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.

Like a bad TV sitcom, the cruise ship plucks a stranded Swedish sun-tanning team from the ocean to comply with Hollywood’s current unofficial cleavage quotient.

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

It also has one of the most lame plots in the history of lame plots.

Only Cuba Gooding Jr., the Olivier of his generation, could pull off such a daring commentary on modern manners.

[Gooding's] performance here isn't as energetic as it is desperate.

Pablo Villaca

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.

No one comes off worse than Cuba Gooding, Jr., whom the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences could sue for defamation had the movie’s advertisements put 'Academy Award winner' before his name.

Matt Easterbrook

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.

If Boat Trip were a skin disease, you'd have whatever limb it was found on amputated at the base.

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

This is a tasteless and tacky farce laced with cheap homophobic jokes and cringe-inducing stereotypes ...

Poor Cuba Gooding Jr. After his surprising and deserving Oscar win in Jerry Maguire, his career has gone absolutely nowhere.

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