Movie Pick: Gidget

As the end of summer is swiftly approaching, I find it's best to say goodbye with a tribute to one of my favorite movies, Gidget. Its about a scrawny teenage girl who doesn't have any luck on a manhunt with her girlfriends at the beach, so she does the next best thing: surfing. Terrible at first, the persistent Francie Lawrence quickly becomes a great surfer and the mascot of the local beach bums, who give her the nickname of Gidget (a girl and a midget). What seems to be a dreary summer with nothing to show for can quite easily turn out to be the best summer of her life!

"Oh, Moondoggie..."

A circus on the water.

Little Gidget is along for the 'Manhunt' with her friends.

"Hey, guys, I just want to swim... you can have the boys."

A newfound hobby.

What do you do when you can't get to the waves...?
