Storyline

Francis is desperate: her parents want to force her to come with them on vacation to Hawaii - just during the two weeks when her beloved "Moondoggy" is home from College. When he suggests her to go for it, she's even more in panic - doesn't he care to be with her? So she sets out for Hawaii in the worst mood. On the plane she meets the sociable Abby, who gives her the advice to forget about Jeff - and regrets it shortly after, when Francis follows the advice and steals her boyfriend Eddie, a famous dancer. But then Jeff discovers he's missing Francis... Written by Tom Zoerner <Tom.Zoerner@informatik.uni-erlangen.de>

" I don't Care what anyone says I like Hawaii"
6 August 1999 | by (Minnesota) – See all my reviews

Gidget Goes Hawaiian is a good movie despite what other people say. O.k., so its another of "beach" movie made in the '60's But this one, to me, stands out. It doesn't focus all on the beach, but partly on the "games" people play. This is, in my opinion, the best of the Gidget movies, TV movies, and TV shows.
