Enjoyable musical/comedy about two high school students in the 1950's, hoodlum Danny and prep Sandy, their relationship and their interesting times during the year. It's not a perfect musical; the plot and the 25+ year old cast is too unaccomplished for that. However, the songs are ear-catching and the dialogue is humor-filled which made this a very popular movie at the time. See it if you love rock musicals. Followed by Grease 2 with a new cast.
