Stephanie Zinone (Michelle Pfeiffer) is the leader of Rydell High School's Pink Ladies, a gang of girls who are counterparts of the school's group of greasers called the T-Birds. Stephanie is tired of her relationship with top T-Bird Johnny Nogerelli (Adrian Zmed), so she breaks up with him and quickly catches the eye of English exchange student Michael Carrington (Maxwell Caulfield). Hoping to win her over, Michael tries to overcome his nerdy ways while holding off the jealous Johnny.

Critics Consensus

Grease 2 is undeniably stocked with solid songs and well-choreographed dance sequences, but there's no getting around the fact that it's a blatant retread of its far more entertaining predecessor.

A sequel rivalled only by Ecorcist II for testing the agony threshold of the audience.

It isn't really in bad taste, but it certainly isn't the best of taste.

Grease 2 is admittedly a fantasy, but what a low dream it offers.

Grease 2 is like a high school football game in which some pranksters sneak in halfway through and deflate the ball.

I actually quite liked the lively, spoofy spirit of Grease 1, but this copy doesn't get it together despite its endless, relentlessly jolly song and dance routines.

Consistently embarrassing, Grease 2 may please those who didn't see the original, but for the rest of us, it's strictly a case of déjà vu.

Only reason it got a 1/2 star, was because the first one helped it a bit. Other than that, this is a horrible sequel

The only reason they have a 33 is because of Michelle Pfeiffer and Frenchieâ(TM)s cameo

It's so awful, I thought it was intended to be a farce of the original. It's so bad, it's funny.

despite some beautiful songs and well done choreographies.Grease 2 was a disappointment compared to its predecessor.presents a predictable plot, sexist dialogues and almost repeats the same story from the first sequel. When I first saw it I thought it was good, but when I watched it for the second time comparing with the first one I found it much lower, even Michelle Pfeiffer as the beginning of her career.

If you go into this movie expecting to see "Grease", then you will not be impressed. Sure, the school is the same, the stables of "the T birds" and "the Pink Lady's" are still there with some characters from the first one rehashed as well, This movie does get a lot of criticism, as people tend to compare it to its predecessor, which is not fair...to an extent. Though the story is generally the same as the first one, it is not told the same however, rather than two people changing to try to win the love of the other, "Grease 2" only really sees one person trying to change to win the other. This movie is long, some of the dance numbers are vastly drawn out for what seems like no reason. The music is not terrible and performed well, with the given material. The same can be said about the acting. The actors do a decent job with the given material. Director Patrica Birch (who also worked on the first one) does a passable job as director, in fact, the direction is not bad at all with the story she was working with. If you go in expecting to see the first one, you will not enjoy it. As a child, I loved this movie, as I also loved the first one. Now, as an adult, I would not say I still love it, but it is enjoyable to watch. Its worth watching at least once, if you are into musicals. If you found the first one to just be "okay", do not watch it, you will hate it.
