Editorial Review:
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
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!

I always love watching this movie. I believe this is the only movie Kurt Russell & Goldie Hawn have made together. They're great together.
Rating:  - It's a Garry Marshall movie, it has to be good!
I love Garry Marshall movies but didn't realise this was a Garry Marshall movie upon buying it. (I don't tend to notice these things.) I've had a bit of a thing for Kurt Russell recently, since watching both Escape From LA/New York, and hey, Goldie Hawn plays the ultimate ditzy blonde a lot of the time. My favourite kind of character quite frankly.
Overboard is a pretty simplistic storyline, but it definitely has that Garry Marshall magic (including Hector Elizondo appearing albeit ... Read More
