The best musical of all time!

No other musical beats this one! The cast is perfect, and it is very funny as well. Travolta is still a babe. Watching this movie, you will be singing the songs with everybody. Fun cast, great songs and appeal still... Read more at imdb.com

I hated this movie when I was a teenager and I'm so pissed at myself because of that. Looking at this movie now in my 20's I can appreciate what a fun-loving view of life this provides. All the songs... Read more at imdb.com

Possible minor spoilers ahead: I hated this movie when I saw it in the theatres when I was ten. I didn't know why until I saw it done on stage years later at a local high school. The movie (and play)... Read more at imdb.com

This play turned movie is one my favorites. It has mostly anything you could ask for. Being a romance, comedy, musical and so much more, makes it unique. John Travolta, Olivia Newton-John, Stockard Channing, Didi Cohn, Jeff Conaway and so... Read more at imdb.com

Sandy and Danny, their names alone mean nothing, together they represent the film we all know and love that brought us 'Summer Nights' and 'Greased Lightnin'. Grease is an infamous musical-play turned film, adapted and produced by Allan Carr, chartering... Read more at imdb.com
Greatest musical ever!!

I am a huge fan of Grease. I've seen the play and I've watched the movie at least 500 times. It captures everything high school is about. Even though it is set in the 50's, it seems to resonate even... Read more at imdb.com
This is one of a number of movies I saw back when they were first released, misguidedly enjoyed at the time, and now find I have major issues with. I suppose it's a mildly entertaining movie of generally brainless drivel... Read more at imdb.com

Its still a great movie that withstands the test of time. There are few films Ive seen a many times as Grease and I still enjoy seeing at least once or twice a year. Its a silly gimmick but it adds to the campiness of the film. ... Full Review

DVD MovieGuide
On the negative side, Grease seems awfully campy, and it rarely comes across as something genuinely inspired. Grease also succeeds due to its generally solid cast. I cant call myself one of them, but I did enjoy the movie more than I expected. ... Full Review

Chicago Sun-Times
The movie's worth seeing for nostalgia, or for a look at vintage Travolta, but its underlying problem is that it sees the material as silly camp: It neuters it. The musical is being revived not because it is invaluable, but because it contains an invaluable cultural icon: the singing, dancing performance of John Travolta . ... Full Review

Entertainment Weekly
It's nearly impossible to flip through TV channels or go to a karaoke bar without running into some remnant of Grease. In fact, the word ''fun'' is repeated at least a dozen times in interviews with John Travolta and other cast members. ... Full Review

The Guru

That sounds like damning with faint praise -- there can't be many movies like it -- but inventiveness counts for something.The Guru is a trifle, a silly one at that, but it's a charming trifle that's hard to resist. ... Full Article

"GREASE" has aged pretty well in the vault.Sure, it's the same trite teenage fantasy it was 20 years ago when it was first released, but somehow now the energy seems infectiously giddier, the songs zingier, the camp higher. ... Full Article
