It doesn't hold up - if you didn't see it in the 80s or early 90s very few would like it, IMO.
meh , i think it's funny, it's just a classic fish out of water story.

I never thought of it like that. I doubt people go out and kidnap/rape/ brain wash somebody because overboard makes it ok.
I play madden two or three times a year, that's the extent of my video game playing. But people play games where all they do is kill people, but they don't stop playing because of what it promotes. And they have actually caused people to go out and do some stuff. Same with super violent movies.
Kill bill and sin city are two of my favorite movies in general so i guess i dont have mich rooom to talk, but that's why I don't play video games like that or watch just a ton of violent movies and hate the gore genre. Yet people go out and play the games for hours and watch the same type of movies on a regular basis and I've never heard that gripe about the rewatchability of them. I'm not trying to be a hypocrite, but I think overboard is way way way down the line in what I would worry about promoting bad stuff.

I love that movie but I'm a Goldie Hawn fan anyway. It's one of those fun movies I can watch over and over.

b/c it kinda sorta promotes kidnapping, brain washing, and rape?
The movie was for pure entertainment purposes only. Dean Profitt never kidnapped her. He just used the rich bitch to repay the money that she
basically stole from him.
If anything her husband was to blame by not claiming her when he visited the hospital. The only reason he came back was because his mother-in-law was threatening to cut off all protruding members of his body.

lol wut?
a lady hits her head hard enough to lose her memory and a random contractor that once worked for her lies his way into taking her from the hospital and you don't call that kidnapping?
its really not that different than some sleazebag tricking a young child into going with them.

I'm no expert on "Overboard", but as I recall she stiffed him on some tacky closet carpentry work he did for her and flung his tools into Puget Sound. He claimed her from the hospital to repay her debt by 1) using her as a housekeeper and 2) to pacify the Social Services woman who was threatening to take away his ill mannered brood of children.
He wasn't raping her and I don't even recall him sleeping with her (until she went full blown Stockholm Syndrome at the end!)

I think part of the charm is that Goldie and Kurt have such great chemistry together. They are definitely meant for each other.
