Grease (DVD)

In 1978, director Randal Kleiser gave us a magical and historical musical film that epitomised high school in the US in the middle of the 20th Century - Grease is the word! The Plot Australian Sandy Olssen visits America for a summer and meets bad boy Danny Zuko. Come term time, she finds herself at Rydell High, and meets the Pink Ladies, a group of girls at the high school, the 'It' girls of the school.

The storyline ------------------- Sandy was visiting America from Australia. She met and fell in love with Danny when they met at the beach. Danny thought that Sandy had returned to Australia, but her parents had decided to remain in America and ironically Sandy ended up at the same school as Danny. He had totally changed from when she first met him as he had to impress his mates at school as he was the leader of the group called the T-Birds. So either he had to change or Sandy did. Sandy ended up joining the Female group the pink ladies and they helped her to wow Danny. Can opposites really attract, and can they remain together. They are ...  Read the complete review

This actually my second attempt on an op on this topic. The first was….. basically c**p. And has hopefully been deleted from the dooyoo records forever? Unless they keep them and use them in the future to bribe and torture their members in some way?? If that is the case, I’ll give up now!! Seriously, it was bad. Very bad. So, I mailed Amit and asked him ever so nicely if he wouldn’t mind deleting it, and my meagre collection of points in order to make way for this one. He did, (nice guy that Amit) it has, and therefore, you are now reading it. Anyway, sit back, relax, and let idodoyou transport you back into the hallowed halls of Rydell ...  Read the complete review

I hate this film. I really do. I cant quite remember how, or why, or when it happened. I remember liking it. I remember loving the soundtrack. I remember thinking Olivia Newton John was terrific (how gay am i?). Now, the relentless repeats, re-releases, and tributes have become universally tedious. Sandy and Danny get together for a summer romance on the beach, which threatens to end when Sandy has to go back home to Australia. However, a change of plan means that they'll be re-united in the school year at Rydell High. Unbeknown to Sandy though, Danny is head of T-Birds; a gang of neanderthals who cruise around in leather jackets aided by the school's ...  Read the complete review

Introduction ------- Most people have seen ''Grease'' at some point or drunkenly sang along to the megamix of the soundtrack that they play in cheesy clubs, when that bloke you've been avoiding all night is determined to be the Danny to your Sandy. You see Danny and Sandy are the filmatic equivalent of bangers and mash but in a much more kitsch way. In fact, Sandy and Danny even inspired the video for Kylie and Robbie's 'Kids'. I have had the same VHS copy of ''Grease'' since I was twelve. I can even spot when TV channels edit out a single line as I know the script so well, so be prepared this opinion may get more than a little ...  Read the complete review
