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.

There is a gender-flipped gonzo goofiness to the film that was wildly ahead of its time in ’82 and, sadly, likely remains so today.

What I want from this material is a stylized rock musical, and what I keep getting are stale Broadway routines.

Unlike Grease's "cool" Rizzo (Stockard Channing), Stephanie doesn't have to be mean to anyone who doesn't fit into her Pink Lady standard. She's just cool, period.

Grease 2 is a near-unmitigated failure: commercially, creatively, basically entirely.

A kind of watered down version of a John Waters movie with unmemorable songs (but Tab Hunter's 'Reproduction' is a stand-out).

The music is awesome and the costumes are bananas good. Two of the most gorgeous humans on the planet and lots of laughs. This movie is so underrated.

The overwhelming weakness that few bring up here, is that you have a high school student body that averages about 37 years of age. It just strains credibility. This is a movie, not a play, it matters.

A boy literally eats a cigarette in this movie, which is why I gave this movie 2 stars instead of 1 just because of how hilarious the scene was. There is a full song about the "birds and the bees." I am not joking. The whole sequence was a fever dream. Frenchie is in the movie, which immediately makes this movie better. Songs are mediocre, forgettable, and pale in comparison to the soundtrack from the first movie. This movie feels like if Grease and High School Musical were mashed together, but all the parts that made those movies good were not included.

Watching this now after not viewing this since 1982 in a theatre! I am in awe of Michelle Pfeiffer! A true natural beauty that has withstood the ages. This movie (although flawed on so many levels) deserves a place proudly next to its predecessor. Great songs, fun dance numbers and a gender bending premise WAY ahead of its time!

Corny and cliche do t even begin to cover it, but there’s something endearing about Grease 2. Whether it’s the nostalgia or the great production quality of the sets and costumers, it’s not entirely bad.

This is absolute camp joy from beginning to end. The awful singing and acting just adds to the nostalgia.
