I'm 45 years old now... it's time I admit to myself and the world that I LOVE ROMANTIC COMEDIES. I know that I spent most of my life being pushed towards Action, Sci-Fi, Horror and Screwball Comedies because I'm a DUDE and that's what I was supposed to be into, but my heart was always drawn to the Romantic Comedy aspect of any film.

(Crystal and I disagree on the definition of "Romantic Comedy" - my definition being any light comedy regarding love, be it the love between two lovers or the love of a family for each other or the love of an alcoholic race car driver taking in a group of orphans as his pit crew. Crystal's definition of a Romantic Comedy is "These two people look like they would never do it, but by the end of the movie they totally end up doing it").

So yeah, I LOVED Overboard! Different enough from the original to be surprising, and you have to suspent *just enough* of your belief to buy the idea of the movie. But in the end you've got sincere smiles and laughs from a cast of characters you want to believe in :)
