What is the quintessential tiki movie? - General Tiki

"Kitsch" is a subjective evaluation. (And not a very flattering one.) Even this article in Honolulu Magazine has "kitsch" and "tacky" in the title. Says who? http://www.honolulumagazine.com/Honolulu-Magazine/January-2012/The-Tiki-Tribe/ It depends on how good a job you do, doesn't it? To the credit of the commenters (and tiki culture in general), no one calls out or "flames" the writer. Which is sort of nice and touching.
