Classic movie rated before "PG-13", keep that in mind.
No doubt about it. "Grease" is a classic. Just a classic that should be showed to people 13 and up.
Lots of talk about sex between the T-Pig- I mean the T-birds sadly portray gangs in High School accurately.
While a classic, Grease has some things that shouldn't be shown to those under ten. . However it does show some consequences of sexual habits by making Miss Rizzo think she's pregnant. Yet the songs are memorable and Sandy's very likeable and friendly to everyone.
the bad stuff: a lot of kissing and making out, some language, the S word on a song, teens smoking and drinking.
the good stuff: no positive role models or messages, so i think the only good thing was the movie itself.
the movie: OK if you don't like musicals, good if you do
this is my favorite movie but it isnt appropriate for younger kids. some songs have suggestive content. such as summer nights. greased lightning, and look at me i'm sandra dee. the gym teacher also approves of danny smoking a certain amount pack of cigarettes a day. But over all it was great movie.
I am currently 13 years old, and this has been my FAVORITE movie since I was 1 year old (no joke). Yes, it is inapropriate, but the characters are so easy to fall in love with. I love John Trovolta and Olivia Newton-John. Definitely not a waste of your time!
I love grease ! I have seen it 17 times. It is a great movie and I would suggest it. But I think there is a little too much sexy stuff, and some of language is questionable. Also it encourages girls to change for boys. Like I said before this is my favorite movie ever. It all depends on how mature your kids are. I watched Grease by myself because my mom thought I could handle it, but I'm not every kid out there.
I saw this when i was like five and i loved it. everything went straight over my head, now that i think about it. So if you do show kids this just tell them not to say or do whatever bad thing comes up in the movie.
I'll be frank about not liking musicals, but this has got to be one of the greatestr I've ever seen! It never takes itself that seriously, more of a satire of a musical really. It's a must-see movie for the whole fam.
I was in my school's (toned down!) production of this movie, and although I was mad that in Summer Nights they wouldn't let us sing "We made out under the dock" (c'mon, we're 11 - 14) it was tons of fun. The movie was great too, and John Travolta really can dance! It may be awkward for kids under 11 to watch Rizzo and Kenicke making out, although above 9 I'd say it's okay to watch, and they may not get the whole broken condom thing which is good if you don't want them to. Greased Lightning is a very sexual song but you probably won't get it the first time around. The characters smoke, and the broken condom thing is presented in a negative way, not encouraging teens to have sex. Good, moral movie.
It does have a lot of sexual things in it, but I mean, come on, it's classic!!!!!!
11+ should be fine to watch it.
I never liked it before I turned 14, but now it's my favorite movie.
So younger kids may not even be interested.
Chill out, worried parents. I know you're concerned, but I'd put up the battle against the Saw movies and American Pie instead of this one.
Something my mom always tells me: Pick your battles!!!!!
Obiously as you can see a lot of ppl have different oppinions but seriously this is my fav movie and my moms and grandmother's fav movie to... I first saw it when i was 4 years old seriosly at that age the word sex goes through one ear and out the other to younger age from baby to 9 years old it is just a good musical so i would say it is a great family movie now for 10 and above u may wanna watch out cuz characters have language such as jugs which means breast so ur child may think jugs mean somethin different cuz i remember i did till i got up into age also at the drive in scene danny is shown trying to touch sandy plus Rizzo and the other pink ladies r shown making fun of sandy's virginity and trying to get her to smoke and drink and also rizzo and kinnickie r shown makin out or even more than tht and after rizzo thimks she may be pregnant and other than that its great:)<3 hope this helps!
Great movie, really great! I loved it so much. I rate it on for 12+, not because it's inappropriate for younger viewers, it's just that children under 12 might not understand most of the jokes/sensual scenes.
Violence - Isn't really an issue, the worst is maybe an attempt at a fist fight.
Sex - A character is briefly shown in her bra, characters are seen making out several times, at the drive-in a character makes a pass at another character, sexual words are spoken when two characters talk about a broken condom resulting in a character's fear that she may be pregnant, bare butts are seen when some characters moon a television camera, male characters discuss female anatomy, one male looks up the skirts of a female student, female characters dance around in their lingerie making fun of a character's virginity, the song "Greased Lightnin" has some mild sexual content..
Language - Mild. Just like "sh-t", "t-ts", "dammit", etc. Mostly sexual content.
Drinking, smoking, drugs - Lots of the "cool" characters smoke and drink. At a slumber party, female characters persuade another female character to try some wine and to try smoking. She does.
I think this movie has a great plot but there is too much sexual material. Alot of stuff will go over the younger viewers heads. But for those who have a grasp on it will be able to pick it up.
