Fantastic!

The acting in this movie is really good.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I was initially, in the beginning parts of the movie, going to rate lower, but found the acting, and humorous (and intelligent at times) dialogue engaging. So, even though the storyline is predictable, i.e. wealthy inheritance playboy son who chases women, parties, drinks and basically is a goofball funster has an interaction with a poor divorced mom coming aboard his yacht to clean up after a party. All of which plays out to his becoming a better person. Mom & daughters benefit too. Eerily, Anna Farris reminded me of Goldie Hawn in appearance and mannerisms who, perhaps not coincidentally, appeared in the 1987 version of "Overboard", but w/the lead roles reversed.

They needed to remake a movie from 87', the original plot would sound too 'overboard' the political correctiness yatch. Having a man basically kidnapping a rich, young and beautiful girl? naahh... So what did they do? They swapped the genders so with the feminist wave it could look ok for a woman to kidnap a man, use him as a labor, abuse him and basically rape him. Some might say the movie is just a stockholm syndrome justified.Apart from this discussion, the movie has some flaws. The two main actors are very bad, the plot is predictable, you don't really get the feeling of the movie, it never makes you think she is really poor. But, the movie can make you laugh, i laughed at it sometimes. Overall, it is not a bad movie, it's just not good either.

Eugenio Derbez is completely miscast for this role- he cannot be mean or nasty enough for this story to work, he plays his part with too much comedy, it's like watching Dudley Moore in Arthur. The rest of the cast is great but unable to pull this off without a strong lead. Don't even watch this on a rainy day.

Another disgusting product of corporatism and postmodernism. They have been spewing open man-hate propaganda for 15yrs now. Sick.
