Watch Going Overboard For Free

Very Cool!!!

That was an excellent one.

Sorry, this movie sucks

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

It is worse than HELL to watch this "movie". The worst way to spend 99 minutes of your life. If you ever plan on watching this "movie", do yourself a favor. Break the DVD in half and use the the pieces to slit your wrists. Hey C.I.A., forget waterboarding. Just show this to receive all the information and more, in no time.Papa Bless.

This is the worst film I have ever seen! Everyone involved in this film should be highly ashamed of themselves!

Released in May of 1989, this $200,000 comedy farce is really only notable for being the first feature film to star future A-list funny man, Adam Sandler. But before he matured, or was even cast as a player in Saturday Night Live, he starred as a struggling comic onboard a cruise. After his recent string of uninspired, unfunny cash-grabs, it's easy to forget Sandler was once a hilarious comic with some truly great material... sadly however, we get almost none of that in this sorry excuse for a film. Instead, he puts on stupid voices, mugs for the camera, and generally acts like an incompetent goof for the majority of the 97 minute film. The supporting cast includes Tom Hodges, Scott LaRose, Billy Zane, and Billy Bob Thorton - none of whom are the slightest bit memorable. The story plods along to the incessant sounds of a steal drum calypso, bland jazz, and cheap Muzak, also the actual presentation style is curious and inconsistent.Sandler himself breaks the fourth wall to introduce us to the story, immediately apologizing for its "no budget", and then he's shelping the viewer around boat like we're watching his personal vlog. But other sequences are conventionally shot, and edited for some reason - I hesitate to guess what director Valerie Breiman was possibly thinking. The lethargic and pointless narrative is worsened by constantly cutting away to Miss Universal confessionals, ridiculous dream sequences, and Burt Young as General Noriega who is actually watching the film itself on VHS, who defends his honor by shouting at the TV, "We'll see who gets the last laugh, you left over worthless kangaroo vomit!" Besides being awfully paced, the R-rated movie is really quite uncomfortable and awkward... every scene plays out three times longer than it needs to, almost as if they were deliberately padded so the picture could qualify for "feature length". With unrealistic dialogue, and empty characters - this film is devoid of conflict and tension, making it at true struggle to actually sit through. It's no surprise this film presently sits in IMDb's bottom-10 rated movies of all time... it is just so painfully boring, I regretted watching literally every scene. "Going Overboard" is a "Terrible. Not even enjoyable ironically." With no redeeming qualities and nary a single laugh whatsoever, it's a wonder Sandler actually managed to have a successful career after piece of GARBAGE.

I was unaware of this movie when I came across this in VHS format at a yard sale in my area. I saw the young face of Adam Sandler and thought that this my be a lost gem from his early days. In fact it was more like a rock than a gem.This is a story of gibberish that was so boring that you could not keep up with what was happening on the screen. The situation was utterly ridiculous and the lines were so unfunny I actually felt sad for the actors. Perhaps it was my VCR that made the picture of the film look sloppy but it seemed like it was filmed as a high school project rather than by professional adults. I was glad when I saw the review of others that I was not alone in panning this film. And with all that said, I still feel cheated out of 10 cents.
