Rating: - Much More Relevant that the Television Series
The reputation of the original "Gidget" (1959) has eroded over the years thanks to two weak sequels and a truly dreadful television series. So if you have never seen the original don't dismiss it based on the extremely shallow content of the Gidget stuff that came later. While not a good double-feature match for "Rebel Without a Cause", it is dark and serious enough to still have some relevance
While presenting a rather tame portrait of California's surf and beatnik counterculture, it fits solidly with the better coming-of-age/generational revolution stuff of the 1950's and ... Read More

It seems that while I was growing up, my best friend and I could not have a sleepover or a slumber party without watching "Gidget" and "Grease". We rented the former one day and we loved it instantly, slightly dated as it is.

Rating: - Gidget
Delivery as expected and really like the movie... The VHS I ordered was great until the very end and it had some glitches for about the last 3 minutes... Don't know what caused this?
Now I have ordered the DVD version and expect that will be flawless?~! If you lived in that era this is a great movie. However,our most recent generation view this innocence of the 50s as ancient~~~! Buzz...
Rating: - Its on DVD!
I have found this movie on DVD. Its on Ebay. I love this movie. I am only 19 but I would watch it all the time at my grandmothers house, and its my favorite movie.
Rating: - Young again...
I highly recommend this movie for everyone. A clean cut, fun movie that you don't have to worry about due to bad language. I loved this movie when I was growing up so I bought Gidget for my daughter. She had her friends over, teenage boys and girls, and all loved it. In fact the boys kept asking when we were going to watch it again.. Too bad it isn't available on DVD.
