Watch Girls! Girls! Girls! For Free

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Blistering performances.

while sailor Elvis works for a jerk to save up for his own boat he must dodge three beautiful GIRLS! editing out about 5 songs would have really helped > though in early 1962 Elvis was still engaged in his art and his voice on the soundtrack is rather astonishing > he can elevate weak plot tunes and when he gets his chops around something nice...yer lookin' fer trouble, baby! the title song (a borderline flop for the great Coasters), plus the rockin' RETURN TO SENDER, I DON'T WANT TO BE TIED and the unusual seafarin' uptempo THANKS TO THE ROLLING SEA; and more than a few soulful ballads, he makes us forget some forgettable draggy parts on screen and the flat mix on record.I think he does some of best dramatic acting in scenes with the girls, Stella Stevens (she sings too many songs, too!) and a very under-appreciated actress, Laurel Goodwin. Elvis and Laurel spend the night with friends near the beach and a storm brews. She finally demands to know where she stands. "I don't want to be kept" is the response, deeply nuanced, a young man whose main goal is professional but knows his passion, too. I cannot think of any actor who could pull that off better.rather lame plot resolution, but what else is/was new in Elvis movie making land? INTERESTING NOTE: many excellent tracks were not used or deleted. now "out there" on CD!

I am a big fan of this film for a myriad of reasons : -It is vintage El and he is in his prime; -Stella Stevens & Laurel Goodwin; -The locale(the Tropics) -The Colour -Robt.Strauss & Jeremy Slate -The Year 1962(i was 15 & Impressionable !) -The fishing scenes -the Stavroses -what a Soundtrack !(Return to Sender coulda been enough!) -El's Wardrobe(sometimes he looks like a Hood !) -the opening scene(w\a great lieber\stoller opener of a spirited song) -great pacing-never flags in movement of story -amazing body moves while swinging & warbling -perceptible good budget production -fun story line -LOTS of Energy ! etc.etc.etc

Elvis plays a poor seaman who has his heart set on buying the boat that he and his late father built together. The cast was good and Elvis really put some heart into the acting. The music was average though with silly songs like "Walls Have Ears" and "Three Little Crawfish"; however the songs "Return to Sender" and "A Boy Like Me And a Girl Like You" make up for the sillier songs. I really think the story is touching in view of the fact that Elvis' character cared so much about his father that he was willing to do anything to but the boat to remember him by. Young people don't have much respect for their parents in modern society, and they sometimes scoff at their parents' achievements. I like this movie because it is a picture of a devoted son who really honored his father. There was some mildly suggestive dialog throughout the movie, but it was just suggestive and not too obvious. A good movie for teens!

"Boats! Boats! Boats!" might have been a more appropriate title for this rather lackluster Elvis feature, one of those formula films that were a dime a dozen. He plays a fisherman who loves being out on the ocean and begins to despair when he learns that his adoptive parents are selling their boats because they must move to a dry climate for health reasons. Nothing very interesting occurs throughout, and Presley is involved in at least three rather embarrassing songs: most notorious is perhaps the silly "Song of the Shrimp", along with a cringe-worthy tango in an apartment called "The Walls Have Ears", and a ridiculous singalong called "Earth Boy" which Elvis sings along with with two little Asian girls (their sister would later star with Elvis in the much better "IT Happened AT THE WORLD'S FAIR"). But at least there is also the decent rocker "I Don't Wanna Be Tied" and especially Elvis' big hit "Return to Sender" to enjoy. It's s a rare opportunity to see him perform the latter classic in a movie, and I'd say it's the best two minutes of the entire film. ** out of ****
