Boat Trip

Boat Trip isn't a bad idea for a movie, 2 straight guys go on a cruise looking for love, only to find that its a gay cruise and all their fellow cruisers are men. Potentially this is a scenario that should have made us laugh ourselves silly; well i'm sorry to say that it doesn't, you may raise the occasional smile and if your lucky you may even titter once or twice, but that's your lot. Boat trip is average in every department and Cuba Gooding Jnr. should stick to making movies like Men of Honour and Instinct; he is simply better at playing this type of character. It's not a total waste of time, but it's certainly a disappointment 5/10

After being dumped by Vivica Fox, Cuba Gooding Jr. agrees to go on a boat cruise with Horatio Sanz. But after Sanz insults the travel agent's homosexual lover, they get booked on a gay cruise (Heavens to Betsy). This movie and I use they term loosely, wants to have it's frosting topped *-shaped cake and eat it too. Wants us to laugh both AT and with the gay men. It's similar to "Shallow Hal" in that way, but while "Shallow Hal" was pretty damn funny and a great movie overall, this one just lays placid. You MIGHT have a laugh here, and a nervous chuckle there, but all in all this movie blows. My Grade: D Where I saw it: Showtime

Jerry Robinson (Cuba Gooding Jr.) is a man in love, who intends to get married with Felicia (Vivica A. Fox). However, she says no to his proposal, and has an affair with the guy who cleans her BMW. With a broken heart, he accepts the invitation of his best friend Nick Ragoni (Horatio Sanz) to spend his vacation on board of a vessel in a cruise, where many women would be available for them along the trip. After a discussion in the travel agency, the agent send them to a cruise for gays only. In the beginning of the voyage, the passenger ship rescues a group of Swedish women in the sea. They are going to a dispute of tanned skin. Nick pretends he is gay, gets close to Inga (Victoria Silvstedt), a gorgeous and tall Swedish woman, and falls in love with her. Meanwhile, Jerry also pretends being a gay, to get closer to Gabriella (Roselyn Sanchez), the beautiful and sexy dance teacher on board, and also falls in love with her. Along the voyage, the two straight friends have unforgettable adventures and funny situations. Well, forgive me the purists, but this movie is very funny. It is very predictable, but it is impossible not to laugh of the situation where the characters of Cuba Gooding Jr. and Horatio Sanz gets involved with. Roselyn Sanchez is very sexy and beautiful, being an attraction for the viewers' eyes. Roger Moore is also great in a role of a gay, which does not fit with his profile. I laughed a lot and found it a very funny movie. A great entertainment, not recommended for intellectuals. My vote is seven. Title (Brazil): `Cruzeiro das Loucas' (`Cruise of the Gays')

I recently rented this film and all I have to say is that I was pleseantly surprised. The absurd facial expressions of Gooding, Jr. and Horatio Sanz, are a hillarity to the max (though there is a brief moment where Sanz does a Blutarski move, a salute to Beluschi). Roselyn Snachez is simply put hot, and the overall story line is comic, and reminiscent of the stupid B comedies of the 80's. This movie really is a gem, and the people who find it "dumb" and "pointless" don't see the real meaning behind the film, it is meant to be "dumb" and "pointless". It's hillarious, and the laughs just keep on coming. I gave this a 9/10, and yes I am buying the DVD.

I stumbled on this movie by pure accident and I had absolutely no idea what kind of movie it was before I saw it. As I didn't recognize the name of that movie, I guessed that it would be really bad flop, but the movie turned out to be a pleasant surprise. The movie is not a masterpiece, but I found it quite entertaining, relaxed and maybe even hilarious. And I guess it is really hard to make a comedy that people would consider a masterpiece. I will definitely show this film to my friends and I think this film can be enjoyed more than once. It is somewhat clumsy film, but mostly in a positive way. The movie had a lot of silly jokes based on different kind of stereotypes like swedes and gays, but I think it worked quite well. And in my opinion none of the stereotypes was done in offending way and all of the characters were likable - even the promiscuous, but a bit "blond" Swedish woman and her strict coach. At least as a gay I didn't find the movie homophobic or the gay stereotypes offensive at all, unlike some comments. I think that the movie could have been a bit better if it wouldn't have had that explicit "I guess gays might be OK" phrase and the stereotypes had been a bit nastier. And with a bit better directing the movie could have had better fluidity. But I can recommend the movie even though it wasn't flawless. I especially liked the performance of Cuba Gooding Jr. But some straight guys might find the movie boring or maybe a bit embarrassing even though the movie has some relatively good looking women and the main characters are straight. And of course not all people like this kind of comedies with adolescent and a bit tasteless humour.

After reading many reviews for this film I feared the worst... But after seeing this film I was pleasantly surprised... I'm gay myself so I thought I would be offended by this film, but I was not... It was all in good fun... For me personally I thought that Roger Moore was the best... His humour and style made this quite a special film... All in all it's not the best film I've ever seen, but it isn't the worst either... If you wanna have some laughs just go and see it...you will be pleasantly surprised too!

Well, I thought this movie was pretty funny. Two straight guys on a gay cruise. Which they don't know when they board. It's not exactly a masterpiece of a comedy. Cuba Gooding does what does best, plays around acting like an idiot. But in this scenery it works, he is kind of girly. Just don't expect to much of it, and it's quite enjoyable. When I went to see it didn't have any expectations, and ended of feeling good about myself (im not gay by the way, although it might sound like it). The swedish swimsuit team was a bit much though. It might have been funnier if they actually spoken swedish. But to summarize, it's a good movie to rent with your buddies!

What an incredible surprise this movie was. When I read the description about two guys going on a male "gay" cruise boat, it sounded totally unappealing to me. The fact that it was a gay cruise turned out to be very integral to the plot and made it most interesting. What caught my eye the most on this supposedly all male cruise, were the stunningly ravishing women on board - the sensational Roselyn Sanchez, the drop-dead gorgeous Victoria Silvstedt, and the rest of the tanned hotties. Right from the get go, there was hilarious laugh, after laugh, after laugh. I might add that the part played by Lin Shaye as Sonya the trainer, was comedic genius - if you like rowdy, sexual inclined humor, this movie does it for you!! This movie you will either love or hate, depends on your personality and character. If you're Mr. or Mrs. Politically Correct, you will surely demean this movie as one of the worst ever made, but if you flat out just like sophomoric, sexual fare - this is it!

OK. Here's the thing... I made the colossal mistake of renting Boat Trip. Well, my wife got it, but we're not here to lay blame. I come not to praise, but to bury this rancid, steaming pile of dreck. Nothing, and I mean nothing, can make this unholy, homophobic mess into anything remotely watchable. You know its a bad film when not even the outtakes are funny.Somewhere there is a film executive that for some reason known only to his alien masters, is hell-bent on casting Cuba Gooding Jr as a comedy star. Maybe they were looking for a little of that "Snow Dogs" magic to rub off. Although a magnificent dramatic actor, he has all the subtlety of Eddie "Rochester" Anderson. He rolls his eyes, screams like a woman, and plays drunk like a five-year-old showing how daddy behaved at Aunt Lurleen's wedding. Boat Trip was so bad that I was completely surprised that Adam Sandler wasn't in it. Anyone know how to get this smell out of my sofa?

BOAT TRIP is the kind of movie that has a good premise but remains under developed . A couple of horny young men sign up for a sex cruise but since they've annoyed the travel agent he gets his revenge by putting them on a gay cruise . Be honest there's all types of laugh out loud opportunities with this kind of plot but for some unknown reason laughs are few and far between No I take that back because the reason isn't unknown at all and is very obvious - There's a lack of credibility involved . The two protagonists Jerry and Nick are told by the travel agent that there's three girls for every boy , a ratio that would make The Beach Boys envious . So they go down to the harbour along with a bunch of well toned young men , walk around the cruise ship brag to each other what they're gonna be doing to all those hot chicks , visit the bar which is full of hunky young men who are not wearing much and only realise it's a gay cruise when Lloyd Faversham tells them . Considering Jerry and Nick were expecting a ship to have a 75% population of women it's impossible to believe they wouldn't have noticed something was up ( No jokes please )as soon as they set foot upon the ship . I know it's only a film but even so there's a distinct lack of credibility involved The gags themselves are unfunny and predictable and as soon as Nick asks : " Do you know where I can get off ? " you know that the punchline is going to be " yes try The Hole In One " . I couldn't help thinking that much of the potential humour was toned down because the producers didn't want to be accused of homophobia so we've got an entirely daft movie that both gay and straight people will dislike . Mind you no doubt the cast and production team enjoyed working on the movie . They spend several weeks filming on a cruise ship in the Med and they get paid for it ! Some people have all the luck unlike the audience for BOAT TRIP
