ew!

It was just painful to watch and listen to. The kids liked it but it gave me a vicarious shame. I voluntarily started folding laundry to escape the misery.

....and that's saying something!

flop?

With the success that Grease brought with it at the time, it goes without saying that a sequel is inevitable. This sequel came 4 years later in the form of Grease 2, but it was completely destroyed with bad reviews. So I went in with low expectations, but it wasn't that bad.

It is, however, completely invisible compared to the first part, which is clearly a lot better. From the very first minute you feel the mood as a viewer when the song has no flow at all. Not a single song by the way, despite the attempts at sunny choreography. There is probably a little more budget in this film, but that doesn't mean a better quality, and this film shows that.

The acting is quite nice and Pfeiffer even plays one of her better roles in my opinion. It is a limited role that is very much pushed into a corner, but the fun is there. By everyone, by the way, because the types are nicely exaggerated and the cast seems to be having fun with that. It is certainly childish, but also entertaining and fast.

Furthermore, the film has good direction and reasonable images in between. I honestly didn't understand what makes this movie so terrible. Apart from some plot holes and weird decisions, the film is reasonably at the level of other musicals, and moreover there are a lot of musicals that are much more annoying and tough than this Grease 2, which excels in lightness.

What is unfortunate is that the songs and songs remain completely invisible and the nun story goes on for too long. It is also predictable and so the film lacks creativity and originality. It didn't have a chance against the first part, but the lightness can be there and that has also been the salvation of the film here. I had a great time with the movie.

I really loved Grease (1) but this one is really disappointing. Had never seen this one. It's really frustrating to see how hard they try to replicate the success of Grease 1! The music is much less (maybe because Barry Gibb isn't co-writing this film?) And okay Michelle Pfeiffer can't sing very well but she can act well. The story itself is good, hence the 1.5 star. But I just find it very disappointing as Grease 2. That is my opinion of course, to each his own thing.
