Not as good as the original but still entertaining and heartwarming. I liked the switch to more modern times where the man is cooking, cleaning, etc. The chemistry between the main characters wasn't entirely believable. I also liked how…

A very bad remake of the Goldie Hawn/Kurt Russell original. At least that version was funny. This one is not.

You can't never go wrong watching Eugenio Derbez, he is super funny as usual. Very entertaining.

Not as good as the original Overboard with Goldie Hawn but still an ok movie to watch.

This is one of those movies that wasn't that great, but it was funny and you'd didn't regret wasting your time watching it. At a glance, I wasn't sure about the two main characters chemistry but it wasn't that bad. If you're looking for…

This film surprised me. The cast was very good, with some fall-over laughing moments and some sappy ones that evened out the predictable story line. Overall, it was worth the watch. Anna Faris is this generation's Lucille Ball, her comedy…

Tenderness, love, and wry ticklish humour even in the subtitled Spanish dialogue. Some tweaking of the original to make it interesting. But why a remake? Are we so short of ideas or afraid of taking risks, we need to borrow from past…

I started to watch this with a friend and we both thought it was so bad that we didn't even watch the whole movie. Instead of watching this movie I recommend the original film starring Goldie Hawn & Kurt Russell.

Strange choice for the male lead. His acting was a bit one dimensional and hard to accept as a romantic role. Some funny situations but a let-down compared to the original.

It is a comedy, a reversal of the original overboard. In this one a man falls overboard and is kidnapped by a woman. It's funny yet sensitive. Really enjoyed it!

I found it dragged out and not funny. The lead actors seem like they were forcing their roles, where as the co-stars did a great job with what they had to work with & were pretty much the only reason worth watching the movie in my…

Romance comedy. As the title suggests, it uses the original "Overboard" story formula but successfully makes it a different story using 2 lead characters with different backgrounds. For me, the lead male seemed too feminine to make me…

A funny remake of this classic comedy—except this time the gender is flipped and Mexican star Eugenio Derbez plays the mega-rich, condescending playboy who falls off his yacht. He loses his memory and winds up being scammed by the very…

The change in story and ending was refreshing but I thought the commentary quoted and mirrored the original too closely at times. the acting was fine and fun but not as good as the dynamic and skill of Goldie and Kurt.

I like the remake. I wasn't expecting much, but I really like how they changed up the story. Its not just a copycat movie. Well done. There were big shoes to fill, considering the leads in the original movie.

OK Watched the original over 5 times Barely made it through this one once. The funny parts were spoiled by having to read the subtitles

This movie did not reach the hype of the original. One to stay clear of.......

This movie had to be very careful remaking one of Goldie Hawn's better comedies. In the end the remake didn't even come close. As a stand alone film had some funny moments with an improbable end.

Not as good as the original movie made in 1987 with Kurt Russel and Goldi Hawn. It was ok and I believe if I had not seen the original then I probably would have enjoyed it better. However, I just did not find the reversal of the sexes…

Decided not to watch, too many negative comments, Tomatometer 25% & audience 57.

No chemistry between the main characters, too long (almost 2 hours), having to read the subtitles so often and for so long disrupted the flow of the action (instead of seeing the actors acting, I was busy reading). Not a good remake.

Felt like a made for TV movie. No chemistry between the two leads, hated having to read the closed caption when they spoke Spanish so often, too long and predictable.
