Entertaining, but sends the wrong message

Rating: 5/10 (15 November 2001)

Grease: the ultimate sell-out movie.
As entertaining as the dance, song, cheesey sketches, etc. etc. are, the ultimate message of Grease is a bit disturbing.
Basically, Sandy completely sells out. After suffering rejection, she changes in the end. She changes her clothes, her demeanor, her hair, even takes up smoking. NOW she is accepted. NOW she is cool. NOW she has conformed. NOW she is safely seated on the bandwagon. And they live happily ever after...
Don't young people have enough pressure and insecurities in life? Why muddle their minds more with movies like Grease?
