Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

ldugan-72362 Honestly, didn't expect to have to read subtitles for a comedy - awful just awful!

westsideschl I was initially, in the beginning parts of the movie, going to rate lower, but found the acting, and humorous (and intelligent at times) dialogue engaging. So, even though the storyline is predictable, i.e. wealthy inheritance playboy son who chases women, parties, drinks and basically is a goofball funster has an interaction with a poor divorced mom coming aboard his yacht to clean up after a party. All of which plays out to his becoming a better person. Mom & daughters benefit too. Eerily, Anna Farris reminded me of Goldie Hawn in appearance and mannerisms who, perhaps not coincidentally, appeared in the 1987 version of "Overboard", but w/the lead roles reversed.

tomandshelli Seriously, Adam Sandler's worst movie is head and shoulders above this Mexican cocaine funded after school special.

emmajanusz I must admit I was a bit apprehensive after reading some of the reviews here, but now having seen this and the original, I realise when rereading the reviews here that many of them come off as "anti-liberalist" and racist, by which I mean they have no more complaint about the movie than how "PC" it is and how many "mexicans" there are. So if that sounds like something you'd say, this might not be the film for you.However, if the (relative) lack of female objectification and sexual harrassment sounds like something you'd enjoy, this film might be for you! The film feels much less like a film having a laugh at torturing a (rich) woman by making her do woman things she doesn't know how to do, and instead like having a laugh at rich people who don't know how to do ordinary things. The film is a lot less questionable in terms of its content than the original, and honestly, feels more wholesome and family oriented. I can genuinely believe that the main guy learns to love these kids and become a part of their family, and that they love him for that. (I don't buy it so much in the original). The characters all feel real and their goals and desires tangible. The film works best (in my opinion) as a romance-based film, not so much a comedy though. In particular, one of the last few scenes ruined the ending a little as it tried to make a joke that for me fell totally flat *and* ruined some of the romance element.In short, I honestly can't see why people prefer the original over this, this film has so much more heart and love inside it.
