Grease - 4 stars out of 5 stars

Travolta made 3 wonderful musicals and I've already reviewed the other two.Saturday Night Fever and Urban Cowboy.This was the biggest hit because its so old school broadway musical-ish. Set in the 50's its a summer romance that carries into the school year as both boy and girl wind up in the same HS.Sex,rock,and cars and great music.The only reason I took 1 star off was I liked the other two better.This is a safe formula film but I liked it anyway. Released in 1978 it runs 110 minutes and has a great cast besides John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John as most musicals do.I have to mention Sha-Na-Na and Eve Arden and Edd Byrnes as well as legendary comic Sid Caesar and even Frankie Avalon,all icons from back in the day.The real under appreciated performance however is Stockard Channing as Betty Rizzo that tries to bring a little realty to a otherwise fantasy film.Trailer URL is below the pix and a IMDB summary is below.

Good girl Sandy and greaser Danny fell in love over the summer. But when they unexpectedly discover they're now in the same high school, will they be able to rekindle their romance?
