Overboard

Overboard (1987) - 2/5

This movie has a lot of heart, but loses its way in the middle. The sweet undertone of the movie is tinged with an unshakeable creepiness, and although the leads have a lot of chemistry it’s a strange cocktail all told. It’s a fair enough premise that goes a bit wonky in the execution.

Closest comparison: It’s like The Prince and the Pauper by way of Maid in Manhattan.
