Given the runaway success of Grease, which became the biggest-grossing movie musical of all time, it was all but inevitable that there would be a sequel, and four years later this follow-up brought a ... read more read more...new group of kids back to Rydell High. It's 1961, and Stephanie Zinone (Michelle Pfeiffer) is the tough leader of the Pink Ladies, while Michael Carrington (Maxwell Caulfield) is a clean-cut British exchange student. Michael likes Stephanie, but the Pink Ladies' by-laws prevent her from dating guys who aren't members of the T-Birds, their affiliated male gang. However, when a Zorro-like masked avenger on a motorcycle rescues Stephanie from a gang of ill-mannered toughs, she's eager to get to know the hero with the cool wheels. Any guesses as to who he might be? Eve Arden, Sid Caesar, and Dody Goodman return from the first film as members of the Rydell High faculty, while actual '50s teen icons Tab Hunter and Connie Stevens are on board as new members of the staff; Didi Conn as Frenchy is the only one of the students to appear in both movies. Patricia Birch, who served as choreographer on Grease, made her debut as a director on Grease 2; while she's remained active as a choreographer, she hasn't directed again since. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    A horrible sequel to Grease, a classic musical. This one has very silly songs that don't have anything to do with the story. I hate it.
  • October 27, 2010
    The music was awful, the plot was thick as oatmeal, and the dialouge felt like cheap vinyl. The only thing they did right was cast Michelle Pfeiffer, who's a decent singer and dancer. Otherwise, there's the whole, "A little piece of me died," thing.

    This sequel of 1978's blockbuster musical film is ridiculous. Surprised to see Didi Conn, Eve Arden, Sid Caesar, and Dody Goodman, all faculty members from the original Grease return in their roles. The music score isn't remotely as good as the songs that come from the ori... read moreginal.

    Quite awful but the Didi Conn & Sid Caesar cameos are good.

    Not a patch on the first one. Why did they do it?

    Doesn't quite have the charm and chemistry of the first but still pretty good.
  • May 19, 2007
    Not nearly as good as the first one, but I suppose it is worth seeing once.
  • March 9, 2007
    One Grease movie is enough, such a bad movie and maybe the worst performance in Michelle Pfeiffer carrer

Rizzo says "no" to this hacky sequel. Full Review

A gloriously unpretentious gem just waiting to be discovered. That the film hasn't yet received the full respect it deserves only adds to its charm. Full Review

As far as '50s-styled cornball tributes to heavy-petting go, Grease 2 has got nothing on Prince's "Jack U Off." Full Review

Without a doubt the greatest sequel to a Stockard Channing musical starring Adrian Zmed!

Sure, it's nowhere near as good - but you'll forget about that onces the rockin' soundtrack kicks in

Yup, it really is THAT bad. Hilariously bad, even.

In its sheer awfulness, it is one of the best camp entertainments you could ever find. Full Review
