Going Overboard (1989)

Set sail on the ultimate low-budget comedy voyage with Going Overboard. Meet Schecky Moskowitz (Adam Sandler in his feature film debut), a desperate young aspiring stand-up comic who scores a lowly gig as a waiter on a luxury cruise ship hosting the Miss Universe pageant. As chaos unfolds with eccentric passengers, beauty contestants, and cartoonish threats on the high seas, Schecky bides his time, waiting for the microphone to finally launch his big break into the glamorous world of cruise-ship comedy. A fascinating, raw time-capsule artifact for comedy completists and super-fans, this scruffy cult classic captures an iconic superstar before he took over Hollywood.
