Critic Reviews for Waikiki Wedding

Waikiki Wedding turns out to be a tuneful and amusing debunking of the Hawaiian legend, Bing supplying most of the tunes and Martha Raye, as the heroine's companion, most of the comedy.

A pleasant but routine star vehicle for Bing Crosby, with an Oscar winning song that created a scandal at the time.

Audience Reviews for Waikiki Wedding
Another average Crosby movie taking place in Hawaii this time around. Predictable ending, silly jokes, annoying songs, but sometimes funny.
