Critics Consensus

Word is, Grease stars an electrifying John Travolta while serving up some '50s kitsch in a frenetic adaptation that isn't always the one that we want.

Yes, it's a stupid film and not one to overly praise but, gee, it's often a lot of fun.

Grease s less parody than pastiche and hardly even that, since the recreation of the fifties and the start of the rock era is so vaguely placed in time, with as much period sense as a 1920s scene in a 1940s touring revue.

They make a nice pair [Danny & Sandy], someone is sure to say, but the film is no frame for them, being all bustling background.

Frankly, I find it to be a dull and unfunny musical that, apart from two songs and a few musical numbers, lacks the necessary grease to be catchy. [Full review in Spanish]

Slicked-back, sharp looking and raring to rock, Grease is an exuberant entertainment guaranteed to offer at least temporary relief from any summertime blues which ail you.

I've been watching this movie since I was in elementary school, and they don't make great movies like this often nowadays. It's one of those timeless classics that puts you in a good mood and you can share with generations to come. The whole cast was perfectly assembled and was made at a time when creativity was at its highest. GO SEE THIS MOVIE, and enjoy yourself !!
