Overboard
It's the craziest mix-up ever! Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell dazzle the screen in this buoyant and screwball comedy of memory-making and memory faking. One of Hollywood's most dynamic screen pairs, Hawn and Russell make the most of every hilarious situation in this delightful riches to rags romance that's perfect entertainment for anyone who appreciates a great practical joke.
Hawn is Joanna Stayton, the pampered wife of a pretentious, yacht-owning socialite. When their boat gets stuck for repairs, Joanna employs carpenter Dean Proffitt (Russell) to improve her closet space. But when Dean asks to be paid, he's blatantly turned down by the 'nothing is ever good enough for me' Joanna. So when Joanna falls overboard and gets a bad case of amnesia, Dean takes advantage of the situation and, in a stroke of retributive genius, tells her that she's his wife and the mother of his four unruly children!

This movie is awesome. All the actors do such a great job. The storyline is very entertaining. I love how they made her believe she was really poor. Goldie Hawn is such a great actress. Her daughter is just as good, you can see where Kate Hudson gets her talent from. Great story, totally worth watching for a good laugh, and to watch Goldie Hawn at her best!Goldie and Kurt - FilmJunkie
My mother was obsessed with this fun comedy about a woman (Goldie Hawn) who falls overboard on her yacht and wakes up with no memory of who she was. She was a rich b*tch, but the carpenter she abused (Kurt Russell) tells her that she was his wife and the mother of her sons.
While living as a white trash housewife, she learns about real love and humility. As her memory is returned she finds that a life without meaning is no longer so wonderful.
The film is sweet and Hawn is sexy. A true 80's classic.Ciné-fraîcheur! - manie
Cette comédie romantique est drôle et très agréable à regarder! L'histoire d'amour est assez inattendue puisque les deux personnages principaux se retrouvent ensembles par vengeance au départ... C'est une histoire toute simple qui vous séduira certainement
