A Pretty Good Musical-Comedy

Rating: 6/10 (1 July 2016)

With her summer vacation in California over a high school student by the name of "Sandy" (Olivia Newton-John) sadly says goodbye to her boyfriend "Danny" (John Travolta). Although he is equally sad that they have to be separated he reluctantly goes back to school where his buddies in a gang known as the "T-Birds" eagerly greet him. Naturally, he falls back into his tough-guy routine and life continues as it was. Then one night Sandy appears and tells him that she is a student at the same high school. But rather than being pleased Danny puts on a show in front of his peers to avoid embarrassment which he immediately regrets afterwards. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was a pretty good musical-comedy which earned quite a bit of money and was also nominated for an Oscar along with several Golden Globe awards as well. The dance routine at the end was also quite impressive. In any case, although I wasn't quite as overwhelmed by it as some viewers were, I still liked the film to a certain degree and I have rated it accordingly. Slightly above average.
