Review of Grease (1978) by Dawdlingpoet — 24 Nov 2021

Of course this is a cheesy film and I suppose it shows my age a bit, in that one of my first reactions was the usual 'wow, this is surprisingly sexual film about teens' - the drive in scene particularly so (where have I been?! lol).

The lyrics in some of the songs are quite amusing!. It's certainly entertaining - not exactly a deep film but a bit of fun and with some catchy tunes, this is a fun enough musical. Not great, not awful but a reasonably good film with quirky characters - a decent musical certainly.

I suppose I would recommend it, yes. It makes me laugh knowing how old the cast are, given the age their characters are meant to be. Makes you think...but its an enjoyable film regardless, not one to take entirely seriously I suppose, all things considered.

For younger people, it's perhaps a little like a film version of Glee(?!).
