Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Grease actually is?
Just got out of Grease and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

The cinematography in Grease is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Director clearly thought Grease was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Grease?
Everyone praising the Grease performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

Unpopular opinion: Grease is the most overrated film of the decade
Honestly, Grease would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.
