| | I have always lived this movie and know it by heart. | kema 03/09/2007 | | The sexiest Michelle Phiefer movie ever. This is such a great sequel to the original Grease, which I've seen over a 2,000 times. I can honestly say, that grease to impressed me soo much as a young valley girl growing up in Las Vegas that I actually dreamt of becoming a pink lady. Michelle Pheiffer is excellent as Stephanie. Every role is awesome. Paulette, Sharon, Johnny........Etc.. I love it and can mouth every word in the movie still 15 years later. Great musical and cast. I absulotely hate the fact that I just read that it did not do well back in the day............... Why THE HECK NOT!!!!! THIS IS A GREAT MOVIE PEOPLE... Truth Straight from old school Vegas crew. Go T-birds and Pink Ladies tattoos anyone??? |
