An English student at a 1960s American high school has to prove himself to the leader of a girls' gang whose members can only date greasers. I don't get the reason why a Grease 2 even happened in the first place but since it happened let's review it i guess. First of all i wasn't a fan of the original Grease i mean i liked the concept i just didn't liked the execution that's all and the same problem happens with the sequel as well. Except the beautiful Michelle Pfeiffer there's nothing remarkable or even remotely unique about this film, it has some new songs and does what the first film did in 1978 and basically instead of rising from the sea the sequel sinks faster than the Titanic. (4/10)
... View MoreBeing a huge fan of the original Grease film I have pushed myself a few times now to try and like Grease 2. It's only the last time I watched it again that I came to see it's actually completely different in genre and atmosphere to original Grease. While the original is a fun, young adult's musical, providing some historically accurate moderate sexual undertones, fantastic songs, iconic one-liners delivered by charismatic actors and characters, Grease 2 I think is attempting more a comedic vibe - not that it's my particular type of humour. The songs are just not that well written, the actors for the most part are not at all charismatic and most are quite weak. Something is very lacking, I still can't figure out just what, it's just missing alot... it just doesn't hold my interest, like... at all. I don't feel at all invested in the storyline, the characters or the songs. As I say, I tried.

OMG, I had an instant crush on him the minute I saw this as a girl. (I'm 41 now.) Maxwell Caulfield, British accent, great body, and those eyes-sigh! lol I'm probably biased considering that my name is Stephanie. :-) I think this gets way too much hate. Lighten up people! Enjoy the great music, the sexy cast (I'll include Adrian Zmed and Michelle Pfeiffer in the sexy category), and just have fun! I'll take this movie's lead actors over John "Scientology" Travolta ANY time! Lastly...MICHAEL!!! hehe Regards from Pittsburgh, PA!
... View MoreThe only aspects I liked in this film was "Cool Rider" by Michelle Pfeiffer and Michael's tact. Otherwise, Stephanie is obnoxious, the music has been watered down a bit with excessive innuendo for me, the T-Birds and Pink Ladies are less edgy than the originals in the Grease film, and this film makes me miss Stockard Channing's whimsical and cheeky expression, and I wonder why Stephanie was not fired from her job after seeing how tactless she was at dealing with the waitress that gave her food.
