Um Salto para a Felicidade

I like this film, and it has many memorable moments. The hose scene, and Russel's antics. This is a great movie, Russel does comedy perfectly. He can play the all American, guy next store better than anyone else. This movie is a tribute to his acting ability. I can watch this one over and over. 8/10

This is a comedy that doesn't suffer from time or repeated viewings. It has all the trappings of a true classic. The cast, Goldie Hawn, Kurt Russell, Edward Hermann and Roddy McDowall all put in good performances. The 4 child actors all do very well, too. The story is a funny one and it keeps me laughing. All in all, a very funny movie. I own it and will throw it in the DVD player every once in a while.

I love this movie, it has a great cast (Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn), a great soundtrack, some light humour, and a really nice ending.

Definitely far better than the reboot that came out in 2018, and makes me feel happy every time I watch it.

Being a guy must make the fact that I like this film so much a guilty pleasure because it really is a chick-flick with capital C. I usually do not like to rate romantic comedies very high unless they have a different story and Overboard certainly has a different and (I think) original story. If you can get past the fact that the male lead is deceiving a woman with amnesia then you're going to love this movie. The acting is very, very good. I don't usually like Kurt Russel but I think he is near perfect in this role. Goldie Hawn is excellent and I must say that she was quite good looking in her younger days. I never really laughed out loud during the movie but I sat through the whole movie with and involuntary smile on my face because of the cute dialog and the slow change in the characters. The other cast members are also quite good. I found Edward Herrmannto be the most interesting character in the movie but he wasn't used enough. The emotions portrayed by the characters seem genuine which is a nice change from many other romantic comedies *cough* Pretty Woman *cough* and the on-screen chemistry between Russel and Hawn was undeniable.

All in all a very recommendable and highly enjoyable movie.

8/10

a nice comedy. an example of "80 not great but seductive cinema. or, only,Goldie Hawne and Kurt Russell. in fact, a seductive version of The Prince and the Pauper with right cast, right story, amusing moments and energetic development and with useful moral lesson. it is so easy to criticize it than must see only. as a simple story, about simple people and the clash between different worlds. and this is all. just fun. nothing complicated or profound. only a young woman and her universes. and the bitter lesson about life. after its end remains only a not bad reflection about destiny, rich people and happy people. and the sensation to be viewer of a fairy tale. but this is the basic purpose of each film. so, a film. nice, smart and seductive.
