A mystery to me

Rating: 2/10 (11 December 2002)

I have never understood why this film was so popular. It must have been the popularity of Travolta and Newtown-John at the time.At least she can sing. It certainly isn't the witless screenplay or the static, indifferent direction. The staging of the songs is so clunky that in "Greased Lightning" Travolta drapes himself briefly in cling wrap. Significantly almost all the hit songs were added for the film with the title song (under bad animated opening credits) was written a Bee Gee.
