A blast from the past for all time! - Grease Reviews

Despite the fact 'Grease' is far from authentic or 'realistic' in its telling of the 50's teenage experience, not least of all for its casting actors in their 20's to 30's to portray the teens in high school, it's still the most damned fun of any teen/high school movie, musical or not, that I've ever seen! Comparing it to the likes of the recent 'Hairspray' (the musical) is not kind to the latter. 'Grease' is pure fun, pure camp, and purely adolescent in all the right ways. The fact that after nearly 30 years, and probably as many viewings, I can still pick out silly side details going on during the scenes is a small example of the genious of this production. Bravo! to all involved for so many hours of enjoyment over the years!
