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:  - Mansfield was the Monroe phenomenon which changed her from brunette to blonde...
In the wake of Monroe's success, Hollywood teemed with imitations... This, in itself, was not an unusual phenomenon; what was extraordinary was the number of imitations...
Not only every studio but also every country came up with one... England had Sabrina and Diana Dors; France sold Mylene Demongeot in that image and, of course, Bardot... Germany came out with a series of teutonic, pneumatic blondes like Barbara Valentine... Back in Hollywood, Universal came up with the clone-like ... Read More
Rating: - Monroe on Steroids
Frank Tashlin and Jayne Mansfield-- a marriage made in cartoon heaven.

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 !).

Rating: - A great comedy from beginning to end!
Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter is one great laugh after another, satarizing everything about American popular culture. Even the opening credits are hilarious. Every bit of it still rings true today. Great script, performances... it's one of the best comedies of its day. If you haven't seen it yet, I guarantee that it's worth buying sight unseen. (But, you just might want to wait for the DVD.)
