I really liked the soundtrack to this movie and was especially impressed with the title song by Barry Gibb. I also liked the classy dance routines. The "boy meets girl" story was rather sentimental and corny but that was all part of the fun of this film.
I thought Frenchie, the beauty school dropout, was one of the most likable characters. At one point she says "Beauty school sure wasn't what I thought it would be" and gets the reply "Nothing ever is." At the school dance she says "How do I look?" and her partner replies "like a beautiful blonde pineapple!"
Danny and the boys try to be super-cool macho men but their efforts never quite succeed, especially when the girls are around, which makes for many comic situations.
The climax of the movie comes with the Thunder Road scene...
