Sex Stories
Overboard (1987)
directed by Garry Marshall
rating: 3 out of 5 cravats
on DVD from Netflix
Goldie Hawn looks Kate Hudson-beautiful as she wanders in the prettiest, haziest daze through Kurt Russell's cute kidnapping scenario. Garry Marshall, the director of Pretty Woman and the nail in the coffin of Lindsay Lohan's career, is not surprisingly heavy-handed with the material, but America's favorite unmarried couple skates along like the lovebirds they are. It's a great, generous script, with lots of laughs at the expense of the New York end of things but no real villains. Not even the gold-digging husband is all bad. Like Dean and his four boys, Grant Stayton III knows what he wants and does his best to protect it, while amnesia makes the laughs and the romantic evenings convenient for everyone.
