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

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.

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.
