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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Still, regardless of its flaws, Grease: Live was fantastic television.

I'm telling the world now, I'd sell my entire immediate family down the river for five minutes alone with Doody.
