Why watch this? ... the musical numbers are light and fun. Plus it's Travolta and ON-J - pure pop gold!

Plot Summary: Danny Zuko, leader of the T-Birds greaser gang, and Sandy Olsson, a sweet Australian girl, fall in love during a summer romance. When Sandy unexpectedly transfers to Danny's high school, Rydell High, their relationship becomes complicated due to their conflicting social groups. Throughout the school year, Danny and Sandy navigate peer pressure, teenage cliques, and their own insecurities to determine if their summer love can survive the realities of high school.

Dad's Preview: My pack of toxic masculinity wouldn't be caught dead watching a musical. Honestly, I don't remember when I first saw the film, but I did like the hits from it on am radio. I did have a major crush on the blond babe from Down Unda. This racy little ode to high school in the 1950's is loads of fun. I learned all about greasers and bobby-sock girls. It's got it all: the school dance, a dangerous drag race, even a pregnancy scare! The soundtrack is amazing, too: Greased Lightnin, Summer Nights, and my fave - You're the One That I Want.
