Ranking June 2018's Movies From Worst To Best

15. Overboard

Overboard Anna Faris
Lionsgate

RottenTomatoes Score: 26% (4.2/10)

Box Office: Proving the consistent box office power of Mexican comedy mega-star Eugenio Derbez, this $12 million remake of the 1987 Kurt Russell-Goldie Hawn rom-com has grossed more than $85 million to date.

An impressive return-on-investment for a film that wasn't marketed particularly aggressively and is a remake of a box office bomb (the original only barely recouped its $22 million budget).

Verdict: An unsurprisingly bland remake of a movie that wasn't particularly good in the first place, Overboard might do enough to please fans of the charming Anna Faris, but otherwise it's lazy, predictable and at its worst even quite mean-spirited and offensive.

There are plenty of "classic" movies that would benefit tremendously from a gender-swapped remake, but a 30-year-old film about a downtrodden employee gaslighting his amnesiac boss for material gain sure isn't one of them.
