Overboard is a 2018 American romantic comedy film directed by Rob Greenberg, who wrote the screenplay with Bob Fisher and Leslie Dixon. A characteristically-reversed remake of the original 1987 film (also scripted by Dixon), the film stars Eugenio Derbez (in the Goldie Hawn role), Anna Faris (in Kurt Russell's), Cecilia Suárez (in Edward Hermann's), Eva Longoria, and John Hannah. It follows a struggling, working-class single mother who convinces a rich playboy with amnesia that they are married.
Overboard was released in the United States on May 4, 2018, and grossed $91 million worldwide against a budget of $12 million. The film received unfavorable reviews from critics, who praised Faris' comedic performance but criticized the story as mediocre and failing to distinguish itself from the original.
