Amnesia, revenge, and one very unusual love story… but which version of Overboard truly floats?

In this episode of Mart and Trev’s The Deja Review, we revisit the classic romantic comedy Overboard, starring Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell, before comparing it with the modern remake Overboard, starring Anna Faris and Eugenio Derbez.

The 1987 original became a beloved comedy thanks to the real-life chemistry between Hawn and Russell, the outrageous premise of a spoiled millionaire with amnesia, and the chaotic family life that follows. Decades later, the 2018 remake flipped the concept, turning the story on its head with a modern twist on the classic romantic comedy formula.

Mart and Trev break down the characters, the comedy, the romance, and the biggest differences between the two films, asking whether the remake improves the story or if the original still sails away with the laughs.

Does the 1987 classic still stay afloat…

or does the 2018 remake turn the ship around?

Love, revenge, and one very confused millionaire.
