Going Overboard (1989)

Powerful

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

The first rule of Going Overboard...You do NOT talk about Going Overboard. This is easily one of the worst movies I've ever seen. The acting is terrible. The swearing is excessive and not funny. The pacing is painfully slow. The girls aren't particularly stunning. I wanted to ignore the negative reviews. But they are certainly true. I watched about 15 minutes and then chaptered through. That was all I could take. Incinerate all copies you find.

In a world where Adam Sandler doesn't need to be funny because he has become the comedy: this forgettable mess exists. I won't rip on Adam Sandler because we all know him well enough to just accept the bad movies, but this movie is so mundane and uninteresting that it's hard to even consider it inoffensive. Read the synopsis that IMDb has for this movie, don't watch it, the actual images and sounds that come from the TV don't add anything to the experience other than maybe a few cheap laughs and a whole lot of filler. There is no way you could possibly consider this a well thought out piece of cinema, I would recommend it to anyone over the age of 5000 (nobody who is alive)

Quite possibly the worse movie I have ever seen. My brother rented this about ten years ago and I still haven't forgiven him. How did it get made and after making this horrendous film, who thought it was a good idea to actually release it. I wish I had a picture of the face I was making as a sat through this entire film, so I could at least laugh at that memory. Why the hell was Blockbuster even renting it out! Every copy should be burned!

I understand that this is early in his career but this is the worst movie i ever bought. I'm a HUG movie buff and i have some that are not the best, but this was so bad i tossed it in the trash. The movie is about Adam being on a cruise and feels like he can do a better job as a stand up then the current guy. It just drags on and on with making it seem like your watching it for two to three hours. Pulling your teeth out might be more enjoyable then this flick. Adam, I'm so glad your movies that you make now way better. I only hope that by being involved in this movie was to learn how to better in what you do. As we can all see it clearly was. I want to say thank you and keep it up. I look forward to more.
