Forget what you remember of the original 1987 Overboard (Goldie Hawn, Kurt Russell), ’cause this new version with Eugenio Derbez and Anna Faris has its own sensibility. I enjoyed all the chemistry between all the actors and I had quite a few chuckles with the storyline.
We got to sit down and talk with the stars of the film. Now you can listen in on their take of making this Overboard.
The plot: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures (MGM) and Pantelion Films presents Overboard, a fresh take on the iconic romantic comedy. In a splashy new twist, Overboard focuses on “Leonardo” (Derbez), a selfish, spoiled, rich playboy from Mexico’s richest family and “Kate” (Faris), a working class single mom of three hired to clean Leonardo’s luxury yacht. After unjustly firing Kate and refusing to pay her, Leonardo falls overboard when partying too hard and wakes up on the Oregon coast with amnesia.
Full cast: Eva Longoria, Mel Rodriguez, Omar Chaparro, Josh Segarra, Jesús Ochoa, Hannah Nordberg, Alyvia Alyn Lind, Payton Lepinski, Swoosie Kurtz, Cecilia Suárez, Fernando Luján, and John Hannah.
