A kind of African Queen gone berserk, "Overboard" chronicles the misadventures of a bitchy society queen (Goldie Hawn) who lives on a luxury yacht with her class-conscious husband (Edward Herrmann) and put-upon butler (Roddy McDowall). When the yacht docks for "repairs" (that is, for more closet space), Hawn refuses to pay the local carpenter (Kurt Russell) because he used oak instead of cedar for the closets. The post-refusal argument results in Hawn pushing Russel overboard. Hawn falls overboard herself and is rescued by a garbage scow. However, she remembers nothing of her pampered past. Through a series of high-energy, high-wit escapades the two protagonists find each other, the kids turn into lollipops and all is well that ends well. Garry Marshall directed with aplomb.

Heiress Joanna Stayton hires carpenter Dean Proffitt to build a closet on her yacht—and refuses to pay him for the project when it's done. But after Joanna accidentally falls overboard and loses her memory, Dean sees an opportunity to get even.

Not as family friendly as you might rememberI rented this to watch at home with the family and was quite embarrassed by many scenes. I guess I had only seen edited-for-TV versions before. I love the movie and I love Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn in it. Just was a little shocked at the number of scenes that made me cringe while watching with my family..Jennifer WarburtonScore: 4/5

Nvr been beatI have seen so many movies, and this is and always will be my favorite one. The idea that you could fall in love with a complete stranger is a very interesting one. Like most I believe that you are not destined to be with a specific person, however this movie is the only one to persuade otherwise. Overall amazing movie!!!.Wyatt gosneyScore: 5/5

Better than you'd thinkAlthough this is an older movie perhaps better suited to the smaller screen than the theatre, it is charming through and through. Love conquers all..KanadocScore: 4/5
