Did you know that John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John were in another film together after “Grease”? And did you know that it was a baffling, illogical, poorly conceived romantic comedy called “Two of a Kind”? You did? Oh. Then you’re ahead of me, because I didn’t know any of this until recently. Anyway, “Two of a Kind” is the subject of this week’s edition of Eric’s Bad Movies at Film.com. It makes me think J.T. and O.N.-J. should have gone ahead and done “Grease 2,” too. I mean, why not?
I LOVE Scatman Crothers! And I liked John Travolta in Hairspray and also in Welcome Back, Kotter.
I envision this story being told by a second grade student….”and then John Travolta wears a wig and a funny mustache,. and then, he falls off a bridge and lands on Olivia, and then he goes to heaven, and then there’s a pie fight.”
So help me, when I was a kid I actually really liked this movie. After reading that column, I wonder why I was such a stupid child.
Wow, this movie sounds apocalyptically bad. Srsly.
It’s no wonder that John Travolta’s career was pretty much dead for awhile after he did this film. “Stayin’ Alive,” which came out the same year, also didn’t help much either. Why was he choosing such crappy projects in the 80’s?
Dougrad: The same reason he choose such crappy projects during the rest of his career, John Travolta just has really bad taste.
