A Semi-Smashing Soundtrack, But Lacking

Review Score: (8/10)
It is a great cd with some memorable vocal perfomances, but the orignal broadway soundtrack is still a must-have for true Grease fans. Travolta is solid and Oliva Newton-John has that nice girl act down pat, but where are the most meaningful songs of the show? The movie made the mistake of making it a two character film. Yes, a two character film (Danny and Sandy). Where was Doody with Those Magic Changes or Roger lightening up the mood with Mooning? There were other characters in the original show that should at least be heard. Producer Alan Carr destroyed an ensemble cast. Why did they leave out the most bebopping song, All Choked Up? You're the One That I Want is fine if you like a little disco flare served with your burger and fries at a fifties malt shop. The soundtrack has the style of any big screen musical, but it is definitely a disappointment to anyone who knows the Broadway version.
