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

Quite good fun, I must say!

The movie is about two guys (Cuba Gooding Jr and Horatio Sanz) who go on a cruise hoping to have a lot of fun with girls. Unfortunately, it turns out to be a gay cruise. I watched the movie in spite of the poor ratings awarded at this site and Rotten Tomatoes too. Both sites seemed to rate it quite poorly. However, I was surprised to find that the movie is not bad at all. Quite enjoyable really - and not even gay-bashing or anything like that. I guess that you can't rely too much on opinions posted at sites like IMDb or Rotten Tomatoes or any other like that. You have to watch it for yourself and judge for yourself. It definitely did not deserve the extremely poor rating that it received at Rotten Tomatoes. I rate it 7 or 8 out of 10. I think that is quite fair, in my opinion.
