songs. Cons: you were not able to see what happened after high school.
High School years that everyone will always remember. Dates with that one special person that is cool. Staying up late with the girls, making your senior year the best year, chasing boys, and worrying about not having a date for a big school event. All...
Pros: all-star cast, great songs and lines Cons: some references to the 50s that the younger generation may not get
I am 14 years old and must have seen "Grease" well over 200 times. I went through a phase where everything was about "Grease". And no wonder, considering that it is one of the best musicals I have ever seen. With stars like John...
I can still remember the first time I saw Grease. I was 8 years old, and it was summer time. It was super hot that day, and I gave up a swim
in our neighbor's pool to see it. From the minute I sat down I was transformed. After that day I wanted...
I will never forget the first time I saw this movie in the theaters! It was the first "grown-up" movie I was allowed to see. My aunt and uncle took me with my brother. And I was star-struck. I wanted to dance with Danny (John Travolta) and...
Pros: Great music, dancing, and just plain FUN Cons: nothing
It's got groove it's got meaning....
This is my all time favorite summer movie. I have seen it over 400 times since it came out in 1978. I was 16 when it originally started at the movie theater. I went because I had a MAJOR crush on John...
This movie came out in the mid seventies,I remember so well cause me and my sister went to my friend lisa belchers birthday party and we all went tom the movies and saw this on the big screen...
When it came on I knew I loved Danny Zuko and it was a...
Pros: Never get tired of watching this movie! Cons: Olivia Newton John is tooo skinny!
I remember my parents taking me to see this at the drive-in when it first came out, it was instantly my favorite movie of all times! Now I am 28 and my 4 year old daughter just loves it! We all know the whole movie by heart.
Although they do deal...
Pros: great voices, great camera shots, good characters Cons: some might think it's out dated
I think everyone has seen this movie, rather because they heard it was good, or because it has a big title. I think that guys are a lot like Danny trying to look good if front of their friends. In all reality when you are in love that doesn't matter....
John Travolta and Olivia Newton John are absolutely fabulous in Grease.
Sometimes, as in the case of Godspell, moving from stage to screen just loses the magic. But the chemistry between the demure blond girl and the street guy is just magical....
There are a few movies that make you go All Right! when you scan TV Guide or your Cable guide. Grease is the kind of movie that everybody likes but about half of us actually admit it. The songs are catchy, the dialogue predictable but enjoyable and the...
Pros: great music, high energy Cons: poor storyline , but who cares!?
Originally launched in 1978, this popular film was re-introduced in 1998 to a whole new generation of moviegoers. Based on the mighty successful musical from Broadway, GREASE was followed in 1980 with the less stellar GREASE 2, starring a young Michelle...
Pros: Great music, fun movie. Cons: The ending made me sad........
Grease has got to be my favorite musical of all time. It may not be the best in terms of quality, though the music is incredible, and it may be extremely cliche, but, in the end, Grease is just plain FUN.
i watched it because i liked the previews that i seen on television i think it is a good movie with lots of singing and dancing, i like this show better than others because it shows good actors doing all kinds of different moves from dancing to singing...
The first time that I remember watching Grease was at a little theater downtown in 1983. I loved it then, and I still love to watch it today. Even my kids have watched it over and over and haven't gotten tired of it.
Pros: Music, actors, plot. Cons: cast a bit old, picture quality.
Let me start off by saying what a great movie this is. For my seventh birthday my aunt gave me the movie and the soundtrack and ever since I have been in love with it. Some people may argue that the material isn't appropriate for children (sex is...
Pros: catchy music and dances, charismatic cast, witty and lots of fun Cons: none that I can think of
I was on 5th grade when I first saw "Grease" and it became my all time favorite film. Now, fast-forward 6 years. I still love the movie, but it has taken on new meanings and become special to me in a different way.
Pros: Everybody Knows Cons: How can you even ask me that?
Olivia Newton, John Travolta singing and dancing how can you not love this. I think that everyone who grew up in the 80's has fond memories of the movie Grease. I remember playing the album every day and dancing all over the living room. I still to...
As bad as "Grease 2" is, this movie is simply great! It's got high octane music ("You're the One That I Want", "Greased Lightning"), good looking actors, albeit 20 and 30 something actors playing high school students, and...
Pros: Cast, Score, Direction, Memorable Characters, Screenplay Cons: Weak Finale
Movie Review: Grease
Overall Grade: A
Plot: Danny Zucko and Sandy Dumbroski met on a beach, and fell in love instantly. Unfortunely, Sandy and her parents have to move back to Sydney Australia, breaking up their...
I first saw this movie years ago and after watching it about 12 times I decided to buy it. I buy very few movies but this one I could watch a hundred times and never tire of.
John Travolta has always been a favorite from the time I first...
Pros: Musical with great songs and a star-studded cast. Cons: None
Even to this day I would have to say that Grease is my all-time favorite musical. From the time that I first watched it in the movie theatres during my teenage years, this movie is a classic to be enjoyed my all age groups and is a lot of fun to watch....
Pros: Good acting, some fun parts, some very good songs on the soundtrack. Cons: Language, sexual innuendo, peer pressure, some NASTY songs on the soundtrack!
When I was a teenager, of course it was hip to watch "Grease". It was considered a classic, and to us, it was relevant in many ways. But I had not yet come to know the Lord when I was a teenager, and looking at it now I realize just how foul this...
Pros:John Travolta, Olivia Newton-John, the music Cons: Nothing
My girlfriend loves this movie and made me sit down and watch it with her. When it first came on I was skeptical. I don't usually like musicals, but I was pleased with the movie.The story is that Danny Zuko and Sandy Olsson meet one another on ...
What can I say about this movie other then it is my favorite movie of all times.
The basic storyline is known to all but I will repeat it. Good Girl meets Bad Boy on a Summer Holiday. Girl is suppost to go home to Australlia, boy goes back to...
Watching Grease almost makes me wish I would have grown up in the Fifties.
I love the music and Olivia Newton John has a great voice. John Travolta is so cute in this movie. They click together great and made a great movie. I like the fact that it...
Pros: John Travolta is the star, what more do you need? Cons: Nothing!
I have to say that this is my all time favorite movie! I know that may seem extreme to a lot of people, but I have been watching this movie ever since I was a little girl. I ever got to see it at the Drive In theatre when it was released. I am an avid...
Grease is one of the all time classic movies. It stars Olivia Newton John, whom is a beautiful singer and great actress. Her co-star is John Travolta. We all know what a cute, talented man he is. But these are not the only two actors. The cast is full of...
Grease is one of the best, limited videos you can buy today! it doesn't matter what kind of movie you like. There is some action, and tons of drama and singing,and dancing! I also have the CD, which is magnificant! Grease is a movie that my whole...
Pros: others seem to like it Cons: immoral, bad acting
If you are bored this is a great movie. Otherwise the acting stinks, the music has much to be desired, the story line teaches terrible morals, and the acting need some help. Let's focus on the acting first. First of all the thirty year old looking...
I saw Grease for the first time in 1978. Since then I have seen it about 400 to 500 times.I have lost count.I do know that my daughter bought me a new edition of it for Christmas cause my old one has worn out. The music is exciting and makes you want to...
I enjoy watching this movie anytime. My nine year old son even likes this movie! The movie has a star-studded cast (although I guess they weren't such "big" stars back then) and a very talented one too. I've always been a huge John Travolta...
Pros: Good Movie For Kids Cons: Loose Acting Abilities
The most appealing aspect from the movie Grease has to be its soundtrack. With the exception of the few songs that carry the movie, all else is lost. For example; can ANYONE, who actually remembers the 1950's, recall a time when they saw someone...
For those who want to watch a great movie that you'll never get tired of, Grease is the movie for you. I own the movie and have seen it hundreds of times. But, no matter how many times I watch it, I can't get enough of it. It's just one of those...
Pros: Great Actors and Actresses Very Interesting Story Cons: None Coming from me
Well this is a very good movie. It makes me think of all the times my brother and I stayed in his Bronco just singing the sound track. That was so up lifting, even now when I think about it it brightens my day and makes me laugh... thinking of how much...
Pros: pg rated, great for the family, great couple movie Cons: not long enough
Grease is the word, and I am hopelessly devoted to it. I saw it last night in the movie theater for the first time, and it cannot compare to watching it at home on your itty bitty little television set! The story of Danny and Sandy brings back your own...
Who has never heard of this movie? Probably just about everyone in the world has heard of this movie. Which proves my point that this movie is absolutely amazing.
First of all, if John Travolta, the hottie that he is, stars in this movie than...
Pros: Classical Masterpiece full of aspects of every sort of movie. A movie lovers dream. Cons: Anti-Music lovers may not attempt to watch and will miss out on a great flick.
Grease is a romantic comedy/ musical, enjoyable to even none musical lovers. If you love a good comedy with a basis of a love plot, you'll love Grease. Even to all you anti-musical fans out there, with Grease there's no going wrong. With a theme set...
Pros: Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta Cons: The sanitized script
From what I understand, the stage play is much, much grittier and more sexually-charged. Even during a second and third viewing of this film, all I could think of was how sanitized it was, compared to what I'd heard about the Broadway version. Things...
Pros: I like how they make it like teenagers really are. Cons: I like everything
I love this movie it is the best. I know every word of it and can sing all the songs. It is romantic and shows how guys are always trying to act kewl in front of thier friends instead of acting like he should. It is about teenagers being immature and it...
Pros: The perfect movie for when you want to watch something but don't know what. Cons: No cons-it's all good
Grease is still the word. One of the classic musicals of all times, Grease is PG fun for the whole family, though the kids might ask, "what's with the funny skirts and that dance they do with their hands?"
Pros: Great Songs, Great Actors Cons: Really more for adults.
Grease has to be one of my all time favorite musicals. I know the words to the songs. I can say the words with the cast. The daily life of teenagers in the 50's and 60's is explored. Of course, you have to remember this movie is for laughter, ...
Pros: Comedy, Drama, and Music mixed well into one love story. Cons: My Opinion: Not suitable for children under 10 due to sex-related material.
John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John star as 'Danny' and 'Sandy' in this musical love story about a 1950's hot-shot stud who must work to keep his phony reputation in tact in front of his friends and the girl he loves. When 'Sandy' finds that the loving ...
I absolutly love this movie. It's been a favorite of mine for years! When I was a little girl and heard John Travolta singing "your the one that I want" I just about fainted!
Olivia and John make a wonderful duo about two teenager...
Pros: This is a great movie if you like old fashion movies. Cons: If you don't like old fashioned movies then you won't like Grease.
Danny meets Sandy during the summer and now she's moved to the area and goes to his school, Rydell High. Danny is shocked to find out she is attending the same school because she was orignially going to be moving back to her home country of Australia....
Pros: I can't think of any. Cons: The songs, John Travolta, Olivia Newton-John, the overall messages.
Everyone has heard of Grease. The cute, teeny-boppin' musical about puppy love and summer days. Everyone I talk to seams to love this movie. I am repulsed by it. It is a threat to this nation and every other. With disgusting messages about what it means...
I think Grease is a very good movie. I loved all the music and Olivia Newton John and John Travolta. Their acting was fantastic! I went to see this movie when it first came out. I love Olivia Newton John and John Travolta.
It was a very entertaining...
Greece is one of those movies that will be a classic forever. It's outstanding cast, the cute storyline and the incredeable music will always stay in our minds. The 50's was a time period when every thing was hip, cool, and funny. Greece portrays just...
"Grease" is the word, and it certainly is! This is a timeless movie that attracts new audiences every year. Recently my first and third grade nieces discovered this film and they can not get enough if it!
Before I actually saw the movie for the very first time, I thought I wouldn't like it at all. I was wrong! This is an excellent movie, as well as a musical. The acting was great, the singing was great, the scenes were perfect!!! I love this movie, and it...
Pros: Fun to sing along to. Cons: Not enough of Jeff Conway
Whenever I sit down and play this movie, I'm transferred back into the 1960's. It is so easy to lose yourself into this film, makes you feel like you're part of the graduating class that it is centered on. The songs are enjoyable to sing along and...
Grease is one of the best movie ever made. Every time it is on television, I watch it. The music is one of the best parts of the movie. It is worth it to buy the soundtrack as well as the movie. Olivia Newton John and John Travolta play the parts...
Guilty Pleasure Kinda Movie by fossilflower ,Mar 13 '07
Pros: Fun movie Cons: cheese factor
This charming musical is set in the 1950's era. The movie is fun!!!! It has a few flaws but none the less a classic!! Some of the cast members are obviously a bit too old for their roles, and there might even be a few cheesy parts by today's standards. However, Travolta & Olivia are young and hot looking and give genuine performances. Grease allows you to lighten up for a couple hours.....and escape. The best part in this movie; when Olivia drastically transforms herself from a demur teenage prude into a shockingly sexy temptress-
