Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Great Companion piece to Girl Can't Help it!
This movie and Girl Can't Help it are the best cult films ever. Just plain fun!
Rating:  - Just a tad over campy
Frank Tashlin's screenplay adapted from the play by George Axelrod (of "Lord Love a Duck" 1966 fame) that was adapted from Frank Tashlin's story, answers the question that has been on our mind "Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?"
Rockwell P. Hunter (Tony Randall) comes up with a plan to save the company he works for (Stayput Lipstick) from going down the tubes, by using a well known movie star that is noted for her kiss, to indorse the product.

Notice how cleverly sight gags are inserted to stress a point-- an overheated kiss that pops popcorn, a computer read-out that mimics the dialogue, ... Read More
Rating: - The BEST Jayne Mansfield movie
Why do I call this film the best Jayne Mansfield movie?.Well,it is the largest-budget film she ever appeared in + The Film was HERS.The Studio had paid quite a bundle for that play,that basically put Ms. Mansfield on the map.Even 'The Girl Can't help it'(also a great movie),was padded (no pun intended Jaynie!) with rock'n roll numbers,because the Studio was scared that Jayne could not carry the film alone(Were they ever wrong !).
To get back to Rock Hunter,the person that did the switch from the movie-satire ... Read More
