Overboard: Original vs Remake – Why?

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.Two long time friends, one podcast.This is The Deja Review.Enjoy the episode and remember to like, follow and tell your friends.As always a massive thank you to Little Foil Fish for our theme tune - ⁠ @LittleFoilFish Mart & TrevSubscribe to our Podcast - ⁠ @TheDejaReview TIMESTAMP00:00 Introduction to Deja Review00:22 Overview of Overboard (1988)03:00 Themes and Tropes in Overboard05:51 Character Analysis and Performances10:09 Trivia and Fun Facts15:58 Discussion on the 2018 Remake20:13 Comparative Analysis of Both Films30:12 Final Thoughts and Conclusions#GoldieHawn #kurtrussell #EdwardHerrmann #KatherineHelmond #MikeHagerty #RoddyMcDowall #eugenioderbez #annafaris #evalongoria #johnhannah #SwoosieKurtz #MelRodriguez #moviereview #movieexplained #movies #overboard #filmchat #moviereviews #movielovers #podcastrecommendations #moviepodcast #Overboard1987 #Overboard2018 #romanticcomedy #movieremakes #80smovies #thedejareview
