Carlos N @Can545 Apr 30 For those that think this should be classic cinema, get over your high brow selves. This is a classic. It is a fun, goofy, sappy film and deserves every accolade for being a time tested comedy that never seems to get old. It was SO good it spanned a redo, which was awful. Goldie and Kurt’s chemistry was real and electric and those kids were awesome. I still laugh at many of the jokes and will again and again. Perhaps the reason some people don’t like it is because they have never found true love in their lives that involves a real person? Sad. See more Blake- N @PBSAniDom Apr 19 Overboard (1980s) is a fairly average romantic comedy that has a few amusing ideas but doesn’t fully land as strongly as it could. The core premise is interesting, with its "rich vs. working class" role reversal and mistaken identity setup, and Goldie Hawn brings energy to her performance. However, the story often leans into predictable jokes and stretches its premise a bit too far without much real depth. Kurt Russell does his part well, but the romance feels uneven given the circumstances of the plot. While there are some lighthearted and entertaining moments, the film doesn’t offer much beyond its basic concept. Overall, it’s watchable and mildly entertaining, but nothing especially memorable. A solidly average 5/10 comedy. See more Chris L @Christoph2000 Mar 19 I'm not sure if zero star reviews are a possibility here. Anyhow, Overboard gets one for Goldie Hawn, Kurt Russell and a realiably wonderful tune from Randy Newman over the end credits. DEAR JESUS! What bloody cretin would greenlight such a hunk of junk? Ladies and gents, may I introduce a romcom in name only that manages to exceed My Best Friend's Wedding in terms of mean-spiritedness! The man responsible for bringing this into existence must donate his brain to science to ensure his worst impulses are singled out and never repeated. That is one icky, reprehensible premise right there. We're meant to believe that Joanna's redemption is a result of discovering her first ever authentic relationship - autentic insofar as being embedded in humiliation, manipulation and lies about the foundations of her very existence. At this stage I'm seriously doubting that Garry Marshall even made a decent movie besides Pretty Woman. It's also largely as unfunny as it is ill-conceived. See more Carlos T @RT67858720 Feb 8 *Um Salto para a Felicidade* é o retrato perfeito da **comédia romântica dos anos 80**, leve, charmosa e com alma. A trama parte de um ponto quase absurdo — uma milionária mimada que perde a memória e passa a viver como dona de casa de uma família caótica —, mas a forma como o filme desenvolve essa premissa faz tudo soar surpreendentemente humano. Joanna Stayton é rica, arrogante e cruel com quem está abaixo dela. Ao contratar o marceneiro **Dean Proffitt** e humilhá-lo publicamente, sela o próprio destino. Após cair do iate e sofrer amnésia, ela é "resgatada" por Dean, que decide se vingar ao fazê-la acreditar que é sua esposa, agora chamada **Annie**, mãe de quatro filhos e dona de uma casa completamente fora de ordem. O que começa como vingança se transforma em **reaprendizado de valores**, tanto para ela quanto para ele. O filme não tenta ser moralista, mas mostra, com humor e sensibilidade, que caráter e afeto não nascem do luxo, e sim da convivência. Nota final:** **8,75 See more Dana M. @RT34318367 Dec 31 I’ve watched this movie hundreds of times over the years it’s incredible!! Love their chemistry and the movie is just a classic See more Melissa H. @Melissa82 Dec 16 This is my all time favorite Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell movie. Its such a good movie and so funny. My favorite part is where after the kids glued Annie's hands to the plates and she serves Dean the pie, the look on his face was so funny like he was so unsure about reaching for it 🤣 like he was expecting to end up wearing it. I wished I had a dollar for every time ive watched this movie, and each time is just as fun See more Read all reviews
