I made the mistake of buying the dvd mainly because I love the original. I knew it hardly set the box office alight in America, but I was hoping it would be like Grease 2 i.e so bad its good.
Its not, its awful in fact I switched it off half way through because I just couldn't get into it at all. It looks and feels cheap, it reminRAB me of those soft porn films they have on C5 late a night in the way its filmed. Its meant to be the fifties but It doesn't have a feel for the era. The characters are unlikeable, and don't get me started on Patrick Swayze's cameo! He looks dog rough, one too many botox jabs if you ask me!
Avoid this at all costs!
