'' On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 42 out of 100, based on reviews from 26 critics, indicating `` mixed or average reviews ''. Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` A -- '' on an A+ to F scale, while PostTrak reported filmgoers gave it an 83 % overall positive score. Variety 's Owen Gleiberman wrote, `` Overboard has been made with enough bubbly comic spirit and skill that the gender switch turns out to be a smart move, from both an entertainment and commercial vantage. '' Conversely, Johnny Oleksinski of the New York Post wrote `` Hollywood is n't just churning out crummy remakes of great films anymore -- now it 's doing awful remakes of mediocre films. For evidence, see Overboard. Or, rather, do n't. '' References Jump up ^ Busch, Anita ( July 20, 2017 ). `` Eugenio Derbez 's ' Overboard ' Remake Gets Release Date From Pantelion Films ''.
