5.0 out of 5 stars Sandra Dee at her liveliest and her most appealing!, September 26, 2000
By chad edwards (cincinnati, ohio USA) - See all my reviews
There were three films centering on the perky, fun-loving beach bunny, Gidget. This was the first and by far the best!!!!! Pert and pretty Sandra Dee was seventeen and at her liveliest and most appealing when she made this cute little flick. She is absolutely irresistable in the title role, a cute, fun-loving American teenage girl who would rather hit the beach than chase after boys like her other girlfriends. However, when she meets two handsome beachbums, Gidget goes a little boy-crazy herself and experiences first love in the process. This is a warm, charming, and funny movie. I have no doubt that this is the film that made Sandra Dee such a popular star. It's easy to see why she became the idol of so many American girls and boys alike. If you're looking for good, clean and solid fun, then GIDGET is the movie for you!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best, October 24, 2001
By A Customer
This is by far the best of all the Gidget movies. Sandra Dee is and will always be "the Gidget". She is cute, perky, and made me wish for brown eyes to go with my blonde hair!!! Too bad colored contacts hadn't been invented in 1960.
I am a teacher and used this movie several years ago with a unit on the beach. It was shown to a bunch of street wise multicultured children and they LOVED it!!! We had to rush through lunch to get back to the classroom to see what happened to the "little tomboy"! Gidget will never grow old!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Clean Fun, October 17, 2001
By Brenda (Utah) - See all my reviews
Gidget is a young underdeveloped teen who is a bit behind her friends. While they all want to chase boys, all she wants to do is learn how to surf.
She becomes friends with a group of surfer boys who teach her how. She also develops a crush on one of them (Moondoggie).
As the movie progresses we watch Gidget learn about life and love. We watch her get her heart broken, and then find happiness in the end.
Gidget is a great movie to watch with your friends--it's probably not a movie that guys would enjoy, so save it for a girls night!
