a good comedy

Joanna Stayton (Goldie Hawn) is a rich lady who has everything she wants and needs. She is in need of a carpenter (Dean Profitt, played by Kurt Russell) to build a shoe rack in a closet, within 48 hours. But Joanna isn't happy with the result and she refuses to pay Dean for his work.
Later during the night, Joanna falls overboard her yacht. Recovering in the hospital, she realizes she doesn't know who she is. Dean takes advantage of the situation and takes her in, telling her she's his wife and has 4 boys. It's pay back time!

I loved the performances of Hawn and Russell. Since they are married in real life, it was fun to finally see a movie with both playing husband and wife.
Also nice performances from Edward Herrmann (Joanna's husband Grant), Katherine Helmond (Joanna's mother) and Mike Hagerty (Dean's best friend).

The music is very 80s, and it was quite appropriate for the movie.

This film is a little outdated and a little cliched, but the comedy is still there, and thorougly enjoyable. Funny scenes and lines all through the motion picture.

Everyone should enjoy it.
