Why [Kurt Russell] wouldn`t simply leave [Goldie Hawn] alone is just one of the film`s flaws. Aug 23, 2017 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

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. May 20, 2003 | Rating: 2/5

Despite the ickiness of the conceit, it manages to be a fairly innocent good time, weird as it sounds. It's a movie likely destined for a fate not unlike its predecessor, a lengthy turn as a "nothing else is on" go-to. Feb 7, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Solid, fun entertainment that continued to show an appreciative public that Hawn was more than a ditzy blonde. Feb 11, 2012 | Rating: 7/10 | Full Review…

Marshall's sunny, sitcomedic comedies tend to be kinda bad but also compulsively watchable, and this one's no exception... [Blu-ray] Aug 4, 2011 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn are truly the only reasons to keep watching this otherwise flaccid comedy, which feels static when it should zing and oppressive when it should soar. Aug 1, 2011 | Rating: C | Full Review…

Amazing, an 80's movie I haven't seen. Hmmm... it was okay. I'm not sure what message it was trying to get across. It is too extreme both ways - being rich doesn't have to mean that stuck up and awful, and being poor doesn't necessarily equate to living like an animal. Honestly I couldn't see why either of those lives would appeal and I don't buy the ending for a second. Living with a pig who lied his way into her life and got her to sleep with him on false pretenses and don't even get me started on those horrible four little boys. The end line made me vomit a bit too. Whatever. It's a dumb comedy. Okay to watch once.
Super Reviewer
One of the most tried and true of the screwball comedy formulas: uptown girl, downtown guy, together temporarily and hating it. 90 minutes later its wedding bells. Roll credits. Entirely dependent on the charisma of the leads. Russell and Hawn supply the goods in what only can be described as a guilty pleasure. Garry Marshall directs the predictable proceedings.
I did not buy the romance, and the plot points were so farcical this film was almost unwatchable. Is this seriously your favorite film,. Reese Witherspoon?
Goldie Hawn is hilarious! A classic!
