"overboard" (movie critique)

OVERBOARD

In 1987, the cry was "Woman Overboard" but in 2018 the cry became "Man Overboard"!  

The original "Overboard", way back in 1987, starred Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. In that movie Goldie played the spoiled uncaring rich heiress who falls overboard.  She is found by Kurt Russell who is a hard working single Dad who brings her home as his wife.

But in the 2018 verison, the roles were reversed, and it made for merry fun with a Spanish touch!

Here is an overview of the movie from the internet:


Kate is a single, working-class mother of three who's hired to clean a luxury yacht that belongs to Leonardo -- a selfish, spoiled and wealthy Mexican playboy. After unjustly firing Kate, Leonardo falls off the boat and wakes up with no memory of who he is. To get payback, Kate shows up at the hospital and convinces the confused amnesiac that they're married. As Leonardo tries to get used to manual labor and his new family, Kate starts to wonder how long she can keep fooling her fake husband.


CAST:



Anna Faris
Kate
Eugenio Derbez
Leonadro











This is cute RomCom with a few laughs along the way. Part of the dialogue is in Spanish but subtitles are projected on the screen so you don't miss the fun.  If you are like The Travelling Toe and saw the original 1987 version, then you know how this one ends as well....but no spoilers here!!

The Travelling Toe awards this movie 2 third toes up with your very own pizza: 





PS if you see the movie then you will know why the pizza
