Viewing Notes

Ah, one of the movies I’ve seen most in my life, I think. OVERBOARD was one of my mother’s favorites and thus my childhood is a blur of TRANSFORMERS and Goldie Hawn’s ass in a zebra print bathing suit.

It’s certainly no landmark, but as a run of the mill comedy it’s pretty good and everything works out exactly how you’d expect; it’s a comfort food movie and that’s okay.
