John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John Christmas video sparks strong reaction | Toronto Star Entertainment John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John Christmas video sparks strong reaction A new video starring John Travolta and former Grease co-star Olivia Newton-John is getting a lot of YouTube views, but the dislikes outnumber likes by a large margin of about a 7 to 3 ratio. Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta "driving" around in their new video for "I Think I Might Like It." (youtube) By Bruce DeMaraEntertainment Reporter Fri., Dec. 7, 2012 Former Grease stars John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John have reunited on video for some holiday schmaltz. Thirty-four years after they starred in the wildly popular movie version of the 1950s musical, their video version of “ I Think I Might Like It ” is meant to promote their latest collaboration, a Yuletide-themed album called This Christmas. The video, to promote the album that is intended to raise funds for two pet causes dear to Travolta and Newton-John, is getting a lot of attention since it was posted on YouTube .

It has received more than 500,000 hits in the 24 hours since it was posted with dislikes outnumbering likes by a large margin of about a 7 to 3 ratio. As of Friday afternoon, 43% of respondents to the Star poll said they did not like the video. Forty per cent said, "Yes, I'm so excited Danny and Sandy are together again," 11% felt there weren't enough dancing soldiers and 6% said they just didn't know. (What do you think of the video? Take our poll ) It features Travolta touching down in a plane — he’s a certified private pilot who owns five of them — and doing the country two-step dance with Newton-John, 64, that they performed in Grease for “You’re the One That I Want.” Newton-John is seen in the video driving a vintage American car with the word “antique” prominently displayed on the rear license plate.

That’s not the only ironically amusing part of the video, which features the couple watching the classic Christmas film It’s A Wonderful Life —something they do, according to the lyrics, after they “hide away, making love all night/And we can cry tomorrow watching It's A Wonderful Life"— and a host of badly staged reunions by extras, which include Travolta’s wife, Kelly Preston, entering an airport carrying their 2-year-old Benjamin, who then hits his older sister, Ella Bleu.

The closing shot of Travolta and Newton-John looking backward into the camera as their car drives away is a blatant rip-off from Grease’s closing scene.

Before "High School Musical," the most-successful movie musical about high school was "Grease." Now, 32 years after its original release, the hit musical about a group of 1950s greasers and bobby-soxers, starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John returns to theaters in a sing-along version . It's like karaoke on the big screen, with the lyrics at the bottom -- though it's unlikely all those diehard "Grease" fans will need them. Play John Travolta Sings for Soccer The special release is only in limited cities, including New York, Los Angeles, Boston and Chicago, this weekend and next. But if fans outside major metro areas lobby hard enough, the film could be shown in their town the weekend after. One town that refused to be left out was Ocala, Fla., Travolta's adopted hometown. When the film's organizers launched an online competition promising to show the film in the city with the most votes, Ocala residents flooded the site and won. And, according to contactmusic.com, they will be treated to drinks and snacks by none other than Travolta.

"I want to thank you, my hometown, for showing your support for the Grease Sing Along and bringing it to the Regal Hollywood 16 in Ocala. I am so impressed that show times sold out, I would like to treat each Grease Sing Along ticket holder to a popcorn, soda and candy item when you attend the movie on July 8, 9 or 10," Travolta said in a press release. When it was originally released in 1978, "Grease" broke all sorts of records, including the highest-grossing movie of that year and the highest-grossing movie musical at the time, surpassing "The Sound of Music." The movie's soundtrack was just as popular, reaching number one in several different countries. In the UK, two duets "You're the One That I Want" and "Summer Nights" by stars Travolta and Newton-John both scored No. 1 hits. The movie's title song was also a No. 1 hit for singer Frankie Valli.

But it's the stars of the film -- Travolta, Newton-John, Stockard Channing -- who reached new heights in their careers following "Grease." Here's a look at them then and now: John Travolta/Danny Zuko John Travolta as Danny and now He can dance and sing too. Travolta was already famous from his years on sitcom "Welcome Back Kotter" and his starring role in the disco-era classic "Saturday Night Fever," for which he received his first Oscar nomination. But his role as Danny Zuko, the greaser bad boy, reaffirmed his superstar status and showed the world that Travolta, who released a Top 10 single in the early '70s, really could sing! Originally the role of Zuko was offered to Henry "The Fonz" Winkler, but after playing a similar character in "Happy Days," he turned it down for fear of typecasting. Winkler's loss was Travolta's gain. Travolta went on to star in "Urban Cowboy" with Debra Winger. What followed were a string of flops, including "Two of a Kind" in which he reunited with Newton-John.

It took Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction" to revive Travolta's career. He's been hot ever since. His personal life, in recent years, has taken some hits, though. Last year, his 16-year-old son Jett , with wife actress Kelly Preston, died after a seizure. Months later, Travolta testified in the extortion case that grew out of Jett's death. Then recently, Travolta, now 56, announced some good news: they are expecting a baby . Olivia Newton-John/Sandy Olsson Olivia Newton-John as Sandy and now The native Australian singer who played Danny's star-crossed good-girl love was already a Grammy-award-winning singer with hits like "If You Love Me, Let Me Know" and "I Honestly Love You." But she had very little acting experience. Fortunately, for Newton-John, Marie Osmond turned down the role of Sandy because she didn't like how the character becomes a "bad girl" in the end. After "Grease," Newton-John's career soared. Her next film "Xanadu" was a critical failure but did well at the box office and the film's soundtrack went double platinum.

Newton-John followed up with "Physical," her most successful album to date. Following a battle with breast cancer in 1992, Newton-John became a health advocate. She also divorced first husband, actor Matt Lattanzi, with whom she has a daughter Chloe, and began seeing camerman Patrick McDermott. They dated off and on for nine years until McDermott mysteriously disappeared during a boating trip. Years later, he was discovered living off the coast of Mexico. In June 2008, Newton-John, now 61, secretly wed John Easterling, founder and president of natural remedy company. Recently, she earned a new generation of fans with a guest appearance on "Glee." Stockard Channing/Rizzo Stockard Channing, who played Rizzo, then and now A stage veteran, Channing had a few bit roles in films before accepting the part of Rizzo, Sandy's polar opposite, at the ripe age of 33. After her success in "Grease," Channing was rewarded with her own sitcoms. Both were short-lived, and she returned to the stage, taking one of those roles in "Six Degrees of Separation" to the big screen several years later.

"Six Degrees" revived her film career in the 90s and she appeared in "Smoke," "The First Wives Club," and "Moll Flanders." In recent years, the 66-year-old actress is best known as First Lady Abbey Bartlet in the hit series "The West Wing," for which she received an Emmy Award. Jeff Conaway/Kenickie Jeff Conaway as Kenicke and now Conaway, now 59, began acting on Broadway at age 2, but it was his role as Danny's sidekick Kenickie in "Grease" that earned him fame. He went on to star as out-of-work actor Bobby Wheeler in Taxi. After a number of television and film appearances, he landed another series playing Sgt. Zack Allan on "Babylon 5." But his substance abuse problems and his appearances on the "Celebrity Rehab" series are what he's probably best known for now. On the VH1 reality show, he admitted his addiction to cocaine, alcohol and painkillers and talked about his sexual abuse as a child and his co-dependent relationship with his addict girlfriend Vikki.

During his second season on the show, Conaway left rehab before graduation and was seen taking painkillers after he arrived home. Didi Conn/Frenchy Didi Conn, who played Frenchy, then and now With her unmistakable childlike voice, Conn was memorable in her role of high school-turned-beauty school dropout Frenchy in "Grease." Her career never achieved the same heights, though. She went on to star in several television series, including "Benson" and the children's show "Shining Time Station." These days, Conn, now 58, makes an occasional guest appearance. But mostly she serves as celebrity spokeswoman for Autism Speaks, since her son Danny was diagnosed with autism. Lorenzo Lamas/Tom Chisolm Lorenzo Lamas, who got his start in 'Grease,' then and now Following in his dad Fernando Lamas' footsteps, Lamas landed his first screen role in "Grease," playing Tom Chisolm, the guy Sandy dates and later dumps for Danny. The film launched his career and in 1980 he landed the role playing actress Jane Wyman's grandson in the nighttime soap "Falcon Crest." He appeared in every episode over nine seasons.

Following "Falcon Crest," Lamas starred in another series "Renegade" for five seasons before returning to the soaps, this time the daytime drama "The Bold and the Beautiful." His personal life also plays like a soap opera. Lamas, now 52, has been married four times and has six children. In February he announced his engagement to his girlfriend of three months, 23-year-old Shawna Craig. 0 Shares Saturday Night Fever (1977) - IMDb IMDb There was an error trying to load your rating for this title.

(fairview, nj) – See all my reviews Saturday NIGHT FEVER (1977) **** John Travolta, Karen Lynn Gorney, Joseph Cali, Barry Miller, Julie Bovasso, Val Bosoglio, Donna Pescow. Quintessential film about the Seventies' disco craze that made Travolta an American icon (Best Actor nominee) and superstar as Brooklynite Tony Manero, a free-wheelin' Italian kid who loves to dance but doesn't know what he wants from life despite his talent and some eye-opening advice from dance partner Gorney. Directed on location with gritty realism by John Badham this blockbuster features songs by the ultimate trio The Bee Gees.(My favorite: "How Deep Is Your Love?"). Look for Fran Drescher and Denny Dillon in the dance sequences. For the film vault: a snake-hipped, lupine Travolta cutting loose to "You Should Be Dancing." 31 of 48 people found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you?

(1998 re-release) Film Synopsis Template:Spoiler Before the title credits of the film, we see Danny and Sandy on vacation on the beach. As the summer holidays draw to a close, it looks like Danny and Sandy may never see each other again, as Sandy is returning to Australia. After the title credits, we see the students returning to Rydell High School. We are introduced to two gangs, the T-Birds, of whom Danny is the leader, and the Pink Ladies. We learn that Sandy has been transferred to Rydell, where Frenchy, one of the Pink Ladies, has befriended her, and introduces her to the rest of the gang.

In the cafeteria, the T-Birds beg Danny to tell them about his summer romance, while the Pink Ladies beg Sandy to tell them about hers. The song "Summer Nights", sees Danny and Sandy telling their stories- it soon becomes clear that Danny is exaggerating - though neither is aware of the other's presence at the school. Sandy joins the cheerleaders, and at the school pep rally, the Pink Ladies surprise Danny by reuniting him with Sandy. But Danny appears to be more interested in his image than in his relationship with Sandy now, and his odd behaviour towards her results in her storming off in tears. Frenchy cheers Sandy up by inviting her to a pyjama party at her house, but once she is there, things start to go wrong. She is persuaded to try a cigarette, and a "desert wine", and Frenchy finally offers to pierce her ears- all these have disastrous consequences. When Sandy is sick, Rizzo makes fun of her goody-two-shoes image, and even Frenchy joins in. The T-Birds turn up outside Frenchy's house.

Rizzo leaves the party, and goes off with Kenickie, dumping the other T-Birds, who go for a slice of pizza. Marty decides to write to one of her many pen pals. Meanwhile, Sandy asks Marty for a sheet of paper to write a letter. She instead go outside and sing "Hopelessly Devoted to You". After that, the scene forwards to Kenickie and Rizzo in the back of his car. She and Kenickie's passionate making out is interrupted by Leo, the leader of the T-Birds' rival gang, the Scorpions, who damages Kenickie's car. Whilst at work on repairing the car, the gang fantasize about turning it into "Greased Lightnin'", a top racing car- during the song, we see a fantasy sequence of the car after it has been repaired and painted. Soon afterwards, in the "Frosty Palace", where the T-Birds and Pink Ladies frequently hang out, Danny sees Sandy sharing a soda with one of Rydell High's jocks, Tom Chisum. When Sandy goes to choose a song on the jukebox, Danny attempts to apologize for his behaviour at the pep rally, but Sandy rebuffs him.

Undaunted, Danny decides to become a jock himself, believing that he can do better than Chisum. However, he fails miserably at basketball, wrestling and baseball. He finally finds his ideal sport in track, but is distracted by the sight of Sandy and Tom. When he falls over, Sandy rushes to see if he is alright, and they are finally reconciled. They go on a date at the "Frosty Palace", but it goes wrong when the whole gang join them. Rizzo and Kenickie have been fighting, and finally break up violently, when Rizzo lobs her strawberry milkshake at Kenickie. The school dance is an important occasion at Rydell High School- it is being videoed for the "National Bandstand" television show. Danny and Sandy go to the dance together, but Rizzo goes with Leo, leader of the Scorpions, and Kenickie goes with Leo's girlfriend, Cha Cha. Vince Fontaine, a famous D.J., whom all the girls at the dance seem to fancy, is judging the dance, and he seems especially friendly towards Marty.

Danny and Sandy are the final couple on the dancefloor, but Cha Cha, who turns out to be one of Danny's former girlfriends, separates them, and Danny wins the dance with her instead. Sandy is upset, but she and Danny are reconciled at a drive-in movie. Danny gives Sandy his ring, but attempts to take advantage of her, and she leaves, furious. Meanwhile, Rizzo is the talk of the drive-in when she reveals to Marty that she has missed her period. Meanwhile, Greased Lightnin' has had a thourough make-over, and is ready for the Thunder Road races. Kenickie asks Danny to be his second, and the whole gang turns up for the race, except Rizzo. Kenickie bangs his head on the car door when he bends down to pick up a penny, which Marty has given him for good luck (which turns out to be bad luck!), which means that Danny has to drive for him. He wins the race against Leo. Finally, at Rydell High's graduation carnival, it is revealed that Sandy has reinvented herself to please Danny, much as he has for her. The two, ultimately happy, drive off amidst singing and dancing.

Differences from stage play The original stage play had more sexual references than the MPAA would allow under a PG rating. In the original stage play, there was references to using plastic wrap as a condom, which had to be removed. To overcome the censors, there were not any blatant references to this, but Danny briefly rubs plastic wrap over his crotch during "Greased Lightning". Several musical numbers were not used in the film. They appear, however, as jukebox tunes, or band numbers at the high school dance. Among them: "Freddy, My Love", "Those Magic Changes", and "It's Raining on Prom Night" all of which were performed by characters in the stage musical (however, Danny does sing along with the band for a few lines of "Those Magic Changes"; on Broadway, the character Doody sang the song). "Grease Lightning" was supposed to be sung by Jeff Conaway's character, Kenickie, as it is in the stage version. John Travolta used his clout to have his character sing it. The director felt it was only right to ask Conaway if it was okay. At first he refused, but he eventually gave in.

Also, one of the characters in the stage play, Roger, is named Putzie in the movie version. Olivia Newton-John's producer John Farrar wrote two new songs for the movie version: "Hopelessly Devoted To You" and "You're The One That I Want", while Bee Gees lead singer Barry Gibb wrote "Grease". In the musical, Sandy is American and her last name is Dumbrowski. Since Newton-John couldn't affect an American accent, her character was changed to an Australian transfer student and her last name was changed to Olsson. In the musical, the boys' gang is called the Burger Palace Boys. In the movie, the name was changed to the T-Birds (a reference to The Beach Boys song Fun, Fun, Fun). Also, their rivals on stage were called the Flaming Dukes. In the movie it was changed to The Scorpions. The movie also featured the leader of the rival group throughout the movie and during the race as Thunder Road, the entire group is revealed.

Production Casting Singer Olivia Newton-John had done little acting before this film, and was terrified of the idea of playing a lead role in a film musical.She even asked for a screen test which was very uncommon for an actor or actress to suggest. Two actors who were seen for the film were Henry Winkler and Marie Osmond. Winkler, who was playing Fonzie on Happy Days ( 1974 ), was originally chosen to play Danny but didn't for fear of being typecast. Osmond turned down the role of Sandy because she didn't like the fact that Sandy had to "turn bad" to get the boy. Adult film star Harry Reems was originally signed to play Coach Calhoun. Producers got cold feet weeks before filming and replaced him with Sid Caesar. Dinah Manoff passed her audition without being given a singing or dancing tryout. Her skills in those areas proved limited, so she was moved into the background during the song numbers.
