What to Know

Critics Consensus

Yes, it's a stupid film and not one to overly praise but, gee, it's often a lot of fun. Go to Full Review David Robinson The Times (UK) 02/08/2024
Grease s less parody than pastiche and hardly even that, since the recreation of the fifties and the start of the rock era is so vaguely placed in time, with as much period sense as a 1920s scene in a 1940s touring revue. Go to Full Review Patrick Gibbs Daily Telegraph (UK) 02/08/2024
They make a nice pair [Danny & Sandy], someone is sure to say, but the film is no frame for them, being all bustling background. Go to Full Review Yasser Medina Cinefilia 07/15/2025

Slicked-back, sharp looking and raring to rock, Grease is an exuberant entertainment guaranteed to offer at least temporary relief from any summertime blues which ail you. Go to Full Review R.H. Gardner Baltimore Sun 02/08/2024

Lori May 28 Watching on the big screen just adds to the total Grease experience. We loved it! See more patrick p May 27 I've been watching this movie since I was in elementary school, and they don't make great movies like this often nowadays. It's one of those timeless classics that puts you in a good mood and you can share with generations to come. The whole cast was perfectly assembled and was made at a time when creativity was at its highest. GO SEE THIS MOVIE, and enjoy yourself !!
