Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
JonathanDWestbay 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.
GrimVindetta 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. Aloha Snackbar.Grim Reaper a.k.a. Grim Vindetta
Terry Anderson 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!
kfo9494 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.
