Going Overboard - 1 star out of 10

Going Overboard - 1 star out of 10

How could anybody, at any point in time, under ANY CIRCUMSTANCE, think that this movie was a good idea?  "Going Overboard" is so awful that you can't even call it bad.  You would have to invent a new term for this movie to explain the horrific stupidity contained within.  This is truly worse than watching an animal die a slow, painful death.  It has some of the worst dialogue that I have ever heard, maybe even worse that “Birdemic” and “The Room.”  For goodness sake, SOMEBODY BUILD A FOURTH WALL AND STOP ADAM SANDLER FROM TALKING TO ME!  This 90-minute commentary between Sandler and the audience is absurd with lines like "These guys don't have anything to do with the film but we just threw them in for variety."  I don't know who wrote the script or why they hired the worst cast of actors available (including Sandler) but this movie is painful.  "Happy Gilmore" and "Billy Madison" are two of my favorite comedies of all time but the stupid humor in this film is delivered so poorly that it is just nauseating.  Sandler's characters are always ridiculous and over-the-top (which makes them so memorable), but these ones are acted so unconvincingly that you just want to see them all go overboard with concrete shoes.  I have watched some awful movies in my day but somehow, this film is a strong candidate for the worst movie ever.
