Movies Don't Have to Be Good to Be Loved

Rating: 7/10 (19 October 2007)

Welcome to Rydell High, where all of the students look like they're in their forties and good girls must become sluts to win the man of their dreams.
The Broadway musical is cleaned up for this big screen adaptation that was a monster hit and solidified John Travolta as a major star. This is one of those movies that's hard to review because I learned to like it before I knew what film criticism even was. I know on some level it's not a great movie, but I never really tire of watching it and know most of the songs by heart.
Stockard Channing, though about 20 years too old for her part, does legitimately smashing work as bad girl Rizzo.
