Audience Reviews for Blue Hawaii

    Hawaii (circa 1961) and ol'swivel hips is our personal tour guide. Angela Lansbury plays comic relief as his overmomming Southern mommie and Floyd the barber's in there, too, for comic backup lest attention starts to wander. This is strictly for fans of the Pelvis though. Hawaii looks good too. Rock-A-Hula, baby!

    For your consideration,it's Elvis.Excellent rockabilly singer,what's with the acting you'll ask yourselves?Nothing really,it's for the sake of girlies.Tacky situations and camp classic for those who...dare to sit through (I did).It's a fun passing time if you can handle it and it's mainly interesting to watch Lansbury on a jumpy role.
