Overboard

The movie is an amazing and highly entertaining affair. Kurt Russel shines in this movie, as he always does, as a single father of a household of young boys who run rampant with little to no supervision. Russel’s character works as a handyman in the small town of elk cove in Oregon. He is hired by a rich, particularly rude client to build a dresser on a boat, and she refuses to pay him when the job is done. The next night, she falls off the yacht, hits her head, and loses her memory. Kurt Russel finds her in the hospital and makes her and the doctors believe she is his wife and the mother of his children. Hilarity ensues. This movie is genuinely hilarious and filled with memorable characters and great performances, as well as good cinematography and directorial choices. Some standout performances are Roddy McDowell as the incredulously based butler Andrew, Goldie hawn as Joanna, and the ever-amazing Kurt Russel as Dean Proffit. In conclusion, this film is incredibly funny with an intriguing premise and amazing performances all around. 'If any of you know the identity of this woman, please contact the hospital. I'll put up the reward myself... She's drivin' us crazy.'
