I got THAT FUNNY FEELING by accident and ended up LOVING it! Great, fun writing, entertaining, witty, just enjoyed it like I don't current movies in this genre. Is GIDGET along these lines? As a perspective, I pretty much hated SUMMER PLACE for being to much drama and reality - I like ESCAPISM in movies, not people suffering like in reality. So is GIDGET just fun like FUNNY FEELING? So far, I have not found another movie as good as Funny Feeling, although IF A MAN ANSWERS was pretty close.

GIDGET is definitely not the soap opera that A SUMMER PLACE is. I've seen THAT FUNNY FEELING but can't really remember it. I think GIDGET is certainly not a great movie, but it's fun, silly, and charming. Definitely escapist. I remember having such a crush on James Darren in the 60's. lol
