Newton-John plays Sandy, the ultimate good girl from Australia who winds up at the same high school as Danny, played by Travolta, who is the ultimate bad boy.
Their high school romance is full of ups and downs, but always complemented by their friends, the T-Birds and the Pink Ladies.
The film is filled with poignant moments and comedic segments. The songs have become classics and are often still played on the radio. Movie goers will identify with the characters as they grow up and go through all the growing pains associated with blossoming adulthood. Fans of musicals should not miss this movie.
However, even people who don’t typically enjoy musicals will still find this film highly entertaining. The music is so thoughtfully woven into the plot that “Grease” truly stands apart from other movie musicals.
Grease is also a great film to watch again and again. For some reason, it never gets old. Moreover, it’s always great fun to see Sandy’s ultimate transformation. Any girl who has ever wanted to win the heart of a boy will identify with her choices.
