Sandy Denny - Under Review DVD

Advantages: Decent storyline, decent acting, nice songs
Disadvantages: A bit cheesy really!

...Before I start this review I will let you know now that I love this film and have loved it since I first saw it when I was just a child. I saw the DVD on sale at £5 and had to buy it as I remembered the fun I used to have singing along to my record (yes record) of the soundtrack of the film. I was that bad that I wore the first record out and my mum had to buy me a second one - and I knew all of the words! You can get this on Amazon for as little as £5.10 or on ebay for around the same price so my advice as always is to shop around before you buy. **The Film** Set in the summer of 1958, Danny Zuko (John Travolta) and Sandy Olsson (Olivia Newton-John) meet whilst on holiday and fall in love. This is to be short-lived as Sandy is to return to Australia with her parents and Danny is to go back to school in the States. However... Read review

Advantages: Storyline
Disadvantages: None

...Marathon) within a few weeks so in order get back with Libby, Dennis enters the Marathon as well to prove him self. Its not as simple however.

What I Thought ******************* Dennis is a very good character that plays a bit of an under dog especially seeing that his enemy, Whit has run Marathons before compared to him where he's unfit and out of shape. This can be seen on the scene where Dennis walks out of his flat and runs about 10 metres down the road and has to stop because of how out of breathe he is. The London... Read review

Advantages: Maxwell Caulfield!
Disadvantages: The sequel not being as good as the original.

...'t worked. If you are a fan of the first movie then this will be a big disappointment and I can see why it was such a flop at the cinemas. It is really quite a slap-dash movie with a complete lack of direction. It tries to follow on from the first one but fails to deliver the quality of storyline and music that Grease had. I have watched this a few times and only 2 or 3 of the songs are catchy enough for me to sing along with or even whistle the tune in the house. **DVD Info** Region - 2 (PAL) Languages - English, French, German, Spanish, Italian Run Time - around 110 minutes Certificate - 12 (not really suitable for children under 12) Cast - Maxwell Caulfield, Michelle Pfeiffer, Didi Conn, Adam Zmed, Christopher McDonald, Peter Frechette, Leif Green, Lorna Luft, Maureen Teefy, Alison Price, Pamela Segall, Dennis Stewart, Sid Caesar...
