Default Going Overboard - 'starring' Adam Sandler?
What with this forum being for humour [EDIT: just noticed this is actually the tv and movie forum] I'm thinking this thread is in the wrong place... But has anyone ever seen this most godawful excuse for a comedy?

It's only funny because there isn't a second of the promised 'hilarity' as it describes on the back of the box. It's an early Adam Sandler but also has Billy Bob Thornton and Billy Zane in it... how the hell any of them got work again after this is a miracle. Even the cover looks completely shit (it looks like its printed off the internet using a 1980's colour printer)




I recently aquired it as a gift, albeit a £1-bargain-bin-from-Tescos-gift. And it wasn't a bargain.

I think it's so bad it's good.
I bought it for £2 in a second hand shop out of curiosity.

There's been worse.
Like Bewitched...

I have that from one of those "DVD Player and 25 DVD" deals. Some of the DVDs were good stuff like the Shawshank Redemption and Human Traffic, most were exactly like Going Overboard.

I've seen that dvd on the shelves in some supermarkets.... never been daring enough to buy it though.

I think I made a good choice.

It really is the worst film ever.

Dan's right, it could have killed off all their careers before they'd even started.

Never mind, they all went on to bigger and better things. Well Sandler did, anyway.............

Is Billy Zane the one who is firing it into Kelly Brook?
