Not a good message, but, sometimes fun

Rating: 6/10 (21 June 2010)

Well where do I start, it is far from my favorite movie. The songs were heavily overplayed in 1978, and ever since. It does not have a good message.
It also has one good and very upbeat song, that they play during the dance-off. (I really don't know why that did not get played on the radio. I liked it a lot more than, "Hopelessly Devoted To You", "Summer Lovin" and "You're The One That I Want") This movie had not too great massages: fitting in is very important, and a girl has got to make a guy jealous, if she wants attention from him. A guy should change himself and become a jock for the sake of getting the girl.
I really did not get the Travolta-Newton John magnetism either. Neither did many others, judging by the number of people who saw or even recall that they made a second movie together, six years later. (There's a Trivia Question)
However, I watched it a number of time. There must be something about this movie that makes it palletable, when I have nothing else to do.
