Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Megamind To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

preppy-3 Sequel to the inexplicably popular "Grease" !1978). It's 1961 and Maxwell Caulfield plays MIchael--an English student who comes to America to attend Rydell High. There he meets beautiful Stephanie (Michelle Pfeiffer before she hit it big) and falls in love. However she only dates bikers and he's not one.There's lots wrong with this movie. It's too long, all the high school kids look like 30, there's a few REALLY bad songs, the dialogue is terrible and most of the acting is horrid. On the other hand--most of the songs are great (LOVE the "Reproduction" number with Tab Hunter clearly enjoying himself), there are a few great huge production numbers with great dancing and singing and there's some good acting by Pfeiffer, Tab Hunter, Eve Arden (in her last film), Didi Conn and Lorna Luft. Also Caulfield is GORGEOUS and great to look at--even though he can't act. So it is bad but watchable.

kitfox30 I obviously liked this more than the critics. The story is kind of bland and the acting isn't great, but it's a fun movie and i enjoyed the songs more in this one than the first one. It is a sequel, but if they'd changed it slightly and not named it after the first one it would have scored higher with critics. Seeing great gay actors acting straight was as much fun in this one as the first one. (I will admit I had a huge crush on Peter Freshette until i learned he was openly gay). Anyways, the first movie was good and well done, but this one i think is every bit as good, but they ruined it by making it a sequel. Still enjoy watching it immensely however and dislike people badmouthing it.

Shinedowness The 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.

thesar-2 Amazing on how little the creators of Grease 2 noticed that their school year began in September 1961 and ended the following year in 1961. Lazy or rushed, you decide.Look, I'm going to make this a quickie, much like all the horny "kids" here wanted. I only watched this movie to listen to the great podcast: "How Did This Get Made?" on my drive to Vegas in a couple of days. They covered this, so to join in on their fun, I watched it. I both curse and will eventually praise them.Truthfully, I wasn't a fan of the first film. I saw it waaay after the release. 30 years, to be precise. I only know this, because after listening to the incredible soundtrack for decades, I saw the movie was coming back to theatres for a 30th year anniversary in 2008. So, I figured that would be the best way to see it first: on the big screen. And…it was a big letdown. Sure, the music was still incredible, but the production of the movie: eh. And now…that said, the first is a masterpiece in comparison to part 2.Random scenes, terrible music, an ultra-thin "plot," and mid-20 to 30- year-olds posing as high school students? Well, at least it made all the teachers and faculty lusting over students less creepy…I guess? Can't really give a synopsis since there didn't appear to be a script involved, but what it boiled down to: Foreign exchange student lusts over a forbidden "girl," and since she only likes bikers, he pretends to be one so he can Clark Kent/Superman her. (He even mentions that duality at one point.)Admittedly, I found the music catchy at points, though it still sucked and most of the cast was really trying, though horribly directed. So, I didn't overall hate this, but boy it felt like it was put together in hours. The entire film, I mean.This movie and many more pointless sequels are proof that not every great "classic" needs a follow-up and obvious cash-cows don't always need milking. Shame.***Final thoughts: So glad, despite this, Michelle Pfeiffer had a career. She wasn't terrible in her first lead role here, but, boy, was she badly directed. I almost felt sorry for her as she was just horribly led.
