Nonureva Really Surprised!
Cortechba Overrated
Supelice Dreadfully Boring
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Jack Vasen This movie doesn't take itself seriously, so how do you describe it in the usual terms of plot, acting, and direction. The plot is predictable and ridiculous but it's still great. The acting? Looks like they had a great time doing it and it was fun to watch so who cares. The movie turned out great so the directing was fine.It's a cute love story with the usual 1) they hate each other, 2) they fall in love, 3) something breaks them up, and 4) well you know how that goes.Goldie Hawn is adorable. I thought she overplayed the rich witch a little, but then that was how all the rich people were played. Kurt Russell is fine, but besides Hawn, the stars were the kids.I loved the last line of the movie.
meloda This is a truly outstanding movie. Hilarious, adventurous, fun, entertaining, and a great story. How could this movie not been a bigger success? Goldie Hawn plays rich and arrogant Joanna, who is never happy or satisfied with anything. Kurt Russell plays Dean Profit, a dirty man with not huge sense of responsibility. Once the "overboard" incident occurs, Dean pretends to be her husband, initially just for revenge on how she previously cheated him. It's a complete disaster at first, especially with his dirty home and dirty kids that all con her into thinking she's their mother. There are quite a bit of unexpected twists and turns along the way. It's amazing what they unexpectedly and inadvertently teach each other along the way. There are so many laughs along the way, so many unexpected turns, and it is such a good all-around movie with such a humorous plot and great story-line that ends so happily.Though times have changed and it's now a little out-dated; it's still a great watch if you have nothing else to do, as long as you remember this was the mid-80's and how much life has changed ever since. Wonderful for an 80's movie, and a true 8/10 score in my book. BRAVO, Hawn & Russell!
peaceguy This was just a great, fun film. It was extremely enjoyable to watch! The casting was great - couldn't have been better! The film is really hilarious! The kids were also really excellent. They were actually genuinely funny and made me laugh! Kurt Russell was excellent. He did a great job as the carpenter. You could see his growth - from vengeance to actual true love. Very enjoyable story. I really liked it. And I'm a - GUY! Goldie was great as well as the nasty rich girl, but when she got amnesia, she really showed heart and warmth. And Edward Hermann was a blast to watch also... All around just a great, fun, romantic comedy! Rent this film now - and watch it, if you want to smile! :)
drpakmanrains As I write this review, I have just watched this delightful comedy for what is about the 15th time, and it still is one of my all-time favorites. Yes it is formulaic, predictable, and often overdone. Yes it's true that if this were to happen in real life it would be criminal, and punishable to the extreme. Yet it manages to be both funny and heart-warming, with some eternal truths thrown in about values and what is important in life. Also it has some original ideas, such as building a miniature golf course and not going overboard (No pun intended) on school achievement and test scores. Despite the fact that this was not made to be an Oscar contender, it nevertheless is as close to a perfect comedy as I own in my huge DVD collection, and is a favorite of mine and most of my friends. If you can't enjoy this, I honestly feel sorry for you; you need to lighten up.
