Review
Unfunny and without a brain in its head, Boat Trip is yet another embarrassing notch in Cuba Gooding Jr.'s post-Oscar career. A complete mess from beginning to end, this one fails at every level (and not even in a so-bad-it's-good kind of way). From the script all the way to the performances, it seems no one ever stopped to think about what kind of dreck they were making. The plot is ludicrous enough, but when matched with the utterly amazing lack of humor, it comes close to becoming bad filmmaking art. As if on an out-of-control train, the cast try everything they can to save this sucker, but little do they know how much worse they're making things. Cuba's still in his overacting ham mode the entire time, while Horatio Sanz runs around yelling and screaming about how he's not gay (which ends up figuring into one of the worst plot twists of the film). With nightmarish attempts at gross-out comedy to double-entendres popping up virtually every other line, Boat Trip tests even the most hardened bad movie lover. When it comes down to it, if it's offensive to the gay population in any way (which for most, it was, considering the backlash -- which ends up being ironic since most of the gay characters in the film are the strongest overall), it's equally just as repellant to the rest of the movie-going audience that has to endure it. When done right, a movie can be outlandish, but still funny at the same time -- when done wrong, it becomes personally disgraceful and sloppy at the very best. Interesting only in it's blatant flaws, Boat Trip should've been sunk long before it hit the theaters. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, All Movie Guide

Synopsis
Two guys looking for a respite from their bumpy romantic lives find themselves in the midst of a very confusing situation in this broad comedy. Jerry (Cuba Gooding Jr.) is a guy who thinks he's found the love of his life in Felicia (Vivica A. Fox), his beautiful longtime girlfriend. Jerry decides to propose to Felicia, and arranges for a hot-air balloon ride in order to create the ideal setting to pop the question. However, Felicia not only turns him down, she announces that she's leaving him for another man. Jerry sinks into a deep depression, until his best friend Nick (Horatio Sanz), who has been having his own romantic problems, suggests they take a vacation cruise on an ocean liner, forgetting their troubles while they make time with bikini-clad babes. Jerry is game, but after an angry misunderstanding with a travel agent, Nick and Jerry discover they've been booked on a tour specifically for gay men. Jerry and Nick are forced to pose as lovers to ward off the indefatigable advances of aging playboy Lloyd (Roger Moore), which cramps their style when the ship's captain rescues a boatload of buxom Swedish swimsuit models. Jerry's spirits rise when he meets Gabriella (Roselyn Sanchez), a beautiful dancer who is part of the ship's entertainment staff. Jerry, however, now has to walk a fine line between maintaining his cover and convincing Gabriella that despite outward appearances, he's not gay. Boat Trip was the first feature film from director Mort Nathan, best known for his work as a writer for television. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Customer Reviews

I love this movie
Okay, first of all, this movie doesn't make fun of homosexuals! If you look closely, the homosexual characters are actually the strongest, and the main characters just weak in comparison. The type of humor might not be for everyone, but I loved the fact that this movie has such a great take on homosexuality. And let's face it, it was funny. I loved watching this and would gladly watch it again. People should be a bit more layed back about this movie. Just because it has gay characters doesen't mean it insults them. It's a great movie, great fun and it's definitely worth watching.

This had me laughing hard
Cuba Gooding Jr is such a talented actor, he did good in this movie.

Horatio Sanz hasn't done much that I've scene but hes pretty good too in Boat Trip

Roselyn Sanchez is soooo hot...enuff said! :D

This is a really funny movie unless you take offence to jokes that poke fun of homosexuals. This 1 isn't for me to add to my DVD archive but definatly worth watching at least once.

Not impressed.
The only reason I gave this movie three stars is because James Bond, aka, Roger Moore portrays a homosexual.

Priceless.

All in all, I was not impressed. I usually love Cuba Gooding, Jr. but in this film I felt his acting was a bit contrived.

You're welcome.
