Gidget: Complete Collection (2pc) (Full) Customer Reviews (4 - 6 of 20 Reviews)

where's the wide screen?!
my boys and i bought this set for my wife for her birthday,and while the movies are as goffy fun as she and i remembered them to be i was floored when i saw that they were in fullscreen format! i should have looked closer before we bought! like i said my wife ,myself and our boys like these films but really,can't the studios put out widescreen versions of these movies,it shouldn't make it cost anymore and it would make the films much more fun to watch.

Pretty lame
If you are like me and millions of other Gidget fans, you know that there was only one REAL Gidget movie and one REAL Gidget--Sandra Dee. Everything else was third rate. If you want a DVD of the original you will have to purchase this collection which contains two subsequent and dismissable spinoffs. Also disappointing is the lack of letterbox/widescreen format.

The studio bungled this badly, because it, like most film critics, dismiss Gidget as a cute trifle. What they have never realized is that it is a cinematic masterpiece that brilliantly rendered an infectious American zeitgeist in vivid tones and the warm hues of summer, adolescence, and our yearning for eternal youth and freedom.

vannevel - 5 Stars For James Darren
Nothing can beat the Gidget movies. After all, Gidget was the first Beach Movie. Sure they seem dated to today's youth, but aren't all movies in one way or another as they get older.

Not to date myself, but Moondoggie (a.e. James Darren) was my first 'boyfriend' at the age of eleven. Because of that, I've been a James Darren fan all of my life. He's still #1 for me.

I bought the fullscreen 3 pack of Gidget for that reason if for no other. I couldn't leave it sitting on the shelf! These movies are fun, innocent, and are terrific for a family movie night.

I'll also buy the widescreen pack when it comes out. (I did the same thing for 'Star Wars'!!)

AND A NOTE TO REVIEWER J LUTZ: I AGREE WITH YOUR SISTER. WHO CARES WHO PLAYS GIDGET AS LONG AS JAMES DARREN IS MOONDOGGIE.
