Light entertainment

Rating: 7/10 (29 December 2010)

Don't go into this expecting another West Side Story or anything that has a big social commentary written all over it. Watch it if you like Musicals in general, but still keep in mind, it might not be as elaborate as other Musicals have been. Watch it especially for the songs, which are very good.
And while I'm not particularly a Musical fan, I have to admit that the songs were really good (and you may have heard a few of them). Strong songs and performances and quite raunchy for a movie of that time. There is a scene with the girls (I won't spoil the content of it), that I'm sure got the censors all riled up.
A light musical that is there to entertain you, if you let it (with a few actors that became more known later on and I'm not only talking about Mr. Travolta).
