Grease 1978

This movie had such a big impact on pop-culture. It's a tribute to the 60's that became an iconic 70's product. The songs, the romance; Grease is the word! And it's almost impossible to have missed it. But for some reason I had never seen it.

Good things first: the songs are great. The happy songs make you feel happy, the dancing songs make you want to dance and the romance songs make you want to hold your partner. Choreography is also great and really adds to the songs. A real musical!

But.. the actors are supposed to look like teenagers, but look like 30 year old actors. The storyline can probably be written on a napkin. The acting (outside the songs) is just plain bad. And the morality is: boys be as macho as you can, girls be as slutty as you can, bully as many as you can, then all your dreams will come true! wtf..

Perhaps I'm just not a musical person, but I'd recommend watching the songs (they're great!) and skip the rest of the movie. You'll have a great time!
