Finally got around to seeing this movie because my kids discovered it and decided to watch it constantly for about a week. Despite all of the hype and hubbub about this movie I've got to admit: it wasn't that bad of a movie.
There's a little bit of Grease in this movie as in the two main characters come from different sides of the tracks - but that is where the Grease connection ends. This isn't a romance movie or love story of which I thought it was going to be. Instead this movie is about being true to yourself and doing what you want to do not want someone else is dictating you do to. The movie stays very close to this theme never letting the romance hinder the plot or theme - for that I respect this movie.
The musical scenes were directed and choreographed with some serious passion and energy much better than most of the musicals that churn out of Hollywood.
I can see why this movie took off with the teenage crowd and it was interesting to see how this little movie came out nowhere and settled into the pop culture as violent as it did, when it did.
