One of the best films i have seen

Don't Believe the Hype

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

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.

I always hate re-makes, especially if I've seen and enjoyed the original. Derbez's character at the beginning didn't do anything to change my mind; he really did play the perfect ar**hole - and Faris hasn't exactly been known for picking epic roles.Once the scene was set and the plot picked up its pace though, I was very pleasantly surprised. The characters were believable, the "peanut gallery" of supporting cast were fantastic and well-suited to the characters they portrayed, and it just flowed beautifully.Truly a "must watch" if you have a family - or if you're just a big softie at heart.

Bringing in the Latin music and actors!! Remaking a classic with a Latin spice of music that makes you wanna get up and dance and laugh out loud at relatable parts!!!

I don't see why there's so many bad reviews, yes it's a remake and doesn't come close to the original (nor does most movies) can't beat 80's. They have put a little spin as it's now the guy what's the snobby one, but if you go into the film for just a casual watch, and not with big high expectations it's ok.
