Amazon.com essential video:
Riding the strange ’50s nostalgia wave that swept through America during the late 1970s (caused by TV shows like Happy Days and films like American Graffiti), Grease became not only the word in 1978, but also a box-office smash and a cultural phenomenon. Twenty years later, this entertaining film adaptation of the Broadway musical received another successful theatrical release, which included visual remastering and a shiny new Dolby soundtrack. In this 2002 DVD release, Grease lovers can also now see it in the correct 2:35 to 1 Panavision aspect ratio, and see retrospective interviews with cast members and director Randal Kleiser. All these stylistic touches are essential to the film’s success. Without the vibrant colors, unforgettably campy and catchy tunes (like “Greased Lightning,” “Summer Nights,” and “You’re the One That I Want”), and fabulously choreographed, widescreen musical numbers, the film would have to rely on a silly, clich茅-filled plot that we’ve seen hundreds of times. As it is, the episodic story about the romantic dilemmas experienced by a group of graduating high school seniors remains fresh, fun, and incredibly imaginative.

The young, animated cast also deserves a lot of credit, bringing chemistry and energy to otherwise bland material. John Travolta, straight from his success in Saturday Night Fever, knows his sexual star power and struts, swaggers, sings, and dances appropriately, while Olivia Newton-John’s portrayal of virgin innocence is the only decent acting she’s ever done. And then there’s Stockard Channing, spouting sexual double-entendres as Rizzo, the bitchy, raunchy leader of the Pink Ladies, who steals the film from both of its stars. Ignore the sequel at all costs. –Dave McCoy

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - All Time Favorite
This is probably my all time favorite movie. I know all the words and songs by heart. I even have gotten my kids hooked.

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Double, triple, quadruple-dip, anyone???
C’mon, Paramount. No one loves Grease more than us hopelessly devoted fans. But if you are going to roll out yet another attempt to repackage our beloved classic, make it worth rolling out the bucks. How about this: offer a re-release with the (!!!!!!!) ORIGINAL THEATRICAL AUDIO TRACK as an option. We love the remastered print, etc. But some of us really long for the original track, especially because some of the classic songs were over-remixed in the 1998 re-release. The biggest disappointment is … Read More

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Once loved-Twice hated
I HATE this film, when I once loved it. Growing up has made me realize a LOT of good things about maturity, and one of them is the fact that this really is a bad movie. The acting is mediocre, if not bad, and the story is crap! I would say that is high school, there is a LOT to fret over, but not a boyfriend-girlfriend thing! Leave that to an obnoxious John Hughes film! Some of the music really is intellegently written, and the singing isn’t too bad either, the I just have to say, that it does not … Read More

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Heavy on the Grease
Grease will always hold a special place in my heart, it is part of my childhood and holds many nostalgic memories for me. Saw the movie when I was 8, was given the soundtrack on vinyl (as well as Saturday Nite Fever) for christmas. Played it on my ladybug turntable, and sang along to every song with my friends, 1978. The only way to truely watch Grease is on “full screen”. U just can’t enjoy it any other way. I bought it on widescreen and was totally horrified. It just doesn’t have that same … Read More

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - One small problem…
OK, fun songs, cute acting, generally a good time. But has anyone noticed that the moral of this story seems to say that you should change yourself into something you’re not in order to please someone else? Not sure that’s a message I’d want my kids to hear.
