Critic Reviews for The Girl Can't Help It
All Critics (12) | Top Critics (3) | Fresh (9) | Rotten (3)
A veritable Parthenon of vulgarity and a supremely unfunny comedy that is pure eau de Fifty-Six.
Sure, the scenery is splashy and sporty in color and CinemaScope. But the show is as meager and witless as a cheap pin-up magazine joke.
Tashlin's savage lampoon of American notions of success and fulfillment is hilarious and genuinely appealing.
If Tashlin had had the nerve, he would have romantically paired Jayne Mansfield with Little Richard and set race relations in the United States forward by about thirty years.
A sweet little fifties gem that should be viewed for the endearing tale and of course, who doesn't love Ms. Mansfield?...
A pungent satire on the worlds of PR and rock music.
Audience Reviews for The Girl Can't Help It
It's the old story of the gangster who wants his girl to be a star that's the plot for this movie, and it's a very funny plot. Together with good actors and a rock soundtrack, this is a great movie, I loved it.
