"Overboard" Remake in the Works? Hollywood, Please Be Careful!

  Most of the time, I'm okay with remakes of B-list movies that are at least 20 years old.  But this time, Hollywood might be going too far.  Many of you have probably never even heard of the 1987 Goldie Hawn-Kurt Russell comedy Overboard.  Let me tell you, you're missing out.  Although I'll rarely put the  DVD in, Overboard is the kind of movie where I find myself quoting its lines in everyday situations, and I'm ecstatic every time I discover that it's playing on TV.  Goldie Hawn delivers each line with such perfectly dry humor that I can't see anyone rivaling it, least of all Jennifer Lopez, aka J. Lo, who is in talks to star as the rich snob who gets amnesia and is tricked into thinking she's the wife of a carpenter, who wants revenge for her rudeness.  It's not that I don't like J. Lo (I admit, I will watch Monster-in-Law and Enough pretty much anytime they're playing on TBS), it's just that Goldie was so great that I have a hard time seeing any actress equal her performance--especially "Jenny from the Block." I guess it would be too similar to the original to have Goldie's daughter, Kate Hudson, take over the role.  But let's face it, she is her mother's daughter--she'd be perfect.  No word yet as to what actor will take over Kurt Russell's role, but the casting crew better put some serious effort into finding someone who will have as much on-screen chemistry with J. Lo as Russell did with Hawn--they were, after all, a couple in real-life as well.  So please Hollywood, don't ruin this 80's classic for me.  You have some very big shoes to fill, so make sure J. Lo can actually pull off the uptight, rich-bitch snobbishness: "I'm not a bitch. ANDREW! Are you going to bring me my lemon or do I have to squeeze it from my hat?"


How do you feel about an Overboard remake?  Should J. Lo be cast, or is there someone better?  Who would you cast as Dean?
