The original 80s film is often met with this reaction:
Although it did unite Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell, the idea of a woman manipulated after a head injury seems kinda sketchy and awful, often deriding as being sexist and 100% OK.
So how is it going to be better with the gender reversal? Not a lot.
The film revolves around a wealthy playboy who falls of his yacht. Suffering from amnesia, he meets a working class mom who convinces him that they are married.
With Anna Farris, and Eugenio Derbez this looks all kinds of terrible. What do you think?
Overboard is out April!

She'll excessively talk about Filth, how James McAvoy is the best actor of our generation, and how much she loves drag queen Katya Zamolodchikova.
I forgot this was coming out & when I first heard about it I thought it might be okay with Anna Farris as the replacement Goldie Hawn. But the original Overboard gets away with more because it was from the 80s and you could have a little sexism in your movies. I’m not sure how this will work out & it honestly looks terrible.
