A different view on ‘Overboard’

-

I must have seen a different movie than Katie Walsh [“Remake Takes Unfunny Dive,” May 4]. I found the remake of “Overboard” fresh, funny and relevant.

It’s a mainstream Hollywood movie that is in Spanish more than 50% of the time, shows rich, welldresse­d Mexicans (not drug dealers, murderers or rapists) and working-class white people. Hopefully, Walsh’s review will not impact Los Angeles audiences. Latinos are grossly underserve­d by Hollywood. Julie Allan Los Angeles
