Editorial Review:
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 hisfour unruly children!
Description of Overboard:
Real-life couple Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn star in this enjoyable 1987 comedy by Garry Marshall (Pretty Woman) about an imperious heiress (Hawn) who loses her memory after a boating accident and is identified as the wife of a handyman (Russell). Russell's character brings her "home" to his messy house and unruly kids, and the laughs follow as the aristocratic Hawn tries fitting in. Marshall delivers the comic goods, the leads are entertaining (Russell needs to do more comedy), and the supporting cast is made up of happily familiar faces, including Roddy McDowall, Edward Herrmann, and Marshall favorite Hector Elizondo in an unbilled bit. --Tom Keogh
Overboard Reviews:
I fell in love with Goldie Hawn! 
2009-12-10 - She is awesome... Goldie was fabulous. Kurt was her straight man. Oh..Boy they had oodles of chemistry. Loved all the supporting cast.
This is one intelligent comedy. Its for the ages with repeatable factor. I can watch this movie again and again and like many I do.
If you have not seen it, don't rent. Buy it. You will want to watch it multiple times.
THIS IS A CLASSIC
Put it out on Blue Ray MGM! What are you waiting for?
Overboard
2009-11-27 - Good wholesome movie. Some cuss words not to my liking but overall a fun movie for the entire family. We have seen it many times and never get tired of it. And the final scence is always anticipated.
You will go overboard
2009-11-16 - A snobbish woman (Goldie Hawn) berates a carpenter (Kurt Russell) that was hired to build an "Imelda Marcos" type shoe rack for her boat. Of course she does not pay. Later she falls overboard and gets amnesia naturally the carpenter takes advantage of this in a unique way. At first it it's fun; then love sets in. Will she ever regain her memory and them what? In the meantime what is her hubby up to?
Great plot and well executed.
I'm overboard for this film! 
2009-10-28 - This is a gem of a film. Garry Marshall knows his stuff. Brisk writing, tight script, great acting, quirky minor characters, it's a must see for anyone who loves their comedy on the heartfelt screwball side.
Great movie!
2009-10-09 - I love this movie! To me this movie is one of those that you can watch over and over again. Definitely a must have.
