Overboard (1987)
Overboard (1987) is an American romantic comedy film directed by Garry Marshall and written by Leslie Dixon. Heiress Joanna Stayton is accustomed to a wealthy life with her own yacht and fortune, along with her husband Grant Stayton III. While waiting for her yacht to be repaired in the fictional seaside town of Elk Cove, Oregon, Joanna hires local carpenter Dean Proffitt, a widower with four sons, to remodel her closet. Despite Dean’s quality work, she dismisses it because he used oak instead of cedar without her requesting it initially. Dean asks to be paid for the work he has done so far in order to redo the closet, but Joanna refuses. This leads to an argument where he criticizes her entitled attitude, ultimately resulting in an angry Joanna throwing Dean and his tool kit into the water.
That evening, as the yacht sets sail, Joanna heads up to the deck to retrieve her wedding ring. However, she loses her footing and falls into the water. Thankfully, she is rescued by a garbage scow. Unfortunately, due to amnesia, Joanna is taken to the local hospital. When Grant hears about this, he rushes to pick her up. However, upon observing her in the psych ward, he changes his mind. Growing tired of her belittling behavior (much like Dean and her mistreated staff), he returns to the yacht and throws lavish parties with younger women while pretending that Joanna left him by choice. Meanwhile, after seeing Joanna’s story on the news, Dean seeks revenge by convincing her that she owes him money for unpaid services.
