Negative Positive
Title: Wop-Bob-A-Lou-Bop-Dud
Review: Overblown, overlong, and over-acted film, with the original stage show considerably re-vamped and re-written to appeal to the same audience that made t.v.'s Happy Days a ratings hit. Most ridculous of all, the entire cast of "highschool age students" is about ten years too old to pass for teenagers.Travolta & Newton-John are generally appealing, Stockard Channing is a winner, and cameos by the likes of Eve Arden and Alice Ghostly are charming, but the over-age cast largely robs the film of anything approaching youthful engery and zest. Truly tired film lacking excitment in every possible way.
