Grease (1998)

I don't know how many times I could have seen "Grease", but I don't know how many times I'll see it again. And I liked too much this movie, since the time when I performed this musical when I was in the elementary school.Very few are the films that with the viewings don't lose attractiveness and this is the great achievement of this fantastic musical.Starting from a very simple script, we see the typical tough boy, Danny Zuko, (played masterfully by John Travolta) and his problems for combining his fame with his love for Sandy (played masterfully by the adorable Olivia Newton-John), with an agile rhythm, fun, unpretentious and really enjoyable.A funny side where I would highlight Rizzo and an unforgettable soundtrack, which I still hear on weekends in many clubs have made this movie a classic, never surpassed by a movie of the style and that did not deserve that second part.

Who doesn't like fun? Then, there is high school fun which no one can figure out either in that moment or later but it was fun never the less. Watching this movie brought back memories of just what happened in American high schools around the 50's and some. We are reminded of how much we knew and didn't know and the nagging thought decades later of how much more we could have done and didn't because we didn't know. The characters bring it all to life imitating what was going on at that time and making fun of it. The actors had a good time doing this movie making the viewers catch the afterglow of it all. Enjoy the songs which become not only memorable but sing-able too. Who hasn't sang at least one of them? Be honest here! When I heard they were going to do Grease 2, I couldn't wait only to watch it and realize that I should have waited. Very disappointing considering the first one and how high it left you when it ended. Good snack movie with a tasty drink...Grease is the word

This is a romantic comedy musical film that was released in 1978, but is set in 1958 in Los Angeles.The film is well-written and well-acted, with good song-and-dance routines. Its main fault is that many of the high school pupils are played by people who were well into their twenties or even their thirties and don't pass for the 17 or 18-year-olds that they're playing.

Starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John, this musical from the late 70s will take you right back to the 50s, when boys were boys, girls were girls and having a car actually meant something. Is it dated? Yes, but in a loving manner.Danny (Travolta) and Sandy (Newton-John) separate after a summer romance, believing that they will probably never see one another again. Then they find out that they're attending the same high school and that Danny has not been as straightforward about his personality as he probably should have been. It turns out he's a greaser and while in the presence of his friends about as misogynistic and old-fashioned as a redneck from 1800s. Yet he still loves Sandy, so what are they to do?This is a fun musical. Both the main leads are unbelievably charismatic, despite Newton-John being thirty years old - yeah, I find it hard to believe as well - and even Travolta being well over twenty. But they make up for it in chemistry, great song numbers and good old-fashioned charm. The music is also great. Greased Lightnin', Summer Nights and You're the One That I Want defined a whole generation. Sure, not all of them, like Beauty School Dropout, are all that memorable and some, like Summer Nights, contain somewhat sexist lyrics, but overall the songs are great and the whole film has this energy to it.Grease defines the word fun. It's a high energy blast that is the perfect watch for all teenagers alike. Just remember that it was made in the 70s.
