This movie invented the ultra-B beach/music movie formula (Where the Boys Are is different and better). Avalon figures out that he must totally ham it up, but Funicello was apparently held back by Disney, being barely past her Mouseketeer days (these movies immortalized her for a mediocre job). FA & AF's songs are forgettable, but the awsome Dick Dale plays a significant musical role. The comedy is hit or miss, although the characters don't give Deadhead credit for his great cough drop joke. Forgive me, but I love Lembeck's gang leader role. The wait for Big Daddy's "word" was a nice touch in a lackluster script.
