Going Overboard (1989)
For Sandlers First Time Who Can Blame Him
I happened upon this movie in Best Buy near my thirteenth birthday, when i first saw that Adam Sandler was the lead i decided to check it out, even though he has made and still does stinkers. The premise was a bit sketchy a young waiter on a boat wants to become a comedian and miraculously the ship comedian disappears giving Adam Sandlers character the chance to shine. Even though i was a bit unsure i decided to buy the DVD noticing that Burt Young and Billy Zane both were in it as well. After viewing "Going Overboard" the first thing i was surprised about was how number one nothing really happened and number two that as a whole wasn't really funny. But in all fairness this is Sandlers first feature from 1989 way before he was worldwide famous and his comedic roots hadn't developed yet at the time, also come on people this movie was made on an extreme shoestring budget so what can you really expect. I would only recommend this to movie fans who want to collect all of Adam Sandlers DVD's but don't buy it assuming this is going to be a laugh fest.
