Grease 2
Well, I've never seen Grease so seeing the sequel probably wasn't the way to go, but I am willing to bet continuity isn't an issue.
It's a musical, and a comedy. I didn't really find it very funny, and I didn't particularly enjoy the songs. "Reproduction" was tough to get through..but "Who's that Guy" at least had some groove to it. In fact, the groove in the music was very disco 80's, at least with the bass playing. Kind of a Rocky Horror Picture Show music vibe when it ran on stage in the early 80's. That syncopated thing with the bass and kick drum.It's not all out disco, of course. But I could sense the style and era pretty easily, masking as early 1960's, and it wasn't authentic in that sense.
Anyway, getting way off track. I noticed a bunch of familiar faces. Adrien Zmed from Bachelor Party, Michelle Pfeifer (ah, so HOT!!!),Joe Piscopo,..I could go on. Tons of ppl I am aware of and have often enjoyed in other films.
I guess this wasn't really my thing. I definitely like the idea of what this movie is. It's a fun kind of movie, and a campy movie, and a relax, unwind, and unplug kind of movie. The only culprit would be the actual songwriting. I didn't care for it very much.
Will I revisit this on blu ray sometime down the line?
Yes.
Why?
Because it's hard for me to watch a musical like this when I've had a 55hr week from hell working with half assers, and that's just the truth. These kinds of thing affect my state of mind. And as a few of you may or may not know, I'm all about second chances and rewatches for different perspective.
Plus, I really crammed this at the last minute. I literally just finished it after work, on my supposed day off!
@Citizen Rules..it won't be my least favorite, and I still absolutely trust your judgment, regardless of my less than stellar viewing of Grease 2.
