I've rated this film 9/10 because I just love it, a brilliant classic that will be forever funny. One of those films that I can just watch again and again or whenever I'm bored. Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell are both hilarious and their chemistry is so real, it's no wonder they are together in real life. Not to forget the stellar cast including the brilliant late Edward Herrmann and Roddy McDowall, Katherine Helmond and Bad Billy Pratt Mike Hagerty. Watch this film and then watch it again and again

This movie doesn't take itself seriously, so how do you describe it in the usual terms of plot, acting, and direction. The plot is predictable and ridiculous but it's still great. The acting? Looks like they had a great time doing it and it was fun to watch so who cares. The movie turned out great so the directing was fine.It's a cute love story with the usual 1) they hate each other, 2) they fall in love, 3) something breaks them up, and 4) well you know how that goes.Goldie Hawn is adorable. I thought she overplayed the rich witch a little, but then that was how all the rich people were played. Kurt Russell is fine, but besides Hawn, the stars were the kids.I loved the last line of the movie.

The concept and the plot lines were funny and unique. The contrast between the working family and the ultra rich one, the ending where she chooses to have a life where she makes a difference instead of just wasting time, and he values her as she deserves to be valued in the end. There are parts of the movie that could have been better; some of the supporting roles were not done all that well. Although the story is kind of predictable it still is nice to watch. Not alone due the great chemistry between Kurt Russel and Goldie Hawn is worth looking at, but also how Goldies character changes from über-posh and spoiled brat to down to earth and loving wife."Overboard" is a really enjoyable fun rollicking film and enough if taken on its own unambitious terms. Hawn is a hoot, especially in the opening scenes, and she and Russell have great on screen chemistry. The film itself is a mishmash, a sort of warmed over sitcom that has just a hint of the smarmy in its main conceit. By no means is it the best when it comes to romantic comedies but it is a cheerful romantic comedy with that 80's style.Overall rating: 8 out of 10.

The Taming of the Shrew. How many productions have copied that Shakespeare's story? Well, Shakespeare's story did for one, as this plot had already been in existence before he got his hands on it, probably for a long long time. It is the story of a woman who is a b*tch at first, gets rough-handled by a man, which turns her into a good girl, which allows her and the man fall in love with each other in the process.This would probably be torn limb from limb by feminists today and they would have some point, as the plot does sound a bit abusive and Stockholm-syndromy. In fact, Overboard's story is a particularly edgy rendition of that plot because, even though an accident leads Goldie Hawn's character to fall overboard and lose her memory, the man in question acquires control over her through illicit ways.So if the story was already a bit cliché, on top of it, the movie has a standard romantic comedy structure to it with a liar-reveal bit at the end, when Kurt's actions are brought to light and the woman has to listen to a sad music soundtrack for a little bit to figure out that she forgives him. This is not a spoiler by the way. Unless, you have lived under a rock since birth, you know how it ends. It cannot possibly come as a surprise.With all that considered, this film is all the more praiseworthy for taking a worn-out formula and making it so shiny and fun. This movie is genuinely funny and smart, with good comedic timing. Despite its story, it does not come off as offensive, a bit sappy perhaps, but still cute.It is one of Kurt Russel's best performances and his character's many kids are adorable rather than annoying as many movie kids can be.The camera work is alright, though there is no reason for the cameraman to do anything spectacular or notable since this is a down-to-earth film centered on characters.In short, the movie's main flaw is that it is simple and unoriginal. Nonetheless, it is definitely recommended if you just want a heartwarming comedy.
