Movie Reviews of Girl Happy
Movie Review: Elvis, Shelley And Florida...
Summary: 5 Stars
For Elvis Presley's serious side in movies accompanied by music, it's "Jailhouse Rock", "King Creole" and "Roustabout". In the lighthearted catagory it's "Viva Las Vegas" and "Girl Happy". Shelley Fabares was Elvis finest leading lady this side of Ann-Margret. They had uncanny on screen chemistry. Elvis and Shelley also looked like a couple. "Girl Happy" is a product of Spring Break in Florida during the 1960's. Elvis and his buddies are hired to secretly watch over Shelley Fabares during her vacation. It's sounds easy, but it's not that simple. His band has to perform in a club on a nightly basis. Shelley dates another guy constantly leaving the motel. Fabares father phones in from Chicago checking up on her at different times during the day and night. In between all of this frenzy, the guys and the girls try to have fun on the Florida Coast. This movie is top five Elvis because of the great scenery, comedy and the music promos. The fun parts are: Watching Elvis pull a boat with an automobile from a marina into a motel swimming pool. Presley trying to date two ladies simultaneously in his room without them knowing each other is present. Then near the movie ending, a large group of pretty girls get thrown in one jail cell and Elvis breaks in digging an underground tunnel trying to free up Shelley Fabares. The songs, which are nothing special on the CD soundtrack, "Girl Happy" and "Do The Clam" go over well with the film. Widescreen captures this movie the way it was meant to be watched. Excellent transfer. "Girl Happy" is an essential Elvis flick. The reason is classy, attractive Shelley Fabares and a better than average Elvis movie script. If you're looking for a nice escape to Florida without going there try this film and "Flipper" - the TV series on DVD.Movie Review: Don't like Elvis, but this movie is AWESOME!
Summary: 5 Stars
I admit I am not an Elvis fan at all. As matter of fact, this is the only Elvis movie I have ever seen. BUT this movie is great! Every song is upbeat and fun. You get the first song stuck in your head, then you hear the next song then IT gets stuck in your head, until the end of the movie when you have every song stuck in your head. The storyline is wonderful too. I can relate to every character, even Elvis. I am only 24, but first saw this movie in my teens and it was load of fun then too. A must have for anybody who likes fun tunes, witty humor, and a movie to talk about that many people don't know about (unfortunately). FINALLY on DVD, too. My VHS player was having a breakdown and the tape has just about had it!Movie Review: Girl Happy with Chris Noel
Summary: 5 Stars
You know what makes this movie so good ?? It's Chris Noel who did so much for our troops in Vietnam and continues to support the VETERANS today !! She's been an outstanding advocate of the AMERICAN VETERAN for many years and we're so thankful for all she has done. She realized a long time ago what's important to OUR nation and that's the AMERICAN VETERAN. God bless her and help her to continue her very important work.

Movie Review: Girl Happy - Elvis Happy - Viewer Happy
Summary: 5 Stars
Yes this is a really great fun type of movie from the mid Sixties (when the world was more innocent and safer place) Not sure I would want to hang around on the beach in Fort Lauderdale now. Anyway I digress - it's great to have this available on DVD along with the cut song "Startin Tonight" that was noticeably absent from recent VHS releases. In fact Warner's have come up trumps with all these new DVD releases, as the majority of them are really good happy go lucky fims.Movie Review: Can't go wrong with the King
Summary: 5 Stars
Have you ever seen a bad Elvis movie? This is one of our favorite Elvis movies of all time. We love watching this movie and wanted a copy of our own. The DVD came with some postcard pictures inside with Elvis and the cast/crew. They are a great keepsake to have. I would definitely tell anyone to purchase this movie for their collection.Girl Happy
