Overboard

 

Hey Everyone, I hope you all are doing well and having a wonderful week!

 I have had a great start to the age of 29, I have decided to write about one of my favorite movies starring Goldie Hawn, and Kurt Russell It was produced in 1987 the movie is OverBoard.

 And it has an amazing cast.. the movie starts off with a lovely lady named Joanna Mintz Stayton who is a snobbish socialite accustomed to a life of luxury alongside her penpecked husband Grant Stayton the third, she is waiting for her yacht to be repaired in the fictional fishing village of Elk Cove, Tillamook County Oregon.

Joanna hires Dean Proffitt, a widower husband with four sons, to remodel her closet, Dean produces a good quality of work, which she dismisses because he used Oak instead of Cedar and it is a request that she never specifically asked for..

Dean agrees to redoing the closet because Joanna doesn't like the way he has done it and she tells him it is not what she asked for, he agrees to redo the closet the way she likes if he is paid for the work he has previously done already.

Joanna unfortunately doesn't agree to pay him because she isn't happy with the previous work he has already done, Joanna and dean end up having an argument and he follows her outside and their argument ends up turning into a funny situation.

She wants him to leave he tells her that he isn't going anywhere until he gets payed... Joanna throws his tools and his tool belt into the water and he ends up going overboard into the water, while he is down there Joanna tells him that everyone wants to be her and have the life that she is currently living at this point in time.

 Dean makes it back home and upon his arrival at home he is greeted by his son's principal who threatens that she will call social services on him to take his sons away because his sons are undisciplined and struggle in school.

Dean isn't interested in the parent part of raising his boys he wants to hang out with his buddies of his then be an attentive parent and take care of his boys.

That night Joanna and her husband Grant are watching Tv and Joanna realizes she left her wedding ring on the yacht deck outside and she asks Grant to get her wedding ring because she wants it now, he isn't interested in getting the ring she goes to retrieve her wing and it is a little windy that evening she is having trouble keeping her balance and staying steady on the Yacht.

She does get the ring she ends up going overboard into the water and Grant doesn't even notice until the next morning.. she is fished out the water by a garbage scow, she is taken to a local hospital and is suffering from temporary amnesia, her snobbish vindictive personality is still the same as ever, a interviewer comes and talks to her to see if she remembers anything about herself like her name or anything else she says I know my name I Know it... she sees another patient staring at her while she is being interviewed and she asks him what she is looking at ? 

She tells him to eat his checkers, her husband comes to the hospital to see if it his Joanna  he decides to not pick her up and tells everyone back at their home that Joanna has decided to leave him because he wants her fortune to himself and he is tired of her cruelty, he starts having parties with younger women.

Joanna's story is now showing on the news on Tv Dean happens to see it playing on the tv while he is out bowling with his friends.

He decides to take revenge on her by having her work for him to pay off her unpaid bill, he goes to the hospital and claims she is his wife and the mother of his sons she tells the nurse that she has no idea who he is he kisses her and then tells the nurse where she has a tattoo of a strawberry and Joanna goes to look where he said she has the tattoo and then reluctantly goes home with him and is appalled by where they live.

 Joanna has a little difficultly at first in her current situation with the house and the boys the more time she is there she starts adapting and getting more comfortable and getting along with the boys, later she learn's about the boy's schooling and family issues how Dean works two jobs to make ends meet secretly.

She streamlines the money problems with more efficient budgeting and tells Dean to be a more responsible father.

 Dean has had a dream about having a miniature golf course and Joanna helps make it come true by helping him design one,  he doesn't tell her real identity because he's afraid if he tells her who she is in real life she will leave him and go back to her real life, a couple months go by and Edith Joanna's mother grows suspicious of her daughter's missing and threatens to have Grant hunted down, he is forced to retrieve Joanna and upon arrival she remembers him and who she is and then realizes she was manipulated by Dean.

Joanna is very distraught and goes back to her yacht with Grant which is headed to New York City, she can't believe how mean her mom and Grant is being to the staff on the yacht, she apologizes to her butler Andrew and the rest of the boat staff for her spiteful treatment towards them and realizes how happy she is and was with Dean prompting her to turn the yacht back towards Elk Cove.

You will have to see the rest of the movie to find out what happens, I can assure you it is a very happy ending and that Dean and Joanna are both smiling and happy in the end and live happily ever after.

I decided to write about this movie because I love the storyline and the way Goldie and Kurt bring their characters to life as if they are the real characters they are playing in real life.

They put everything they have into their characters to make them believable to the audience and bring the audience into their story.

This is one of my favorite rom-coms It always puts me in a happy and laughing mood every time I see it, One of my favorite lines from the movie is when Joanna tells Dean Everybody wants me to be me... and how she tells him it wasn't done to my satisfaction that line always makes me laugh.

 I also like how it talks about the importance of family and love.. those who know me know that I am a big family person.

 I absolutely love my family, I enjoy talking with them and texting them on the phone and seeing how they are doing, I enjoy and cherish every moment I have with my family because I know time is short, and tomorrow isn't promised.

 I encourage you all to live each day with no fear and that you can do anything you put your mind to....  One of my favorite family moments is when I did zoom calls with my family, and we celebrated birthdays together and spent time together and had the most wonderful time... I know my family will always be there for me and love me unconditionally... they always make me smile and laugh.. and always there whenever I need something or have something to share with them.  

I am a very lovable and kind, caring person, I was so elated to see my friend Mrs. Niya Cotton who is a psalmist and is absolutely incredible at it.

She captured my heart the first time I heard her sing.... She has the voice of an angel and is so sweet and Kind and a whole lot of fun and has a heart of gold! 

I love her to pieces she gave me the biggest hug ever, It warmed my heart, I think she knew how excited I was to see her! That's my girl! I encourage you to lace up your boots, put on your backpack it's time to ride!!!!

My favorite scene from the movie is when Dean and Joanna first meet. that scene makes me laugh a lot especially when he goes overboard into the water! I also like the scene when Joanna puts a pie in deans face!

I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to see a good movie! And have a nice heart felt experience!
