Reviews Counted:87

Fresh:6

Rotten:81

Average Rating:2.6/10

Consensus: Boat Trip is a lame, juvenile farce that's heavy on stereotypes and desperate antics but short on brains and laughs.

Runtime: 1 hr 37 mins

Genre: Comedies

US Box Office: $8,525,095

Synopsis: 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... 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.

Lacks laughs, wit or any sense of intelligence.

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.

A lame, gender-mixed, mistaken-identity, cross-dressing comedy.

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.

A lot of movies aim for the lowest common denominator. Boat Trip is merely low.

It's one of those movies you experience with dropped jaw, wondering what the hell the filmmakers thought they were doing and how desperate could the actors have been to agree to be in it?

The most obvious mistake [the film] makes is having Nick and Jerry figure out they're on a gay cruise almost immediately.
