I watched this movie at a family get-together. The only reason I enjoyed this film was because we could all joke about it. I hate Gidget with a passion--what a brat! Her parent want to take her to Hawaii; she gets all upset because she's just been pinned by her boyfriend Moon Doggy(what a name. I cringe whenever I hear it). She tells him about it, he says,"Have a great time," she's insulted! They go to Hawaii, Gidg just mopes around, so her father PAYS FOR HER BOYFRIEND TO COME OUT TO JOIN HER! Is that unrealistic or what? I just can't continue. This movie is a joke. But it gave my family a good laugh; we still sing,"She's quite a girl..."
