Going Overboard is a film released on May 11, 1989. It was Adam Sandler's first staring role, It 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 August 2009, it is at #71 on this list.
The production was shot entirely on a cruise ship going from New Orleans to Cancun. The ship was going to the Miss Universe Pageant and was filled with beauty queens from all over the United States. The camera crew forgot to bring a box of lenses on the ship, so the director of photography was forced to shoot with the wrong lenses
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 considered tongue-in-cheek as much of the humor 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!"
