Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

mathewsalisson Overboard is a nice movie starring real life couple Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn at the height of their fame and talent. Hawn plays a rich spoilt heiress who has an accident on her boat rendering her unconscious and at a loss of identity. Russell brings her home to mother his kids and take care of things. As expected hilarity and confusion ensues. This is a nice little movie- wholesome family entertainment and a reminder of fun innocent times. Go watch it if you need to see something funny yet heartwarming.

bkoganbing Kurt Russell plays the widowed father of four boys who are as far from the Brady Bunch as you can get. He's a bit of a big kid himself who thinks just paying the bills and providing food and a roof is all that matters. In fact rich Hollywood heiress Goldie Hawn hires him to redo her shoe closet on her yacht while they are vacationing in the Pacific Northwest in the Columbia River. When it doesn't meet her most exacting standard she stiffs Russell on the $600.00 she was going to pay him. But when Goldie falls overboard in the middle of the night and acquires a case of amnesia, Kurt claims her as his bride and she goes off to become his bond servant.Strange things do happen and eventually Goldie starts really thinking she belongs with him after some rough initiation. House work and she are strangers. It's helped however by the fact she has one drip of a husband in Edward Herrmann. And her work ethic was acquired from her mother Katherine Helmond who apparently understudied with the Helmsley family.Kurt and Goldie and the 4 kid actors who play Kurt's kids in Overboard provide the best scenes in the film. Sad to say it gets so raunchy a G rating is impossible. Still the PG is there even if close to the wire. Overboard is the perfect kind of vehicle for Kurt and Goldie and their fans will eat it up.So will the rest of the movie going public.

Ross622 Garry Marshall's "Overboard" is one of the funniest movies of the 1980's that I have seen since "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles" in the very same year. The movie stars Goldie Hawn as Joanna Proffitt a mother who becomes spoiled and loses her memory and has to deal with a lot of motherly problems with all of her sons and her husband Dean (Kurt Russell) who acts like a child and doesn't want to be too strict with his sons. Not only is it funny it is also a very effective love story with very good performances from both Hawn and Russell. another thing the movie does is not focus on Hawn as a spoiled woman but the movie focuses on two important things throughout the course of the movie, the fist thing being that a family may sometimes feel like they hate each-other when they don't on the inside, and the second thing being that a marriage only works when you choose the right person to marry. This movie is also ranked (to me personally) as one of the best comedies of all time along with "Some Like it Hot" (1959), "Ball of Fire" (1941), "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" (1986), "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles" (1987), and "Ed Wood" (1994). this is a movie that I happen to think that a lot of kids of all ages will happen to enjoy, and this was a fun movie to watch and is worth watching over and over again.

ROCKIN5464 I have to admit I have watched this movie many times and there are some funny things in it. Seeing Goldie Hawn is always a good thing. I do not think that I can support this movie anymore. A guy takes advantage of a woman that has lost her memory? Basically puts her through hell as a slave. Then falls for her and decides to have sex with her? Isn't that highly illegal? Shouldn't he be on a registry somewhere for this? Instead he gets the Coast Guard to help him and gets the girl. The girl is transformed through rape. I have to say I cannot watch this ever again. Still give it a 2 for the couple of funny things in it, but again this is a poorly thought out premise. Even though I understand that 1987 was a different time (that was the year of the release of the movie). I am sure people will read this and go, come on it is a movie. Think about it though.
