Stars in Rewind: Adam Sandler 'Going Overboard'
Filed under: Comedy, Trailers and Clips, Stars in Rewind
Before The Wedding Singer, Mixed Nuts, or even Saturday Night Live, Adam Sandler starred in Going Overboard. He played Schecky Moskowitz, a wannabe comedian who gets a menial job on a cruise ship that finds itself terrorized by all sorts of baddies -- thugs, Panamanian mercenaries -- you know, the usual.
The so-called comedy has the honor of being #31 in IMDb's Bottom 100 list. It might not have beat greats like The Hottie & the Nottie, but it did trump flicks like Glitter and Troll 2. It's pretty embarrassingly bad, and not even a brief trailer like the one above could make it look good.
Many people, me included, are antsy for the good ol' days of Sandler, but at the very least -- anything he releases now is almost guaranteed to be better than Going Overboard.

I worked in a video store in the mid-nineties, when Happy Gilmore and The Waterboy were out. Going Overboard had the distinction of the one video in the store we would actively tell people NOT to rent.

This movie is dreadful BUT... it is kind of fun (well, almost) to see Sandler and longtime pal Allen Covert looking so young. Plus Sandler sings two songs on the soundtrack. :)
