I agree, the gender-reversed Overboard remake starring Anna Faris still looks absolutely terrible. They should be ashamed of this mess! [Pajiba]
The return of Leo DiCaprio’s struggling dance moves. [LaineyGossip]
Stop sending weird or bad sh-t to Don Trump Jr. and his wife. Let Robert Mueller deal with them, okay? [Dlisted]
Wait, they’re going to do *another* Willy Wonka movie?! [Looper]

I love the original. LOVE it.
This is a travesty.
OVERBOARD and SISTER ACT II are movies I will watch whenever they are on.
This movie just doesn’t look funny and the gender reversal adds nothing. When I read about it I thought Anna Faris was doing the Goldie Hawn role and that made a little bit of sense, in a very obvious way. This just feels wrong and useless.
Me too! 😧
It’s basically about kidnapping and holding hostage an amnesiac. Hated the original.
I know what you mean.
JFC do you find joy in nothing?
Hey. That’s harsh. Maybe she likes movies where people fall in love without being pressured and tricked. Some do.
It is my guilty pleasure. I love Overboard. I can’t help it.
The original original had James Garner & Doris Day. That’s my favorite.
Ok i admit it. I like the trailer. (and i absolutely love the original, too…)
I’m with you. The original was corny, but cute, and I think the gender reversal looks kind of funny.
I liked it too
*hangs head in shame*
I like it too. I saw the original, it was one of those movies I would have on for background noise. This one I may watch…I love a good interracial love story, without it trying to be an interracial love story
the original is so great and I hate that they keep remaking movies but, i’m surprised and impressed that they went with a more diverse actor for the male lead! I was expecting Channing Tatum lol
If I’m not mistaken, that dude is basically the most famous comedy actor working in Mexico today?? (It is SO weird that I know that; at most, I’ve seen him in the *trailer* for Instructions Not Included.) I recognized him in this trailer and, I have to admit, I grinned. Hope he gets the stateside breakout success he deserves.
Liz Hurley should play Melania in the Trump movie.
I’d give it a shot.
I’m tired of all this gender reversed. Why don’t women rate their own, original material?
They do, but dude-bro producers prefer to finance unimaginative gender-reversed remakes of dude-bro movies to cynically cash in on women’s buying power without actually having to engage with women’s thoughts/creativity/voices.
Don’t blame women for the dearth of stories by women for women, blame the men who hold captive the means of production.
They do but they arent given as many chances as their male counterparts. For example Edge of Seventeen was a pretty well recieved coming of age flick (from both critics and audiences) managed to score a Golden Globe nom as well as a Critics Choice nom for Hailee Steinfeld. The writer and director was a female. And yet, despite the success has done nothing since and doesnt even seem to have any future projects lined up. So why hasnt she been able to do more original pieces of work? Or look at Patty Jenkins. She directed an oscar winning performance in Charlize Theron (Monster) and yet the next feature film that she directed was last year’s Wonder Woman. That was about 15 years a part.
just bought edge of 17 on your recommendation from Amazon
Thanks for the tip!
I don’t get Anna Faris. At all.
You know, the Trump Crime Syndicate lies so much and so freely that I half believe they created the white powder themselves.
And I’ll never get an Alexa. It’s bad enough I have a phone that can “listen,” I’m not paying for the privilege of a corporation to listen in 100% of the time.
I more than half believe they created the whole thing themselves. The whole thing reeks. And the fact that it’s not a bigger story makes it even more suspect.
It’s all very strange. They all would have had mail opening procedures explained to them by the Secret Service months ago & that’s for the rare instances when they would be opening mail. Under no circumstances is it imaginable that any of them would open something from someone they didn’t know. And she opened something addressed to him. Did he tell her to open it? Did she open it because she’s suspicious of him getting mail from other women? And of course, Nagini has to horn in by tweeting that she wishes she was there. Oh the missed photo opportunities!
it’s odd that it was addressed to don junior but sent to the MIL’s house – who would know when junior and his wife would be there?
Nope. Just nope.
Maybe it’s because I can’t stand Anna Farris in anything but I more just think nope. Why remake a movie? Because the original was so well loved that maybe they can top it for today’s movie goers. NO. Just no.
I love the original but I think a lot of it had to do with the chemistry between Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn in that movie. There’s a lot of circumstances that worked in Overboard’s favor that I don’t think will translate for a remake. I don’t know why they have to ruin favorite movies by remaking them anyway.
Anything with Anna Faris looks really bad.
She’s not funny. At all. She always looks drunk.
As if a woman who looked like this guy, unconventional and not everyone’s beauty standard would ever in a million years get to play the romantic lead with say I don’t know anyone ever. The only time they do that is in a comedy making a joke of her looks or she is a pathetic loser, and we are all supposed to have faith in the goodness of hot guys by the end.
Keep it Hollywood. #never change
No.
Anna Faris used to be one of my favorite actresses early on.. anyone else see May (2002). Now she just annoys me playing the same dang role every time.
The film looks pretty fun (I never watched the original). And Faris not being likeable kind of suits the role because what she does is pretty terrible.
I’d watch it on Netflix for sure.
I think it’s safe to say in the remake, none of the kids will insist on speaking like Pee-wee Herman.
I wouldn’t even illegally stream or download. Not for me. I like the actors in the original better.
I dont necessarily hate remakes, sequels, re-boots…whatever. I think if it can bring something new to the table, brings us some new insight into that world, or if its a classic story that works in all eras (like a Romeo & Juliet does) , if technologically the film itself could use an update or its based off a book and they want to make a more faithful adaptation or if the original concept was great but it wasnt a success (maybe not the right director for that vision or simply the marketing wasnt good and no one saw it)…those I think can warrant a remake, sequel etc. Now whether they get a good director, writer, cast to execute them is another. Some films I think are perfect on their own. They still hold up by today’s standards. Or they said all they really needed to, or there isnt much lore to explore or expand on. I’d be pissed if like Schindler’s List got remade for instance. It would just be unnecessary. And some are lazy cashgrabs as well. I remember when The Hangover came out it was such a breakout smash. So of course studios decided they could make more money and yet the sequel was basically the SAME movie as the first except it takes place in a different country. As for this Overbpard remake, I suppose there might be a different insight we take away from it since its a single mom and not dad but overall it looks like its the same as the first except their hair isnt as big and they probably all have cell phones now. I dont know, it just doesnt seem that necessary.
Yes, I would like to see more original content being made. But I do understand it can be a risk for studios rather than choosing something that already has a built in audience.
