Change the boat to a bowling alley and I'll fund it myself. And have a couple of hot waitresses in the bar.

A remake of "Over the Top", but with leg wrestling instead of arm wrestling.

Make this movie.

This movie sounds like a work of genius.

I'd rather see a remake of "Overboard", but with leg wrestling instead of Goldie Hawn.

Kerble, you are a genius.
Well, in the Hollywood sense of the word.

Are you ready to be rich beyond your wildest dreams?

-A

I guess I should have kept reading through the thread. now it looks like I just reiterated the fact the Kerble is a genius. Although, can you really say that too many times?

I always thought that amazing mini-golf course in Overboard should gotten more screen time.

"Marty, the Milliner" - a story of a young man who goes to work for an independent hatmaker.

Hilarity ensues when the boss asks Marty to make not a hat, but a CAP. Marty refuses this assignment, stating plainly that "I should like not to."

Prospective leads: Hilary Swank as "Marty" and Werner Klemperer as "The Boss."

These three loser guys (I'm thinking David Cross, Brian Posehn and Patton Oswalt) are walking by an alley, they hear this sound coming from a dumpster. They look inside and they see a baby. They stand around for 5 minutes or so freaking out and acting like spazzes before they decide to take the baby to their home. They aren't smart enough to call the cops and report it so they start taking care of the baby themselves. As I'm sure you can imagine, much hilarity ensues. Should be a good diaper changing scene or two in there. I'm thinking baby diarrhea eruption.

I'm not sure whether or not I should bring the mother in as a source of conflict because that seems kind of too expected.

I'm also not sure if the baby should talk or not.
On the plus side, everyone loves movies with talking babies.
On the negative side, talking babies is due to be played out any day now.
I guess timing is the real factor here.

I call it, "Three Men and A Dumpster Baby".

CGI Jack Black's head on a toddler's body. Kevin Bacon spends the entire movie trying to seduce and molest the preternaturally precocious, wisecracking, hyper-mugging youngster, who's always one step ahead of the wicked yet lovable pedophile. They're in constant contact because naturally Bacon is the janitor at an orphanage.

You need a subplot to add warmth and to ease the horror of pedophilia, so Kevin Bacon's clueless ex-wife, played by Renee Zellweger, is barren. Upon meeting the proto-Black, she instantly falls in love with the tyke and launches an all-out effort to adopt him. Hilarity ensues and all three are united by the end of the movie, with the integrity of Black's asshole a big, enticing question mark, inviting a blockbuster sequel.

Okay, okay, sounds like a go. But this baby is gonna need a clever title. Davey, Steve-o, stay with me now. Since we're dealing with a bowling alley here [puts up hands in "goalpost" gesture with all fingers up, pans hands apart]...70-10 Split. You see, the three men are probably around 70 and, well, you get the picture. We've got something here. Fellas, let's make this happen.
