Arrogant heiress Joanna Stayton (Goldie Hawn) lands herself in a heap of trouble when she falls overboard during a cruise with her husband. She is rescued by handyman Dean Proffitt (Kurt Russell), a single parent in desperate need of help with his four obnoxious kids, and as she has lost her memory, is in no position to object when he claims her as his wife. Directed by Garry Marshall ('Pretty Woman', 'Runaway Bride'). From the Back Cover It's the craziest mix-up ever! Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell dazzle the screen in this buoyant and screwball comedy of memory-making and memory-taking. One of Hollywood's most dynamic screen pairs, Hawn and Russell make the most of every hilarious situation in this delightful riches to rags romance that's perfect entertainment for anyone who appreciates a good practical joke. Hawn is Joanne Stayton, the pampered wife of a pretentious, yacht-owning socialite. When their boat gets stuck for repairs, Joanna employs carpenter Dean Proffitt (Russell) to improve her closet space. But when Dean asks to be paid, he's blatantly turned down by "nothing-is-ever-good-enough-for-me" Joanna. So when Joanna falls overboard and gets a bad case of amnesia, Dean takes advantage of the situation and, in a stroke of retributive genius, tells her that she's his wife and the mother of his unruly children.
