Overboard

The word classic is used way too often, especially when it comes to films and books. However "Overboard" is as close to a modern-day classic as any movie has ever gotten. It's like all the suns were aligned to make the perfect movie. It has a great script, an excellent director (Garry Marshall) and some of the best performers in the business. That's why it's almost impossible to believe that "Overboard" was a huge bomb, both commercially and critically when it came out in early 1988.

This is the main cast:
Goldi / Annie (Joanna Stayton)
Kurt Russell / Dean Proffitt
Michael G. Hagerty / Billy
Roddy McDowell / Andrew
Katherine Helmond / Mother Edith Mintz
Edward Hermann / Grant Stayton

The public has never forgotten about this film though and because of that it's found life-after-death on broadcast TV over the last 2 decades. I can't think of a more family-friendly, feel-good movie that everyone will laugh at. It is the perfect story for anyone who likes man's movies with a little lovey-dovey stuff mixed in.

This movie is always funny. So much better feature length than cut for TV. Great chemistry between Goldie and Kurt. One of my favorites.

Totally entertaining. Heartwarming and funny, and Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell are simply magical together. I enjoyed every minute and even applauded at the end.

Funny, clever and heartwarming. What a great movie. I have watched it many times and never get tired of it. I would recommend it to anyone!

I always love watching this movie. I believe this is the only movie Kurt Russell & Goldie Hawn have made together. They're great together.
