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.

Critics Consensus

Overboard makes poor use of the ever-charming Anna Faris -- and chooses questionable source material -- to offer a remake that fails to clear the fairly low bar set by the original.

Mark Kermode

Kermode & Mayo's Film Review

Comedy is very binary. People are either laughing or their not... If you're in a room where a comedy is playing and nobody is laughing you can hear the lack of space.

Observer (UK)

The relationship prospects are about as seaworthy as the Titanic.

Rated: 1/5

Kevin Maher

The Times (UK)

To make matters worse, the chemistry between Faris and Derbez is non-existent and makes you yearn, in a way you never thought possible, for the glory days of Hawn and Russell.

Rated: 2/5

A toothless comedy, although the stars certainly do their best to lift the material.

Rated: 2/4

...a thoroughly middle-of-the-road endeavor that's rarely, if ever, able to entirely justify its very existence.

You'll find yourself cringing at some of the attempts at gags, with some moments really only evoking a pity laughs as the film moves towards its predictable finale.

As a remake it's obviously very predictable. But, it still managed to make me laugh and give me the warm fuzzies. This feels like the dorky nepo baby you want to hate, but still end up loving because while it has the same name is its own oddball thing.

I don’t think the aim of the movie was to enter the canon and displace Bergman or even Woody Allen. It’s lighthearted entertainment with a lot improbabilities in the story, but perfectly adequate to spend two hours watching.

I thought this was a really fun movie. I came across it on prime and so pleased I did. Lots of funny dialogue and very good acting. The young cast who played the daughters were great. A good message and fun. What more could you want

This is a great little comedy romance and I enjoyed the nods to the first Overboard movie. I love watching them back to back, and have watched both renditions many times.
