If you loved Overboard, try The Princess Diaries
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Garry Marshall, and they both carry the cozy, playful mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Overboard, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Princess Diaries is
Even royals start as awkward teens in this transformation fantasy. A 15-year-old overachiever learns she's heir to a tiny European principality and must choose between tiaras and tracksuits. The makeover montage offers more drama than the constitutional monarchy.
