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.

Full credit for treading into the territory of raunchy sexual politics; zero credit for making anything of the opportunity.

A puerile comedy so appalling and unfunny, it’s like contracting the Norwalk virus at sea. Twice.

Short of shooting every cast member in the foot, it would be hard to imagine how this so-called comedy could be any more lame.

Far too much of the film plays like a bad episode of "Three's Company," where assumptions and half-heard conversations reign and no one acts like a real human being.

There has been some concern that Boat Trip, the new Cuba Gooding Jr.-Horatio Sanz comedy, might be harmful to gay men. This is not entirely true. Boat Trip is bad for everybody.

Stale slapstick and predictable, raunchy sight gags (usually involving a banana).

Cuba Gooding Jr. is the kind of guy who does ten minutes of shtick every time the little light in the fridge comes on.

Esta comédia poderia até funcionar como um esquete do Saturday Night Live (o que combinaria até mesmo com o elenco), mas, como um longa de 94 minutos de duração, é irregular, cansativa e pouco original.

A movie about horny grownups [that] lacks the refinements of the lamest teen sex comedies of late.

'Of course' is what the viewer's much-aggrieved brain will be shrieking after each and every predictable plot turn.

Cuba Gooding Jr. achieved fame by shouting 'Show me the money.' Obviously he was not acting.
