Movie Reviews of Grease 2
Movie Review: great movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Yeah, Okay. It has been said the second coming is not as great as the first. Disagree. Grease 2 Hit a number 1 in my book. It has the characters we have all dreamed of being at one time or another, especially Michael, he wants the girl that doesn't want him, until finally he goes over the top to win her heart and succeeds. The movie doesn't really start out this way until about halfway through and then you figure it out. The hero reveals himself in a way that kind of makes you say "what, that's it?" But you soon realize there was no better way to do it than to just do it. The performances were great, the music was upbeat and followed the story quite well. It takes you into an alternate reality that you somehow wish you could be a part of, but only to an extent. I highly recommend this movie.
Summary of Grease 2
The sequel to the 1978 hit movie, GREASE 2 is set in the early 1960's when a new British student, Michael Carrington (Caulfield), rides into town and joins the ranks at Rydell High. A book nerd who immediately falls for the blonde bombshell leader of the Pink Ladies, Stephanie Zinone (Pfeiffer), Michael finds himself smitten, but out of his element. Knowing that the Pink Ladies are the hippest clique of chicks at Rydell, who only date their equals in coolness - the T-Birds, Michael sets out to turn from a geek to a greaser to see if he can win the gorgeous Stephanie's heart.Too often, sequels to popular films simply rehash the original film; call it the carbon-copy syndrome. Grease 2 suffers from no such malady, having almost nothing to do with the original film. Sure, it focuses on teens at Rydell High, the imaginary school from the first film, which starred John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John. But other than a few of the teachers, all of the characters are new and so are the songs--and more's the pity. By the time Grease hit the big screen, it already had had almost a decade as a theatrical musical, more than enough time to hone its mock-rock & roll score. But this sequel, which stars among others a then-unknown Michelle Pfeiffer, Maxwell Caulfield, and Lorna Luft (Judy Garland's daughter), has music that's neither fish nor fowl, neither rock nor Broadway. Meanwhile, the plot is a reversal of the first film, in which a cool guy fell for a square girl. In this one, the square is newcomer Caulfield, who catches the eye of tough girl Pfeiffer and her Pink Lady gang. The appearance of such pseudo-stars of the '50s, like Tab Hunter, is supposed to lend a nostalgic kick, but let's just say that Grease 2 slides almost instantly into obscurity. --Marshall Fine
