This is a musical love story between Danny and Sandy.

This movie is HORRIBLE. Classic? Okay sure people consider it to be that, but I don't. It has lame characters and songs that are cheesy, and has nothing significant. Let's crack down on this movie, yo.

Let's start with the characters. The concept of the T-Birds and Pink ladies are interesting. I used to like the jackets that identify them as which. However, the word that comes to mind when describing them is this: JOKE. A pure JOKE. Sandy looks like she is in her 30's (Uh huh I went there!), and her singing is not close to 'awesome'. Also the acting is borderline cheesy. The other pink ladies are SHALLOW. How are they even cool to begin with?! Some sleep around, smoke, drink, and are stuck ups. Mean girls anyone?

The T birds are no different. They concentrate to much on there hair (if you know what I mean), probably that's why they don't have a brain. Danny looked like in his late 20's, but he wasn't so bad. His singing was tolerable. For him being the leader - he sure does act the opposite of what he is or could be. Meaning: kind, gentle, etc (like he was with sandy in the begining). OOH! Don't get me started on the other ones. Bunch of goof balls that are suppose to be TEEN REBELS sort of. It's misleading.

Now let me discuss another aspect of the movie that bothered me. What was wrong with Sandy in the first place? What was wrong with this suppose 'clean' image? It's NOT cool to smoke, and drink. The ending was a disappointment. She changed herself to some horrible version of the other pink ladies. Yeah Sandra Dee, tell me how cool it is- when years pass, and you have lung cancer. *cough*. Not to mention the outfit she wore at the ending, was tacky. Like yuck. To much make up. TO much everything. But hey, it's cool amirite?

Sandy and danny are both FOLLOWERS not leaders. To me, it's like danny doesn't respect Sandy. And sandy doesn't respect herself enough either. The tagline of the move is: Grease is the word.

It actually should be this: Horrible is the word.
