"I don't belong here, I feel it. Don't you think I feel it? I can't do any of these vile things, and I wouldn't want to. Oh, my life is like death. My children are the spawn of hell, and you're the devil. Oh, God..." - Joanna Stayton, aka Annie Proffitt

Why watch this? It's a good comedy film with two very attractive actors doing their thing.

Plot Summary: Carpenter Dean Proffitt builds a closet on the yacht of spoiled heiress Joanna Stayton, but she refuses to pay him. Joanna then falls overboard, loses her memory, and her husband abandons her at the hospital. Dean sees his chance for revenge and convinces Joanna that she is his wife and the mother of his four unruly boys.

Dad's Preview: When this devious little romantic comedy opened, Kurt and Goldie had been an item since 1983. This might explain the great chemistry between the two here. Their interactions keep the film interesting, and some of it is very funny. It's a fairly standard plot, where a rich woman loses her memory and goes literally from riches to rags. Now poor, she is manipulated to do wifely chores and control four of the worst brats imaginable. But hey, she was such a nasty rich bitch that we kind of enjoy the idea of her comeuppance. That said, it is still a bit twisted. Let's hope it all works out in the end.
