Edit - re-wrote the entire post to make my thoughts more coherent
Grease is such a weird movie because I couldn't tell where it's started and were it ended. things just didn't make sense eg Betty and Sandy got into an argument in a second and they apparently stop talking to each other even though Sandy is still talking to the main pink group and then for them to just resolve it also a second towards the end.
Also Sandy's glow up felt weird and forced. She fell for a guy 3 tumes who didnt respect her as much as she did him (evident in the first song) and ig go be delulu girl. Youd think after the movie thing shed have changed but no, she changes her entire aesthetic just for the boy and ONLY THEN does he actually meet her in the middle like girl get up.
The weird cuts and time skips had me suspending my disbelief more than a typical fictional movie would've because i just couldnt make sense of it. They picked up plot lines then dropped them in the next 10 minutes without actually resolving them(Rizzo's pregnancy scare and Danny's dance woth the other girl)The only saving grace was the music and the crumbs of kinicke x danny
But idk maybe that's how stories were told back then cause my mom really enjoyed re-watching it and she sang along to some of the songs.
Anyway, #kenickexdanny truther
More or less confusing than reading a 163 long sentence without a single punctuation mark?

Yeah, reading that felt like the script got stuck in fast‑forward. Google Voice really went method‑acting on the chaos.

Google Voice typing really said “no punctuation, only vibes.” Happens to the best of us.

rizzo and sandy had like zero chemistry as friends and the whole pink ladies dynamic felt so forced. the movie jumps around so much it's hard to follow who's supposed to be close with who and why sandy keeps going back to danny after he's a complete ass to her multiple times is beyond me. that ending where she completely changes herself for a guy who treated her like garbage is not the vibe.

To be fair, he tried to change himself first. Not that Danny wasn't an ass, but the story acknowledges that. And he doesn't ask her to change. she decides she wants to and consults with Frenchy, not Danny, about how to do it.
The movie is a nostalgic (and silly) celebration of 50s Greaser culture. She didn't change just for the guy.

All the friendships felt forced and weird. Danny fr blew up at his friends in one scene and then goes to hanging out with them again? Like be more serious bro. I should've been in the Writer's room

The entire middle of the movie is him trying to change for her, (e.g. he takes track and field) in the end sandy doesn't change FOR Danny, she changes to throw off teh shackles of 1950s conformity and forced feminine demurity. She stops being Sandra Dee not for Danny, but for her own liberation.

People just giving OP shit for expressing his opinion lol. People can't think of any constructive conversation so lets just insult his imperfect writing and say his brain must have be rotted. This is listnook not a writers guild.
I don't like this movie either to be honest I just find it weird and annoying. The "tell me more" song is fun though and I like John Travolta. The car flying off at the end is pretty funny I appreciate when some movies just throw some random crazy shit in and don't elaborate. It keeps you guessing.

So you missed the best musical number at the end . Regret might still be happening.
Also both movies have a very shady relationship with consent.
