TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Harry Lags This certainly isn't one of Elvis'good movies -- but it holds a sentimental favorite place in my heart. It was one of the first Elvis movies I ever saw.Set amongst the islands of Hawaii, Presley plays tuna-fisherman/tour-guide Ross Carpenter, trying to make ends meet so he can buy his dream boat and go into business for himself. Adding complications is Carpenter's love triangle with two very different dames: jaded nightclub singer Robin (Stella Stevens), and young heiress Laurel (Laurel Goodwin), who's looking to experience life on the other side of the social divide.With it's exotic location filming and the charm of Presley, GIRLS! GIRLS! GIRLS! is a pleasant movie to watch. It is worth reminding ourselves that Elvis did not write the scripts for the films. Hollywood did. Anything you don't like about any of Elvis' legendary movies, blame Hollywood. But mostly blame his greedy over-bearing manager, 'col' Tom Parker. He put all the deals together!

Alex da Silva Ross (Elvis Presley) is a fisherman in this film. He wants to earn enough money so that he can buy the boat that he works on. Wesley (Jeremy Slate) buys the boat instead and hires Ross as the boat's captain with a percentage of the profits earned. Ross also lands a job as a singer in a club. There are, of course, a couple of women on the scene - Laurel (Laurel Goodwin) and Robin (Stella Stevens). Will Elvis get his boat.....? This is pure drivel. The songs are all terrible (some are embarrassing!) and the story is incredibly boring. And God knows why Elvis goes for Laurel over Robin. Stella Stevens is far more of an attractive, leading lady for Elvis than the rather bland-looking Laurel Goodwin. Throw in some sentimentality with a very annoying Chinese family - the sections with the children are very cringe-worthy - and you have a disaster of a movie. The only reason I have given this 2 stars is for Jeremy Slate's performance as Wesley, Stella Stevens and Elvis does a bit of gyrating! For Elvis fans only.....oh yeah....guess what the dance craze was at the time?.....it's very unimaginatively repeated throughout the film's dance numbers.

Aida Nejad "Elvis plays Ross Carpenter, a fishing guide/sailor who loves his life out on the sea. When he finds out his boss is retiring to Arizona, he has to find a way to buy the Westwind, a boat that he and his father built. He is also caught between two women: insensitive club singer Robin and sweet Laurel." You've seen it all before; the gorgeous women, Elvis singing ridiculous songs such as Girls! Girls! Girls!, Earth Boy and Song of the Shrimp (!). But some songs are really great; Return to Sender, Because of Love and Where Do You Come From. My favorite scene is him and Laurel Goodwin (who plays Laurel Dodge) dancing the tango to The Walls Have Ears. The leading lady was adorable, but Elvis' character was forgettable and dull. I don't see this as a film any movie collector should collect because of its acting or plot, but because it's a collector's item. Anyway, don't expect a great movie, but be prepared to sing a long with the songs.

tonygillan About the only positive recommendation I can make for this film is the unintentionally amusing opening scene.An oldish man is struggling from the back of a boat to land a fish. Hardly surprising, as it is a huge marlin, twelve feet in length and weighing about half a ton.Elvis steps in and lands the thing in about eight seconds flat, although he does have to turn the reel three times.What a man!
