Incredibly Believable
I usually find plots centering around amnesia hard to believe, but this movie pulls it off, regardless of the near impossibility.

I'm glad to see the release is anamorpic widescreen, however, I would recommend buying "Overboard - Ein Goldfisch fällt ins Wasser" from Amazon.de Check out the price (considering exchange rates) and how many audio tracks of different languages they have included on that version. This on amazon.com only has English. Not too savvy for those of us who like to brush up our foriegn languages.

That mountain man is in there sweating all over the place!
Classic, and one of the funniest 80's films ever, overboard will keep you laughing, but also it is thought provoking. The moral issue is really, money doesn't buy love, and does not buy happiness.
Some of my favorite lines are:
She has no t*ts but she has a nice a**!
What no boom boom??
I am a short, fat slut.
Eat your checkers!

Goldie Hawn is brilliant, one of a kind, and hilarious! She plays the perfect rich bitch, who turns into a housekeeper, mother, and wife. There is also some romance in the film. i.e. Catarina and Arturo. The end, and the golf course opening.

Overboard...Senior English Review Paper
A male chuvinistic pig collides into a rich snobby woman, where the waters of true love will be tested. Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn play in a romatic comedy called Overboard.

A spoiled and bored woman calls for a carpenter to rearrange her closet while her yacht is docked in the Port at Elk Cove. Joanna, who is proper and well mannered, is absolutely disgusted by the caroenter she has hired, a poor single working father. While leaving Port the next morning, she accidently falls overboard into the cold waters of the Pacific where a fishing boat pulls her out. Joanna is diagnosed with amnesia in the local hospital of Elk Cove, where her husband who is greedy leaves her in the hospital to take her money. Out for revenge, Dean the carpenter acts as if he is Joanna's real husband and declares her as his real wife, and takes her home to do his dirty work. He gets his kids in on the act and for payback she does all the housework, cooking, cleaning etc. Over many months Joanna's memory doesn't return and she falls in love with Dean as if she truly was his real wife. Only then do things start to change. Joanna begins to regain her memory and realizes that this life she had been living for the past several months had been completely fabricated. She returns to her normal life, but feels the emptiness inside from the family she grew to love. Later Joanna realizes what she really wants and the chase of true love begins from there.

Overboard is a witty true-life comedy that relates to parents and families. This story is romantic and captures the essence of true love and how you can find it in the strangest of places. Overboard is wonderful for all ages, a story that will catch your imagination and test your emotions. It will leave you laughing and touched what love can really do.
