It's the craziest mix-up ever! Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell dazzle the screen in this buoyant and screwball comedy of memory-making and memory-faking. One of Hollywood's most dynamic screen pairs, Hawn and Russell make the most of every hilarious situation in this delightful riches-to-rags romance that's perfect entertainment for anyone who appreciates a great practical joke. Hawn is Joanna Stayton, the pampered wife of a pretentious, yacht-owning socialite. When their boat gets stuck for repairs, Joanna employs carpenter Dean Proffitt (Russell) to improve her closet space. But when Dean asks to be paid, he's blatantly turned down by the "nothing is ever good enough for me" Joanna.So when Joanna falls overboard and gets a bad case of amnesia, Dean takes advantage of the situation and, in a stroke of retributive genius, tells her that she's his wife and the mother of hisfour unruly children!

Summary: Overboard DVD
Comment: This was a gift for my daughter for Christmas. Overboard with Goldie Hawn is one of her favorite movies. Ordering from Amazon was very easy and convenient. I received the DVD in a timely manner and the entire transaction went smoothly.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: ENJOYABLE FISH OUT OF WATER/ROMANTIC COMEDY!
Comment: Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn's chemistry keep this predictable, but likable comedy afloat. Hawn plays a rich selfish snob who's life needs purpose and Russell plays a blue collar guy who gives her life purpose. After a run in that leaves Russell stiffed for a job he does for Hawn, Russell finds a way to get paid and then some! The story is contrived to say the least, but the kids and the rest of the cast seem to be having fun in this slightly crude and cute comedy. The DVD is pretty basic with a trailer being it's only extra. The DVD transfer is good, nothing special, but the film is entertaining and fun.

Summary: opposites attract
Comment: 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.
Customer Rating:
Summary: gotta love Goldie Hawn
Comment: This movie is always funny. So much better feature length than cut for TV. Great chemistry between Goldie and Kurt. One of my favorites.
Customer Rating:
