The biggest difference between this movie and the 1987 version is not that the genders are reversed, but that this one isn't ever remotely funny. Popular Mexican actor Eugenio Derbez plays the spoiled rich guy and Anna Faris is the strugglingThe biggest difference between this movie and the 1987 version is not that the genders are reversed, but that this one isn't ever remotely funny. Popular Mexican actor Eugenio Derbez plays the spoiled rich guy and Anna Faris is the struggling mom of 3. When he falls off his luxury yacht and gets amnesia, she convinces him that he's the hard-working father and provider of her family. Derbez gives his character plenty of frenzied energy, but the situations and the script are never funny. Faris is comically useless. The Hispanic audience members seemed to enjoy the inside jokes (much of the dialogue is Spanish with subtitles), but the humor didn't translate. In addition, the sweet side of the story never gains much romantic steam. Might be smarter to rent the original.… Expand

I rate this 3 Since the original 1987 version I give it a 6 which is good enough so this one maybe half as good as the old one for some reasons like the main one is that this was boring also you know what’s coming plus for that SpanishI rate this 3 Since the original 1987 version I give it a 6 which is good enough so this one maybe half as good as the old one for some reasons like the main one is that this was boring also you know what’s coming plus for that Spanish language I wasn't able to understand half of the movie so if you watched the original one just stick to it and don't watch this crap if you don't then also watch the 1987 version funnier and more enjoyable if you don't like watching classic old movies then don't watch either… Expand

We walked out. This movie was incredibly boring and not a bit funny or entertaining. Horrible acting..no comedic timing..and such a waste of the hour we forced ourselves to stay in the theatre.

Unfortunately and although it pains me to generalize, a large part of Mexican society likes to consume this type of comedies.
Although the film is mostly produced in the United States, its leaning towards Mexico is too evident.

In Mexico if you disdain something produced by a fellow countryman you're pretty much an outcast but I cannot support this.
The only thing that can be rescued is Anna Faris work, and it's clear she really could be doing better things.

And Derbez once again makes it clear that he has always been a parody, not a true comedian.… Expand

“Overboard” stars Anna Faris, Eugenio Derbez and Eva Longoria in this remake of the 1987 film which starred Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. The film, co-directed and co-written by Bob Fisher and Rob Greenberg, is a trite and near absurd story“Overboard” stars Anna Faris, Eugenio Derbez and Eva Longoria in this remake of the 1987 film which starred Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. The film, co-directed and co-written by Bob Fisher and Rob Greenberg, is a trite and near absurd story that spells “formula film” all the way and, for that reason, challenges the viewer’s logic and patience. I give the film a 2 and suggest that the original directed by the late Garry Marshall is really the one to see. If you forget the title,think "over-bored". Reply Reply All Forward… Expand

I love Anna Faris. But this was just horribly unfunny, poorly cast and tried way too hard. The original was a fair to middling movie that got cute points because it was clear that its stars had chemistry together. This was not that. Add toI love Anna Faris. But this was just horribly unfunny, poorly cast and tried way too hard. The original was a fair to middling movie that got cute points because it was clear that its stars had chemistry together. This was not that. Add to this that (at least the copy I watched) did not feel the need to include subtitles for the frequent and extended Spanish language parts. For a film produced and released in the US, this seems a curious choice.… Expand
