Grease

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Word is, Grease stars an electrifying John Travolta while serving up some '50s kitsch in a frenetic adaptation that isn't always the one that we want.

David Robinson Times (UK) Grease s less parody than pastiche and hardly even that, since the recreation of the fifties and the start of the rock era is so vaguely placed in time, with as much period sense as a 1920s scene in a 1940s touring revue. Feb 8, 2024 Full Review Patrick Gibbs Daily Telegraph (UK) They make a nice pair [Danny & Sandy], someone is sure to say, but the film is no frame for them, being all bustling background. Feb 8, 2024 Full Review Betsy Carter The Atlantic Although Grease is pleasant enough summer fare, it has about as much bite or substance as white bread. Feb 8, 2024 Full Review Joe Leydon The Times (Shreveport, LA) Slicked-back, sharp looking and raring to rock, Grease is an exuberant entertainment guaranteed to offer at least temporary relief from any summertime blues which ail you. Feb 8, 2024 Full Review R.H. Gardner Baltimore Sun Where the stage Grease seemed merely loud, this one is lyrical. Its beat is not only heavy but effervescent, Feb 8, 2024 Full Review Bruce Westbrook The Oklahoman Exuberant song and dance scenes are what make Grease the enjoyable diversion that it is. It is not a knockout film. But Grease is a smartly crafted revival of a traditional movie musical form, and for that we are thankful. Feb 8, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
