The good parts can not make the longer worse parts fade away

Rating: 5/10 (1 April 2002)

This film certainly has it's quality, but the lesser parts are longer than the good parts and that actually sets most of the films score. Adding to that, the fact that I could really not feel for any of the characters or identify with them does not make it better. A bit of bun shaking by Newton John (or Travolta if you're a girl) does not make up for the lack of story and depth. Plus I've seen the 50's characterized better and cooler in Roadracers by Robert Rodriguez. If you like Rock and Roll watch Roadracers, if you like Grease and schmaltz watch this one.

5 out of 10
