Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
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.
Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Juana 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.
Bjorn (ODDBear) Elvis as a fisherman whose biggest dream is to own the boat he helped build with his father - to aid him in his quest he works for a jerk and sings at a club. Also, he falls for a girl.Rumor is that studio execs in the 60's said that Elvis's films didn't need titles - just numbers. It's pretty funny, but I'm not in a position to judge just yet - I have a lot a Elvis flicks to go through. "Girls, Girls, Girls" is a pretty mediocre fare with sub par songs and a very thin story.First off; Elvis isn't believable for a second as a fisherman. His on screen image as a somewhat mischievous yet good natured and wholly independent working class Joe (who never accepts handouts) is already getting tiresome; with some 20 more movies to go where he's playing basically the same guy. As most reviewers have pointed out; Elvis was a solid enough actor when working with decent people and material but in this flick he's neither here nor there.The songs here aren't that good, sad to say. The classic "Return to Sender" is the real standout but others are fairly forgettable.But on the whole I always enjoy these Elvis movies up to a point. Despite some obvious laziness inherent with Presley's movies they're mostly fairly attractive looking, always displaying nice scenery, have a number of knockout beauties and solid songs (not all, but most).Elvis did some serious work before this film; most notably "Jailhouse Rock", "King Creole" and "Flaming Star". Those are excellent films, Elvis is excellent in them and they're a worthy addition in any film lover's collection. His later "fluff" films range from good to fairly lacklustre but fans of the King can easily sit through them and enjoy themselves.
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.
Darrin It's truly a shame that Elvis wasted his natural acting ability on schlocky musicals. While Elvis musicals are always enjoyable for the die-hard Elvis admirer, "Girls! Girls! Girls!" was absurdity at its finest. Other than the novelty of hearing Elvis sing in Chinese (I kid you not!eh), this was one of the lesser enjoyable Elvis musicals. Although, Stella Stevens did provide great eye-candy. One user claims that this film finally proved that Elvis can act? LOL! If you want to see Elvis act in a better quality film, rent "Jailhouse Rock" or "Love Me Tender." The latter being his only true dramatic role. See this film only as a novelty.
sonny starr Girls! Girls! Girls! is one of Elvis' best. From Storyline to soundtrack, you will be entertained.Elvis (Ross Carpenter), Plays a fishing guide. He works for a kind old couple,(Papa Stavros) played by Frank Puglia and (Mama Stavros) played by Lili Valenty. They own the (Westwind) a boat that was built by Ross Carpenter's father. When the old couple breaks the news that they are retiring and moving to Arizona, Ross must find a way to buy the boat. The lovely Stella Stevens (Robin Gantner) plays a singer in a night club that Ross frequents. He also sings at the club from time to time. The two become personally involved.At the same time Ross has feeling for (Laurel Dodge), played by Laurel Goodwin. Who will he choose? I'm not going to spill the beans. I'll let you find the answer on your own. I can tell you that this picture is well worth your time. Both Stella Stevens and Laurel Goodwin give strong performances. Presely was very strong throughout this picture as well. He looked like he enjoyed working with the cast.The two little girls in the movie, Ginny Tiu and Mai Ling were very charming. The inner play between Elvis and the children was remarkable. It gave this film a sweet touch.(Interesting Facts) Girls! Girls! Girls! was released on November 21st 1962. It was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for best picture. Elvis won the 2nd place trophy for best actor at the Laurel Awards. The sound track was one of Elvis' best. It included the #1 smash, "Return To Sender"
