Synopsis
Spoiler shield
It's 1961, two years after the original Grease gang graduated, and there's a new crop of seniors and new members of the coolest cliques on campus, the Pink Ladies and T-Birds. Michael Carrington is the new kid in school - but he's been branded a brainiac. Can he fix up an old motorcycle, don a leather jacket, avoid a rumble with the leader of the T-Birds, and win the heart of Pink Lady Stephanie?
“The Music and Feeling go on Forever.”

- Andre Gonzales★ 4/10
Not any where close as good as the first. Just not the same vibe. The songs are horrible. Also the storyline is horrible.
