This screwball comedy casts real-life couple Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn in a film that finds the latter returning to her roots in a role reminiscent of Private Benjamin (1980). Hawn stars as Joanna Stayton, a snooty heiress who summons carpenter Dean Proffitt (Russell) to her lavish yacht, where she wants an expanded closet constructed that will house her valuable wardrobe. When Dean fails to build the closet out of cedar, Joanna haughtily dismisses him without payment. Later, Joanna falls overboard and is struck by another boat, causing amnesia. Seeing her story on the news, Dean constructs an elaborate scheme to pretend that Joanna is his wife, Annie. Soon, the former rich snob is cleaning Dean's home and babysitting his four rambunctious boys. Although at first she's a disaster, "Annie" grows into her role and begins to love being a mom and middle-class wife. When her real husband, Grant (Edward Herrmann), comes looking for her, however, her memory is jogged, and she must decide between a life of privileged ease and a life of happy housework. Overboard was the feature-film debut of writer Leslie Dixon, the granddaughter of famed photographer Dorothea Lange. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

In this teen sex comedy, a group of four male friends are determined to do something about their moribund sex life, and so they portray themselves as up-and-coming porn filmmakers out looking for good female stars. This introduces them to the women they want to meet, but one of these women has a father with some dubious connections to organized crime -- and he is more than a little peeved when he finds out what these young teens have been doing to his daughter's honor. The ensuing confrontation involves a fleet of luxury cars descending on the hapless, would-be filmmakers -- soon to be grateful that their cameras were never loaded since the guns of their aggressors clearly are. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi
