Reviews
Kurt Russell abuses Goldie Hawn into becoming a better, more caring woman? Who thinks this stuff is funny? Lots of people, unfortunately.
Overboard is a dizzy comedy about the ways in which wealth insulates the rich from the simple pleasures of life.
Cute and inoffensive. Sweet but not so much that you hate yourself for liking it. This is a good thing.
While the prospect of watching Miss Hawn play a rude, nasty socialite is appealing, and even the transformation to homebody is a funny idea, Overboard winds up taking things too far.
