Blue Hawaii promotes Elvis Presley’s music more than genuinely endeavoring to produce a good C-grade film. Angela Lansbury seems miscast for her character. This movie is the definition of a beach movie that gives ample views of Elvis and several girls in bathing suits and little else. The film is the definition of superficiality.

Maybe.
The movie cannot be classified as horrible, but it is not worth time or money investment.
