Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was excited to hear a sequel to Overboard was coming out, but this movie is such a flop. -a main plot point in this movie is the spotlight on the male character''s Mexican heritage. It's unnecessary and so forced that I was imagining the meeting where studio execs got the idea to try for cross-over appeal to increase the movie's market share. Instead they ruined the movie for both markets. (I'm normally a fan of Eugenio Derbez' comedy, but he really disappoints here) -Anna Faris has none of Goldie's sparkle. It seems as if she's being over-directed and the result is painful and weirdly sleepy -You can feel how afraid the producers are of being labeled sexist, like the original movie sometimes was, so this entire remake comes off as defensive. They definitely take no chances. I understand that the original movie isn't in line with today's PC standards, but that made its empowering moments stand out- like Goldie's brilliant b&tchin3ss when she decides to defend the little boy. This movie has none of that and it comes off as a long, boring apology.
