Leave your thoughts about Overboard.
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekThis mediocre feature-length sitcom is just another unnecessary remake of a movie that wasn't particularly good in the first place. |
| The Only CriticNate AdamsPlease be safe and avoid jumping into these dark and depressing waters. |
| SlateInkoo KangThe new paint job is nice, but the insides may be too creaky to salvage. |
| Detroit NewsAdam Graham"Overboard" is strictly Derbez' show, and he's as subtle as a cartoon. |
| Village VoiceCraig D. LindseyOverboard is a manipulative mindfuck dressed up as a lightweight, heartwarming comedy. |
| La Movie BoeufDavid N. ButterworthThe charisma of our two leads helps elevate this gender-reversal redo of the Goldie Hawn/Kurt Russell "classic." It left a pretty big grin on my face, that's for sure. |
| SlashfilmKaren HanIt's not a perfect movie by any means, but as far as studio romcoms go, it's a pleasant surprise, and better than it really has any right to be. The role reversal is a gambit that's paid off, as is the careful attention to character and class. |
| Crooked MarqueeEric D. SniderThe cheap-looking remake ... is more palatable but sluggish.... Faris and Derbez have no chemistry together - not comedically, not romantically, barely even biologically. |
| AV ClubKatie RifeThe way the script pulls its punches is less offensive than simply toothless, giving Overboard the feel of a film written by a focus group, or maybe a script-writing robot programmed with the latest demographic trends. |
| Arizona RepublicRandy CordovaWriters and directors Bob Fisher and Rob Greenberg don't do anything particularly clever or inspired, but they display a knack for snappy dialogue and draw solid work from the cast. It's enjoyable watching Leonardo and Kate draw closer together, and the film's emotional moments strike the right notes. |
