This time around Anna Faris and Eugenio Derbez take the lead roles, with the latter playing the snooty yacht owner, who mistreats the help, only to get his ass handed to him when he wakes up with amnesia, and she convinces them that they’re married. Wild! This time around, the rich jerk will have to learn the horrors of being “poor,” well “movie poor,” which in this case means more kinda middle class. Scary stuff!
Co-starring Eva Longoria and Swoosie Kurtz, “Overboard” opens on April 20, 2018.
