On this day, December 16, 1987, the romantic comedy Overboard premiered in theaters. Directed by Garry Marshall, the film stars Goldie Hawn as a spoiled heiress and Kurt Russell as a carpenter who seeks hilarious revenge after she wrongs him.

The movie’s charm lies in the chemistry between Hawn and Russell, who bring heart and humor to this quirky tale of mistaken identity, class clashes, and redemption. Despite mixed reviews upon release, Overboard has become a cult classic and a beloved entry in 80s rom-com history, grossing $26.7 million at the box office.
