January 6, 2013fb1442511448This adaptation of the 1971 musical strikes the right chords and hits all the right moves. Gracefully filled with flamboyant and electrifying singing and dancing numbers along with the charm and charisma of its two young lovers (Travolta & Newton-John), Grease is the word and the... read more

October 29, 2011I am more of an action type of guy, but this film get a good deal of respect from me for it's originality, and the tunes are still recognised, which must mean that 33 years later, it's still remembered.

September 10, 2011Wow. GREASE is atrociously overrated and mis-praised. And, yes, I say that after the airing of TV's worldwide annoyance GLEE. GREASE just can't be stood by me. The production is quite flamboyant (and I'm preetty sure no one dressed like THAT in the '50s), and the soundtrack is s... read more

James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Travolta is a riot. Alternately swaggering to prove his "coolness" and re-affirming his ability on the dance floor, the actor gives the kind of performance that's perfect for the role. Full Review
December 30, 2008
Michael Booth, Denver Post
Grease holds up for new generations because it captures the enthusiasm of youth and the vibrancy of California's sunshine-and-cars culture. Full Review
July 18, 2007
Variety Staff, Variety
Grease has got it, from the outstanding animated titles of John Wilson all the way through the rousing finale as John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John ride off into teenage happiness. Full Review
December 30, 2006
Julie Hinds, San Jose Mercury News
An unembarrassed movie musical, something my generation experienced only in Sunday-afternoon movies on TV.

Derek Adams, Time Out
Its flashy opportunism (nostalgia pitched squarely at an audience too young to even recall the era) quickly becomes very irritating. Full Review
May 9, 2005
Vincent Canby, New York Times
Its sensibility is not tied to the past but to a free-wheeling, well informed, high-spirited present. Full Review
January 1, 2000
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Just an average musical, pleasant and upbeat and plastic. Full Review
