Rating: Summary: Movie verry funny and good to watch. Review: A fine film, by a fine actor. In my country we do not get a chance to see many movies in the movie house. This was a nice DVD to see. I think the American, Adam Sandler, if verry funny man. Must see for people who like laughing. My family and I liked this movie and think yours will too.
Rating: Summary: I recomend it to Sandler fans and fans of low buget films. Review: A great little film for friends to watch at a party. It was cheep to make and it shows, but it is very funny and full of laughs. My friends and I love to pop it in and watch it at parties. It does not matter if you miss part of it, because the plot is written in such a way you never miss much. It is silly and meant to be. I recomend it to Sandler fans and fans of low buget films. The girls in bikinis are a plus too. Nice clean fun.
Rating: Summary: It is one of those moves you can not see enough. Review: Adam Sander is awsome in this film. He made me laugh so hard I almost fell out of my chair. I have watched it about ten times now and each time I get something else out of it. It is one of those moves you can not see enough.
Rating: Summary: Zero stars for this farce Review: Adam Sandler has made some relatively funny movies in his time. This one is most assuredly not one of them. I realize that this film was one of his earliest projects - long before he hit his stride & could dictate what films he wished to contribute to. In the case of this movie, that point is exceedingly obvious.It seems like this DVD tries to be funny by being unfunny. That's kind of like trying to satisfy your appetite by starving yourself. Nothing in this film is funny - period. It almost appears that it is deliberately that way (kind of ironic for a comedy, wouldn't you say?). The only redeeming quality of this movie is that it does have some fairly attractive women wearing bikinis. If it were not for that, I would give this one negative one stars instead of zero stars. There are some other Sandler movies that are of fairly high quality. Do not make the mistake of believing this is one of them. In fact, if you happen to see this DVD in your shopping cart, be sure & throw it overboard!

Rating: Summary: Adam Sandler is a God! Overboard was just that! Review: Adam Sandler's Overboard was overboard with laughs. I could not stop laughing at this silly film. I am a Sandler fan and like most of his movies. This one was one of my favorites. I have even ordered it for friends. I think you will like it. The part where the two goons take over the ship is really funny.
Rating: Summary: Going Overboard Review: Ah, Going Overboard. The movie that would have never been released had Sandler not found success on SNL and Billy Madison. Yes, this movie is THAT bad, it makes Happy Gilmore look like Shakespear in comparison. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of Sandler's movies... just not THIS one. A few minutes into the movie, Sandler pretty much admits to the audience that this was a "no-budget" flick and they were filming it because they happened to have access to a boat that day. And the movie goes downhill from there, if that's possible. Adam's character Shecky's quest to become the ship comedian is somehow tied with a revenge plot hatched by some third world dictator, and everything is slapped together by many scenes of women in bikinis and the same damn exterior shot of the ship used over and over and over. Despite how bad this movie is, you can definately see the seeds of what would become staples in Adam Sandler movies, such as the completely bizzare side characters and pathetically unhip bad guys. There are a few actual laughs in this movie, which is due from the movie not taking itself seriously, and be sure to look out for cast memeber that would later become regulars in future Sandler movies. Only hardcore Sandler fans would want this movie, if only just to see how their favorite star started out. Everyone else, stay far far away and get "The Waterboy" or "Mr. Deeds" instead.
Rating: Summary: not so bad Review: although i would have to say not my fav movie of all time, it's not all that bad..many folks might enjoy it and for [the price]what a steal!!! i think you see adam sandler in a different light (kinda like jim carey in the majestic....not so moranic...ps i do love little nicky). the kinda look at the camera, documentry style is cool and if you love nostalgia...not enough said 'bout the milton berle appearence....a must see
Rating: Summary: The greatest movie ever made Review: Buy, buy, buy! Think of movie genius's and you think of names such as Scorsese, Kubrick, Tarantino and arguably now Peter Jackson, well you can add Valerie Breiman to that list! This is quite simply the funniest, most rib-tickling movie of all time. Pure Sandler genius - before he sold out and got all commercial on us. Every now and then a movie comes along that is touched by sheer genius, Going Overboard is one of these movies. The jokes come thick and fast, I could barely catch a breath I was laughing so hard. The scene where Dickie's hat gets blown overboard is quite simply hilarious. Also, watch out for some really funny guest appearances from Billy Bob Thornton and Billy Zane and possibly the greatest twist-ending ever - think Usual Suspects crossed with The Sixth Sense crossed with King Lear with a suggestion of American Pie thrown in for good measure. A guaranteed laugh fest, you need to own this DVD if you like movies such as Happy Gilmore, House on Sority Row, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Animal Farm, The Matrix, Citizen Kane, The Godfather Trilogy and Combat Academy. I cannot put into words how much of an impact this movie will have on your outlook on life, it is a 20th century fable that is more relevent today than ever.
