Now, I may be overly sentimental at times, but I’m a sucker for a high energy musical with catchy tunes and an upbeat predictable story. In return for this, I’m willing to overlook that twenty and even thirty somethings are playing high school seniors. The story is simple, but the performers are great as they pound out songs that are still familiar thirty years later.
Set at a 1950s high school, Danny Zucho (John Travolota) is torn between pursuing true love with Sandy (Olivia Newton-John) or maintaining his cool, tough guy image for his friends. Sandy, in the meantime, has to adjust to a new school, where her new friends include the tough chick, Rizzo (Stockard Channing) and the sweet girl, Frenchie (Didi Conn). There is a drive-in party, dance contest and a drag race climax. What more do you need?
For those of you who missed this one because of an extended jail term, or simply because you are too young, it is worth catching on video, particularly if you enjoyed the recent Hairspray release.
