Like most Elvis films, this one includes cornball comedy, bad dialogue, and some fighting. But Girls! Girls! Girls! is better than most of the them. I think this is primarily because Elvis' performance has more energy. This is true of his acting, singing, and dancing. The songs themselves are a cut above, also.
Stella Stevens and Laurel Goodwin both add to the film, despite Ms. Stevens' disappointment in having to appear in the film. Ms. Goodwin must have had some training as a dancer. It's too bad she doesn't dance in the final scene.
Even though this might be one of Elvis' better vehicles, it is still sad to consider what might have been--if a studio had given him a superior script, something that would have challenged him. Did he ever take acting lessons? This story about a boy who wants a boat is of little consequence.
