Amazon.com: Real-life couple Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn star in this enjoyable 1987 comedy by Garry Marshall (Pretty Woman) about an imperious heiress (Hawn) who loses her memory after a boating accident and is identified as the wife of a handyman (Russell). Russell's character brings her "home" to his messy house and unruly kids, and the laughs follow as the aristocratic Hawn tries fitting in. Marshall delivers the comic goods, the leads are entertaining (Russell needs to do more comedy), and the supporting cast is made up of happily familiar faces, including Roddy McDowall, Edward Herrmann, and Marshall favorite Hector Elizondo in an unbilled bit. --Tom Keogh
I'm Overboard Too ^ This is a funny, heart warming tale well acted by one of Hollywood's few enduring couples... Good for them, and good for me too. I liked everything about this movie about Joe average that gets the girl...........
Overboard ^ Joanna Slayton is very rich and very spoiled. When she falls overboard from her yacht in the harbor of a small Oregon town she develops amnesia. She's taken in by Dean Profitt, a local carpenter she's previously maligned. Profitt, in revenge, persuades her that she is his wife and the mother of his four boys. Eventually, they "humanize" her and even when her memory returns she realizes she has fallen in love with Dean and his boys. This is a comedy that doesn't suffer from time. It has all the trappings of a true classic. The story is a funny one and it will keep you laughing everytime you see it.
Sugarlips! ^ I grew up watching this movie. My mom and i have been quoting lines from this movie since i was little. I just picked up another copy of this for myself(mom stole mine, ha). Had to watch this movie again when i bought it. Comedies are not made like this anymore. Everything "funny" nowadays is full of crude, dumb jokes. Dont get me wrong, cos i'm not old by any means, but i can only watch movies like wedding crashers or 40 year virgin so many times. Call me crazy if i can laugh at something other than sex jokes. Anyway, this movie is so charming and absolutely hilarious. I'm just wishing they'd clean up the grainy picture and put it on blu ray! I'd say this is easily one of my top 15 favorite movies of all time!(i like ALOT of movies)
I fell in love with Goldie Hawn! ^ She is awesome... Goldie was fabulous. Kurt was her straight man. Oh..Boy they had oodles of chemistry. Loved all the supporting cast.
This is one intelligent comedy. Its for the ages with repeatable factor. I can watch this movie again and again and like many I do.
If you have not seen it, don't rent. Buy it. You will want to watch it multiple times.
THIS IS A CLASSIC
Put it out on Blue Ray MGM! What are you waiting for?
Overboard ^ Good wholesome movie. Some cuss words not to my liking but overall a fun movie for the entire family. We have seen it many times and never get tired of it. And the final scence is always anticipated.
