Stomp Tokyo
Grease, for those of you who haven't seen it (and shame on you!), was John Travolta's second big movie after his career was launched by the TV series "Welcome Back, Kotter." (The first was Saturday Night Fever.) In it, Travolta plays Danny Zuko, a rather ...read the complete Grease movie review at Stomp Tokyo
Sun Newspapers of Cleveland
So what if you can spot the guide wires in the groovy "Greased Lightning," one of many spirited production numbers. Or if Jeff Conaway (TV's "Taxi"), as Kenickie, never achieved the stardom predicted for him. Or even if Newton-John, Travolta and the scene ...read the complete Grease movie review at Sun Newspapers of Cleveland
Teen Movie Critic (Vivian Rose)
As many of you may know (If you're considerably older than I am) this movie stars Travolta as Danny Zuko, a senior at Rydell High . Danny is quite shocked when his summer fling, whom he thought he'd never see again, shows up as a new student at Rydell on ...read the complete Grease movie review at Teen Movie Critic (Vivian Rose)
Boxoffice Magazine
"Grease" has long had a following of sing-along types, especially since it was encouraged by the studio upon the occasion of its anniversary re-release. The omission of that simple feature suggests the studio was in a rush to get the title out, and didn't ...read the complete Grease movie review at Boxoffice Magazine
Michael Dequina
A musical lives or dies by its soundtrack, and it is here that Grease truly soars. The opening number "Summer Nights," in which Danny and Sandy recall their summer romance, isn't the biggest karaoke tune of all time for nothing; it's as deliriously ...read the complete Grease movie review at Michael Dequina

Christian Spotlight on the Movies
On the surface this film seems like lots of fun. We leave the theater singing (and maybe dancing the "Hand Jive"). However, hidden behind great music, we find a film that it is not exactly family viewing.

Man, is this movie cheesy! But at the same time, it's embarrassingly entertaining.

Based on the hit Broadway stage musical by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey, "Grease" is a campy '70s valentine to 1950s that never really existed.

Grease is one of those movies that is more or less review-proof. It was a huge hit in 1978, propelled forward by a chart-topping soundtrack, John Travolta's famous dancing feet, Olivia Newton-John's winsome charms, and 1950s nostalgia.

"Grease" is the phenomenally successful musical that transformed John Travolta into an icon of the 70s, put Olivia Newton-John on the US pop charts and brought hot pants back into vogue.

San Francisco Chronicle (Edward Guthmann)
John Travolta has been so omnipresent in the 3 1/2 years since ``Pulp Fiction'' -- and so effective at creating a new image as a foxy, smooth, middle-aged movie star -- that I found myself amazed watching him in ``Grease,'' the 1978 musical hit that opens ...read the complete Grease movie review at San Francisco Chronicle (Edward Guthmann)
