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
Grease 2 Too often, sequels to popular films simply rehash the original film; call it the carbon-copy syndrome. Grease 2 suffers from no such malady, having almost nothing to do with the original film. Sure, it focuses on teens at Rydell High, the imaginary school from the first film, which starred John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John. But other than a few of the teachers, all of the characters are new and so are the songs--and more's the pity. By the time Grease hit the big screen, it already had had almost a decade as a theatrical musical, more than enough time to hone its mock-rock & roll score. But this sequel, which stars among others a then-unknown Michelle Pfeiffer, Maxwell Caulfield, and Lorna Luft (Judy Garland's daughter), has music that's neither fish nor fowl, neither rock nor Broadway. Meanwhile, the plot is a reversal of the first film, in which a cool guy fell for a square girl. In this one, the square is newcomer Caulfield, who catches the eye of tough girl Pfeiffer and her Pink Lady gang. The appearance of such pseudo-stars of the '50s, like Tab Hunter, is supposed to lend a nostalgic kick, but let's just say that Grease 2 slides almost instantly into obscurity. --Marshall Fine
Great deal for both Greases!! I love both Grease movies and this is a great deal to add both to my collection! They are classics!
A mixed bag. The first "Grease" was a great film. "Grease II" is not. Since the 2-pack only cost $1 more, I guess I got my money's worth. But not much more.
A must have collection If you are looking for an upbeat video with great music this is the video for you. This is a never get tired no matter how many times you watch it video. Definitely a repeater to watch and ...The more you watch...beware...because you will eventually sing along with these classic movie musicals. Never boring, funny and entertaining. I have been watching this collection for years with my kids, who are grown up now...and we're still watching the collection. It's always like the first time no matter how many times we see it. Highly recommended.
A wrong made right. Ordered this for a coworker for an xmas present about 2 weeks before xmas. Waited on it to arrive but it never did. Emailed amazon and they shipped out another set that I was able to get before xmas and give to my coworker. Awesome customer service. She really enjoyed the present.
