Leave your thoughts about Grease 2.
| VarietyVariety StaffWhere this film has a decided edge on its predecessor is in the staging and cutting of the musical sequences. |
| Washington PostGary Arnold"Grease 2" is the most serendipitous sequel in recent memory. It is an ingratiating, jubilant improvement on a crummy original. |
| NewsweekDavid AnsenDefinitely of the so-bad-it's-almost-good genre, this kinda stands the test of time in a camp way, mainly because of the charm of Pfeiffer and Carrington. |
| Empire MagazineEmma CochraneDefinitely of the so-bad-it's-almost-good genre, this kinda stands the test of time in a camp way, mainly because of the charm of Pfeiffer and Carrington. |
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrLight years ahead of Randal Kleiser's 1978 original, this 1982 sequel employs the Shakespearean marriage plot so beloved of classic musicals, in which two mismatched couples are straightened out and the songs express the moral distinctions of love and sex. |
| Boston GlobeBruce McCabeThe singing, dancing and staging isn't memorable in Grease 2. It's just imaginative and energetic enough to keep you interested. The same can be said for the whole film. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Jay ScottThe sequel to Grease is not much more than a remake, wherein every minute detail is nothing more than an attempt to pilfer the magic of the first film. |
| Slant MagazineEric HendersonAs far as '50s-styled cornball tributes to heavy-petting go, Grease 2 has got nothing on Prince's "Jack U Off." |
| Time OutFrances DickinsonSheer energy, a handful of good tunes (including a great theme song from the Four Tops), and some very funny one-liners save the day. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThis movie just recycles "Grease," without the stars, without the energy, without the freshness and without the grease. |
