    the feminism leaving my body as Sandy changes everything about herself to be with a dude but looks really hot in a leather catsuit so it’s fine

    Grease

    It’s a classic and I don’t care that it has problems through a 21st century lens. Maybe Sandy really wanted to shed her good girl saddle shoes and poodle skirts and put on some damn leather pants, perm her hair, and have a little fun, okay? I know I would’ve if it were me.

No revival, however joyously promoted, can conceal the fact that this is just an average musical, pleasant and upbeat and plastic.

Grease works as a musical, a comedy, a light romance, and a gentle satire of teenage life during the '50s. In part because of its persistent high spirits, it's a delight to watch, even 20 years after it first appeared on the screen.

Grease isn't a four-star musical. It's fluffy and unimportant, and it gets tedious toward the end with the car-racing sequence that Kleiser staged in the paved-in-concrete Los Angeles River. The friskiness of the performers, the choreography by Patricia Birch and most of all Travolta's phenomenal charm give it its value.
