Anyone who has ever dealt with the super rich can appreciate and understand this movie. Dean Prophet (Kurt Russell) is a carpenter in a small Northwest fishing village. He is a widower and has four or five misbehaved boys that have no manners or courtesy. They are bad! Summoned to her yacht while it is being serviced, Joanna (Goldie Hawn) instructs Prophet to build her a new closet in her stateroom. He does so but she refuses to pay saying that it was not to her liking. She then throws both him and his tools into the water as her yacht is leaving. Later that night little Miss Priss falls overboard and is rescued by a garbage scow. She is brought ashore with amnesia. She has no idea who she is or where she is from. Her husband who is a real piece of work comes to claim her, but when he realizes she has no memory, he leaves here there. Dean Prophet sees her on TV and goes down to claim her as his wife for payback. Over the next months she is cook, housekeeper, mom, and everything else. Dean is actually falling in love with her, but can't tell her that he is just taking advantage of her. This is a cute movie and is really funny. Suddenly when Joanna and Dean realize that they are in love, she regains her memory. Back on the yacht with her husband she realizes that she wants Dean and the kids back. Funny movie.Read full review
I covered what this movie brings to a viewer - and you REFUSED what I thought an excellent review. DON'T ask me to waste my time reviewing ANOTHER movie. My review captured the essence of a complicated movie and you acted as if my time were superfluous. Jack

I bought this movie because I recently attended a concert by The Wright Brothers Band, and they mentioned they had a part in this movie. They were the band playing in the bar where Kurt took Goldie for her birthday dinner. This group has been together for 36 years, are from Central Indiana, and are well-loved around here and on the road. I remembered having seen the movie in the late 1980's after it's release, but forgot much of the story line. I really thought it was hilarious this second viewing, and offered some good thoughts about relationships and what's important in life. It's one of Goldie's best roles in my book.............put the youngsters to bed and enjoy a good movie!
The wife and I really enjoyed this movie when we were younger After watching the new one we wanted to watch the old one We think that it is. A little better

This film stands the test of time with ease! Ok, Kurt Russell's role seems far more dominating that I remember from when I watched this in my younger days, but it's a fun film that everyone can enjoy! All performances are brilliant and it's an easy film to follow. One of the few films that are just the way i remember them!
