Why We Rated This for Ages 13 and Up

What to watch out for

• Messages:

  Male characters view females as sex objects. One T-Bird claims that that "chicks" are "only good for one thing." Unpopular students are the butt of several jokes. Sandy and Danny act against their respective natures to try to impress each other.
• Violence :

  While playing sports, Danny hits two students and snaps an umpire's mask. A T-Bird draws his switchblade in preparation for a rumble.
• Sex :

  A character is briefly shown in her bra. Characters are seen making out. At the drive-in, Danny makes a pass at Sandy. Sexual activity is implied when two characters discuss a broken condom, resulting in Rizzo's fear she may be pregnant. Naked derrieres are seen when characters moon a passing car and, later, a television camera. The T-Birds discuss female anatomy, and one fellow peeks up the skirts of female students. The Pink Ladies dance around in their nighties mocking Sandy's virginity. The song "Greased Lightnin'" has strong sexual content, though the innuendo may go over the heads of younger viewers.
• Language:

  Fairly mild, mostly of the sexual variety. Characters use an obscene finger gesture.
• Consumerism:

  Not an issue.
• Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

  Characters smoke, drink, and spike the punch at the school dance.
