4/06: Being initially tripped with a lame start, Going Overboard was doing okay for a while, trying to be camp.

Then, it started to come apart at the seams in so many ways like I couldn't believe. Finally, I had seen enough to declare it as one of the worst films ever made. Going Overboard's place in the bottom 10 is firmly secure. I honestly don't know what the plot is about.

Rather, I've been annoyed by the look. The fact is one of the cameramen forgot the box of lenses prior to the trip, so they filmed the whole thing with the wrong ones because everybody had to stay on the cruise ship from New Orleans to Cancun.

Adam Sandler has publicly disowned the film ever since, having been reportedly embarrassed for being associated with it. A rumor has circulated around the Internet that he smeared a bed mattress with his feces during the filming. I only wished Adam Sandler's career never took off afterwards, so this way, none of his garbage comedies would exist.

All in all, I now know what it's like to be seasick.
