DVD Description
This film adaptation of GREASE is the zippy smash hit translation from the Broadway musical tribute to the fabulous 1950s. As a new school year begins, wholesome Australian exchange student Sandy (pop star Olivia Newton-John) and duck-tailed, leather-jacketed Danny (John Travolta) parlay their summertime romance into an on-and-off attraction that may or may not cross clique lines. Sandy seriously cramps Danny's style, so he dumps her. In response, Sandy begins dating a wholesome athlete, but, as a hedge, she also joins the gum-chewin', tough-talkin' clique known as the Pink Ladies. One of the most beloved musicals of all time, the popular soundtrack includes 'You're the One that I Want', 'Hopelessly Devoted to You', 'Sandy', 'Summer Nights', and the title tune.

...of us that where brought up with Grease can still remember all the songs, and the great thing about the DVD is that you get a song book so now you can get the right words to the songs that for the last 25 years you probably (if you are like myself) have been singing wrong.
There is a down side to the DVD and that is the soundtrack. It sounds as if the makers have dubbed the original soundtrack with one that has been enhanced to Dolby Digital and when a song starts playing you can really notice the change. I also found that in places the music didn't seem to match exactly what they were singing. It is a distraction when watching the film but not so much that it spoils the film entirely.
There are not many extras on this DVD. All you get is an Interview with Cast and Filmmakers and the Original Theatrical Trailer. It would have been...
