What Overboard Is About

Garry Marshall's 1987 film follows a wealthy woman who loses her memory. A carpenter she never paid convinces her she is his wife. She starts looking after four children. The film builds its comedy on that lie; the narrative turns in the end into a warm family story. Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell lead. A remake followed later. The tone is light. Who it's for: those who like nineteen-eighties romantic comedy. Who it's not for: viewers who will find a premise built on deceiving a woman uncomfortable today; the film does not question it.
