Plot

Now in their late twenties and married, Gidget and Jeff live in Santa Monica. Jeff is an architect and Gidget is a travel agent. They have no children of their own but are minding Gidget's 15-year-old niece Kim while Kim's parents are in Europe.

Their marriage is troubled, in part because they are becoming workaholics and leaving themselves too little quality time.

Gidget plans a surprise 30th birthday party for Jeff that will reunite their old surfing friends, but she must take the place of a coworker and coordinate a trip in Hawaii. Jeff resists romantic advances from Anne Bedford, his beautiful and libidinous boss.

Kim acts much as did Gidget at the same age. She wants to learn how to surf but sneaks out of the house to see Mickey, a suave, self-serving beach bum, behind the back of Albert, her nerdy boyfriend.

Gidget returns from Hawaii just in time to save her marriage and rescue Kim from her troubles.[3]
