The funniest Goldie Hawn movie I have ever seen...
Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell bring their real-life chemistry to this movie. It should however be rated R for all the sparks flying all over the place!

While I enjoyed this movie, I do not recommend it for kids of any age! A few scenes are a bit much and they go a bit overboard on some issues. A la Goldie bending over in a very revealing bathing suit or the kids talking about issues far above their age level.

There are some hysterically funny scenes in which I almost cried from laughing so much.

To understand why it is SO funny, you just have to imagine how a rich woman would feel if she was dropped off in the worst hell she could imagine.

The basic story is that Joanna Stayton (Goldie Hawn) is a demanding and pampered wife who stops off in a tiny Oregon town. She employs carpenter Dean Proffitt (who doesn't make any profit...), to revamp her yacht closets. When he completes the job, Dean asks to be paid and is told the job is not good enough (she wants cedar and he made them in oak!) and therefore he must "eat" the costs.

At a convenient moment, Joanna tosses Dean (Kurt Russell) overboard along with his tools and work belt. Then, Joanna falls overboard later when looking for her wedding ring and gets amnesia.

Dean finds a way for her to "pay up" for his carpentry work and the result is a hillarious story even a feminist would have to laugh at! The reason we don't feel sorry for Joanna is because she was so mean to Dean and didn't pay him for his work when he needed the money for his family.

This movie has the best last scene of any movie I have ever seen! No lies. I adore the ending.

The reason I like some movies so much is that they take items from the start of the movie and weave then so nicely into other parts of the story line.

Similar to "Captain Ron" in humor, but this was way more funny! I guess I didn't appreciate the swearing and other items that they threw in here and there, but the overall story was a hoot! This movie could have been a family movie if they had taken out various aspects.

The kids in the movie are a wild bunch to start with and change throughout the movie. Parents will relate well to this movie. However, I didn't like how Joanna treated the teacher although we can just say she was true to her character in that part of the movie.

One of the funniest movies I have ever seen.

This was a job for Dr. Death
I don't know how many Kurt Russell fans are out there, but I am one of them. This is the first movie with Russell that I can remember seeing but none the less, I laugh harder and harder every time I watch it. Russell plays a hard working carpenter who goes by the name of Dean Proffit. Though he tries to raise a good family on his own, he can't help it, they are the white trash rednecks that no body wants to be. Then he sees in the news that a women had been found in the ocean who had harsh memory loss and did'nt know her name. Proffit recognized her as a former client. She was the very snobby, yet pretty hot Joanna Staton. So, in order to save his family, Proffit take Staton from the hospitol she was submitted to. He told her she was his wife and her name was Anne, maiden name Goolahee. In the end she regains her memory but yet can not fall out of love with Proffit. A good movie for anyone who wants to see a good movie.
