Going Overboard is a film released in 1989. It was the first starring role for Adam Sandler. It also features Burt Young, Allen Covert, Billy Zane, Terry Moore, Milton Berle, and a small role by Billy Bob Thornton. The movie frequently ranks very "high" on the IMDb Bottom 100. As of January 1, 2008, it is at #16 on this list.
Going Overboard was a low budget film, and the entire movie was filmed during a cruise going to the Miss Universe Pageant. The movie could be consider tongue-in-cheek as much of the humour is derived from the intentional tackiness of the film, such as when Adam Sandler's character states that the film "isn't a low-budget movie, but a no-budget movie!" The film could be considered a B-movie.
