What to Know

Critics Consensus

Grease: Live took the pressure and threw away conventionality -- it belongs to yesterday. There was a chance that it could make it so far; we started believin' we can be who we are. Grease: Live is the word.

Caroline Framke Vox If Grease Live had more moments to work with like "There Are Worse Things I Could Do," it might have been truly special - but there was only so much it could do when the musical itself didn't have anything else to give. Feb 2, 2016 Full Review Alexis Okeowo New Yorker High school itself is the nineteen-fifties of our imagination, always easier in our memories than it was in reality. With Grease, we can pretend we still want to go back. Feb 2, 2016 Full Review Drew Grant Observer Even within the constrains of a live, televised event-which, let's be clear, Fox DOES know how to blow out, when it wants to-I couldn't help think that Grease: Live was just a dud. Feb 2, 2016 Full Review Marisa Carpico The Pop Break Still, regardless of its flaws, Grease: Live was fantastic television. Rated: 7.5/10 Dec 25, 2018 Full Review Mariah Smith Cosmopolitan I'm telling the world now, I'd sell my entire immediate family down the river for five minutes alone with Doody. Mar 7, 2018 Full Review Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media Thrilling live musical is fun, has iffy messages galore. Rated: 4/5 Feb 9, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member It's hard! Hard to watch this extensively long movie. Grease is my favorite movie so I apologize because I'm going to be very bias. I feel like this movie was not only unnecessary but from my point of view unwanted. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Something about Vanessa Hudgens doesn't sit right.
