Aaron Tveit and Julianne Hough play the roles of Danny and Sandy. With their relationship stalling, Sandy is befriended by girl clique the Pink Ladies, headed by the meddling Rizzo (Vanessa Hudgens), who is also vying for Danny's affections. The cast also includes Carly Rae Jepsen and Didi Conn, the original Frenchie. (Paramount Home Entertainment)

Everyone sings, dances, works hard, and shines perfectly in every song and even in every exhilarating transition from stage to stage. I adore the original musical and wouldn't miss the Czech version, which I saw live. But this is the most Greased of all the Grease productions, where I stare amazed at the screen and cheer for everything and everyone. Greased Lightnin' and Born to Hand Jive charm the most, the "captured" race surprises the most, and Vanessa Hudgens is the most emotional, transforming Rizzo, not one of my favorite characters, into an unforgettable role even in her toughest moments. Rydell forever.

I wouldn't give it 100%, just 95%, but that's only because I believe the original is simply the original, and Travolta was a better Danny. But I have a soft spot for the songs from Grease, I have a soft spot for Julianne Hough, so definitely a great rendition for me. Moreover, I like how they managed to handle all the scenes in this essentially theatrical setting. Grease will simply always work.
