Overboard (2018)

A single mother (Anna Faris) is working two jobs to support her kids and trying to pass her medical exams so she can get her nurse's license. When cleaning the yacht of a wealthy Mexican playboy (Eugenio Derbez), he refuses to pay her and pushes her overboard along with her cleaning equipment. When he washes up on shore with amnesia, her best pal (Eva Longoria) sees a way for her friend to get even. Directed by Rob Greenberg in his feature film debut, this remake of the 1987 Goldie Hawn comedy is a winner! As much as I loved the 1987 movie, I dare say this version is even better. In addition to the gender reversal (Hawn was the rich bitch and Kurt Russell the single father in the 1987 film), the movie takes the time to show the gradual growth of Derbez from a prick to a decent human being which wasn't the case earlier. There's an addition of a wealth of supporting characters to breathe some life and believability to the far fetched situation. Derbez is a terrific comic actor and Faris is so likable that you can overlook the film's overly sappy ending. I had a wonderful time at it and be sure and stay for the end credits which are hilarious and a highlight of the movie. With John Hannah, Swoosie Kurtz, Cecilia Suarez (very good) and Mel Rodriguez.
