Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

qormi Gidget was a very funny show with a very talented cast. Sally Field revealed herself to be a very talented actress at such a young age. Peter Duel was hilarious with his mugging and reactions. Betty Conner as Gidget's sister was very funny as well. Don Porter, who played her dad, was like a country club cardigan-wearing Ward Cleaver. This show was great and it's too bad it lasted only one season. Can you imagine Gidget 2013? Episode 1: Gidget supports gay and lesbian prom partners. Episode 2: Gidget's friend Larue confides that her uncle molested her. Episode 3: Gidget smokes weed and Larue drops acid. Episode 4: Gidget gets a tongue piercing and a tramp stamp. Episode 5: Gidget receives a sext message on her I-phone. Episode 6: Larue gets an abortion. ...and so on.

joemoe116 I am a fan of all the Gidget movies and TV shows. I have seen them all from the 1959 Gidget to the 1972 Gidget gets married, and the 1985 the new Gidget TV series. My favorite was the 1965 Gidget TV series starring Sally Field and Don Porter. The show was funny innocent, and heart warming. Sally Field was cute, perky, and adorable as the surfer girl midget. She was the best actress who play Gidget in my opinion. She is also the only actress who played Gidget to win three Emmys and 2 Academy Awards. It is hard to believe watching the show that it only ran for one season. I could not wait to get home from school to watch Gidget.

moonspinner55 Sally Field as a TV-version of Frances Lawrence, aka 'Gidget', that feisty teenager from a Los Angeles suburb in the 1960s, protesting injustices, standing up for the underdog, surfing on the weekends, and meddling in everyone's lives. This half-hour filmed sitcom with laugh-track only lasted one season before ABC unwisely gave it the heave-ho (due to low ratings, though they suddenly picked up during the '66 rerun season). Still, "Gidget" lives on due to canny, clever writing, rich photo stock (with colors that just POP!), a fun supporting cast, a hummable theme song (warbled by Johnny Tillotson), and of course Field, the quintessential little sister/best friend/project manager. Field was an inexperienced young actress who somehow knew the magical trick of connecting honestly with the TV viewing audience (whether addressing the camera directly or not). Her abilities were part instinct and part God's gift. She's indefatigable but never exhausting, and she makes everyone on-screen her pal as well. As widower father Professor Russell Lawrence, Don Porter (carried over from 1963's theatrical "Gidget Goes to Rome") is attractively bemused and never embarrassed, while Lynette Winter is the perfect embodiment of the misfit best friend (doggedly devoted, sometimes against her will). As Gidget's married sister and brother-in-law, Betty Conner and Peter Deuel seldom get their share of bright lines or stories, though Deuel's starchy skepticism is nearly funny on its own. Despite the product plugs, Gidget's rather under-populated high school, and a few slapstick detours, not a bad way to spend an afternoon. It's nostalgic and upbeat, and Field looks great on a surfboard.

modhatter Checking out the credits on IMDb, I think I must be right, but recently, I was watching Gidget, and I saw some red thing on Gidget's dresser. It looked like maybe one of the old Bradley dresser dolls, and being a collector, I wondered if maybe it was one I had. Instead, the more I watched, the more convinced I became that the doll was in fact a little tribute to another member of the Screen Gems family -- a "Bewitched" Samantha doll. If it is... how's that for product placement! Please let me know if you can confirm my suspicions.
