Hoping to get his mind off his ex-girlfriend Felicia, heart-broken Jerry decides to join his best friend Nick on a tropical singles cruise for a week of sun and possible romance. But when Jerry and Nick realize they've been accidentally booked on a gay cruise, all they can think of is jumping ship - that is, until Jerry falls head-over -heels for Gabriella, a gorgeous dance instructor who, after a string of bad boyfriends, has given up on love. Hoping to get past Gabriella's stalwart defenses, Jerry pretends to be gay- but matters get complicated when both Jerry and Gabriella start to feel the heat of mutual attraction. And when Felicia unexpectedly appears on board hoping to win her ex-boyfriend back, Jerry is suddenly faced with the decision of a lifetime…
Brimming with fresh laughs and winning performances from its knock-out cast, Boat Trip is a sexy, uninhibited romantic comedy about following your heart…no matter where it leads you. Also starring Lin Shaye (Dumb and Dumber, There's Something About Mary), Victoria Silvestedt and Roger Moore (Octopussy, For Your Eyes Only, A View To A Kill), Boat Trip will take you on the funniest, most unpredictable vacation ever, where true love is waiting where you least expect it.

Reviews for Boat Trip
Only Cuba Gooding Jr., the Olivier of his generation, could pull off such a daring commentary on modern manners.
Apart from my disappointment that Roger Moore didn't use any funny Bond-related lines (let's face it, "license to drill" or "for your eyes only" would have been hilarious coming out of his mouth), the movie more than exceeded my expectations.
It's a wigged-out Love Boat where anything goes, and you'll laugh as you see the characters take titanic turns along the way.
In a week when travesties like the Gwyneth Paltrow stewardess movie remind us that almost nobody in Hollywood remembers what the hell a comedy is, Boat Trip's skill and modest ambition inspire nostalgic reverence.
Whether you're gay or not, Boat Trip simply doesn't make a sea vacation look like very much fun.
Full credit for treading into the territory of raunchy sexual politics; zero credit for making anything of the opportunity.
Flouncing and preening, [Gooding] works hard to sell the movie's penile, puerile jokes, his strain so evident that it borders on sad.
In a time of war, our troubled nation yearns for fat guys telling fag jokes and black men dancing. Hollywood answers the call.
Funny moments, but few and far between...this cruise is all washed up before the ship ever leaves the harbor.
Boat Trip is largely full of unfunny gags, and nauseatingly perverse humor.
largely full of unfunny gags, and nauseatingly perverse humour. Just the mere sight of ex-007 prancing around in his pink shirt is a turn-off
Boat Trip isn't all that funny, but it's consistent, at least, in its relentless pursuit of idiocy.
