Storyline

Jerry and Nick are two best buddies whose love lives have hit rock bottom, Jerry's especially, having just vomited all over his fiancée on a hot air balloon trip prior to proposing to her. To escape their troubles and find women, they book a trip on board a cruise-liner, unaware the travel agent has just played a horrid trick on them in retaliation for Nick offending his secret gay lover. And that's the trick; it's a gay cruise-liner for gay men to meet and mingle. Slowly but surely, the two main characters begin to realize this and in turn get into a lot of humorous predicaments.

User Reviews

Cuba's life analysis: he gets an Oscar for 'Jerry Maguire', then signs on to this silly, tasteless drivel

Boat Trip (2003) Cuba Gooding Jr., Horatio Sanz, Roselyn Sanchez, Vivica A. Fox, Maurice Godin, Roger Moore, Lin Shaye, Victoria Silvstedt, Ken Campbell, Zen Gesner, Richard Roundtree, Bob Gunton, Will Ferrell, D: Mort Nathan. Dim-witted, stereotypical folly of mistaken sexuality when two straight men looking for a vacation to score with lots of lonely women discover they were booked for an all-gay cruise. Oscar-winner Gooding, still likable, wallows in this uncomfortable and insulting farce, especially at one point dressed as a cabana drag queen (!). Every inch of this movie gives comedy a bad name. Directorial debut for Nathan. Filmed in 2001. Running Time: 94 minutes and rated R for strong sexual content, language, and some drug material. *
