I really want Anna Faris back in the movie business and a remake of Goldie Hawn's 1987 comedy Overboard seemed at first glance like a fun possibility, but the buzz on this sucker (in theaters tomorrow) is pretty bad - it still seems incomprehensible to me, with all due respect to her co-star Eugenio Derbez, that they didn't cast her at-the-time husband Chris Pratt in the role.
Chris Pratt is so Kurt Russell that they hired Kurt Russell to play his dad in the second Guardians movie, for god's sake. I know the socio-economic and gender roles have been reversed this time in order to get around the original's way dated notions of such things but it still feels like a huge opportunity missed. Oh well. I guess we'll see! (Probably when it hits Netflix.) But as long as we're here and I'm thinking about what great white trash Kurt played back in the 80s...
