    Man this movie is funny, the acting was laughable. I enjoyed it for what it was worth. Watch it if you were bored.

    For your consideration,it's Elvis.Excellent rockabilly singer,what's with the acting you'll ask yourselves?Nothing really,it's for the sake of girlies.Tacky situations and camp classic for those who...dare to sit through (I did).It's a fun passing time if you can handle it and it...( read more)'s mainly interesting to watch Lansbury on a jumpy role.

    "Baby I was almost always true to you, I was almost true to you."
    elvis returns to star in blue hawaii .. which is one of the better elvis films and has one of the better soundtracks this one having " i cant help falling in love with you "and "Rock-a-Hula Baby" which was written...( read more) by ed woods first wife ..
    Angela Lansbury voice and acting can get on your nerves abit but that's the point of her character (overbearing mother)
    but overall a blast elvis fun in the sun :)

    Once you get over the shock of the fact that you are are watching an Elvis movie it actually turns out to be quite enjoyable. The king of rock's acting ability was actually better than most musicians who have taken a stab at the silver screen.
