Homem ao Mar

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.

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.

'OVERBOARD': Three and a Half Stars (Out of Five)

A remake of the 1987 hit, of the same name, with a gender reversal in the lead two roles. In this version, a spoiled playboy falls off a yacht and gets amnesia, and a single working mom, that he abused, convinces him that they're married and then makes him be her slave. The film stars Eugenio Derbez, Anna Faris, Eva Longoria, John Hannah and Swoosie Kurtz. It was directed by Rob Greenberg and Bob Fisher (two veteran screenwriters in their directorial debuts), and it was written by Greenberg, Fisher and Leslie Dixon. The film has received mostly negative reviews from critics but I enjoyed it mostly.

Kate (Faris) is a single working mother of three, that's desperately trying to become a nurse (while working multiple jobs). She takes a job cleaning for a spoiled rich manchild, named Leonardo (Derbez), who abuses and fires her. Then Leonardo has an accident and gets amnesia, and Kate tricks him into thinking he's her husband. She then gets revenge (for his past abuse) by making him work a really hard construction job, and do all of the cooking and cleaning for her and her daughters.

I was a big fan of the original movie when I was a kid, it was a favorite of my family (that we watched repeatedly), so I was definitely interested in seeing this film. It didn't disappoint me; I like the gender role reversal and I like the casting (both of the leads are really good in it). The premise and humor of the movie is definitely a little silly (but so was the original). The film also has some genuine emotional moments in it too. I recommend it, especially if you're a fan of the original; and I love that they kept it set in Oregon (like the 1987 film)!

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.

Leonard is a spoiled playboy who everything, money, a lot of women and no respect for anyone. Kate has a hard life , works delivering pizzas, in a cleaning company and studies to be a nurse, if that is not enough she has 3 daughters to take care. After they first meat he treats her really bad , so when he goes overboard and finds himself with amnesia she and her boss friend make a plan to payback. Typical romance/comedy story , nothing new there , but the acting is good and even if it´s not my favorite type of movies I found myself having a nice time watching this movie, Faris and Longoria are very good here but Eugenio Derbez is the best, funny enough and makes the movie nice to watch. So yes, typical movie of romance, but good to watch and spend a nice 100 minutes.
