An exceedingly superficial film lacking a cohesive plot and notable acting performances. However, the dance sequences, costumes, and notably the music and editing contribute significantly to my overall impression of 30%... ()
I filled a huge gap in my film education. As a film fan, I just had to see this movie. And I must say, I am pleasantly surprised. I did not expect the side storylines dedicated to immigration issues and children's rebellion against their parents. It's funny to see John Travolta in his early age and watch his dance moves. It's hard to believe that it's the same guy who plays in the movie Pulp Fiction. ()
When I first saw the film and thought it would just be another Grease, I was pleasantly surprised. The Bee Gees' songs evoke a slightly different vibe, but this is a proper drama that also boasts beautiful songs and excellent dance numbers. But the story takes the lead, and that's good because it's excellent and wonderfully directed. ()
