Gidget Goes Hawaiian (1961)

My Rating

Movie Info

This second film in the "Gidget" series stars Deborah Walley as Francie Lawrence, better known as Gidget. After being disappointed in love by surfin' dude Moondoggie (James Darren), Gidge joins her parents (Carl Reiner, Jeff Donnell) on a Hawaiian vacation. Complications ensue when Moondoggie likewise arrives in the islands, only to find Gidget "that way" about local beach stud Eddie Horner (Michael Callan). In general, Gidget Goes Hawaiian isn't up to the standards of the original Gidget,

Mounts a case as the real progenitor of the Frankie and Annette beach blanket bingo cycle.

Audience Reviews for Gidget Goes Hawaiian

Cute comedy with a better supporting cast than usually found in this kind of film. It's nice to see the parents not portrayed like total morons or stick figures.

Super Reviewer

It isn't as good as the first "Gidget" with Sandra Dee. However, it is a good movie over all. James Darren returns and is just as great as he was in the first.
