	Author	Review
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"Bob Fisher and Rob Greenberg start off with a movie so dull it threatens to vanish from the viewer's memory before it's even finished (...) The pic's vision of this odd but happy family is sufficiently warm"	NEU
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"'Overboard' has been made with enough bubbly comic spirit and skill that the gender switch turns out to be a smart move (...) The family theme lends it a dimension of novelty"	POS
United States	William Bibbiani IGN	"The cast does the best they can to save the weak material (...) But it's not funny enough, or even weird enough, to get away with it."	NEG
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Faris and Derbez have zilch romantic chemistry (...) The remake's plot is damn near impossible to swallow (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Glenn Kenny The New York Times	"At first, it’s just kind of flat, from the writing to the lighting (...) [It] is not the worst time to spend a couple of hours with a movie that’s pretty much all marshmallow"	NEU
United States	Emily Yoshida Vulture	"By shifting its perspective and updating its anxieties, 'Overboard' is a decent-to-great model for a rom-com renaissance"	POS
United States	Scott Mendelson Forbes	"The picture isn't very good, and the most 'problematic' thing about it is how bereft of laughs it quickly becomes (...) A relatively insignificant mediocrity"	NEG
United States	Kate Erbland IndieWire	"Anna Faris and Eugenio Derbez shine in this competent, gender-swapped remake (...) 'Overboard' doesn’t craft enough comedic setpieces"	NEU
United States	Leah Greenblatt Entertainment Weekly	"A sweet-natured but unnecessary reboot (...) 'Overboard' tweaks the formula just enough to make it modern-ish (...) [It] just drifts away"	NEU
