Overboard

I really like Anna Faris but this movie really just made me want to watch the original...I guess Im a fan of Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell..they made it a great movie! Unfortunately this one is just lacking...but in saying that if you haven't seen the original than this movie would probably be fun for you!!

A revival of the 1980s overboard, with a total cast gender swap, that does well to honor the old and bring in the new. The revival makes one glorious decision: pay homage to the original. If you pay attention you'll find Easter eggs referring back to the original, and if you're a big enough fan, you'll pick out when the dialogue mirrors it exactly. I found the revival to be worthy, the acting is pretty good, the plot sticks close to whats expected, and the characters well developed. I thoroughly enjoyed watching.

This movie is nothing complicated. It's simple, light comedy and easy to digest.

You'll never laugh out loud watching this but you will definitely smile without you knowing it.

I personally prefer seeing sci-fi flicks and superhero movies and I think I ended up enjoying watching this than I care to admit.

I never saw the original version, but this doesn't mean that i have to underestimate this movie.

I watched it with my daughter and we both laughed , liked it and enjoyed every moment.

The story is not a surprise but it offers what we call "a happy end".

If i compare this movie with the comedies that they released the last decade, i would give it a much higher ranking.

Yes I'm an 80s kid, so the original with Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell is hard to beat. While I love Anna Faris in Eugenio Berdez there was absolutely no chemistry between the two of them. The movie was still cute and heartfelt, and taught important lessons. As a sidenote, the nursing boards is not taken in a gymnasium it's more like going to the CIA headquarters in Langley.
