Grease (1978)

Wikipedia

Grease is a 1978 American musical romantic comedy film based on the 1971 musical of the same name by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey. Written by Bronte Woodard and directed by Randal Kleiser in his theatrical feature film debut, the film depicts the lives of greaser Danny Zuko and Australian transfer student Sandy Olsson who develop an attraction for each other. The film stars John Travolta as Danny, Olivia Newton-John as Sandy, and Stockard Channing as Betty Rizzo, the leader of the Pink Ladies.

There’s not too much I can say about this movie that hasn’t already been said several times over. It’s a classic. It’s a musical. Several of the songs have been radio hits. There are many moments that are quotable and memorable.

I will say that I’m not a big fan of the ending. It seems a little one-sided for my tastes. I do like this movie though, have re-watched it several times, own the soundtrack, and love the music.

My Rating: ★★★
