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.

A supposedly gay-themed film made for people with an adolescent obsession with boobs and the egotistical sense that all gay men are hot for them (mostly evidenced by guys who wouldn't be cruised in Portsmouth on a pay night).

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

The best I can say of this sinking ship is that it’s an equal opportunity offender: there’s something here to infuriate you whether you’re a heterosexual, homosexual, black, white, Hispanic, Swedish, Swiss, aristocrat, Joe Sixpack, disco diva, war veteran

The sort of comedy your Uncle Marty might like, if Uncle Marty is the sort of geezer who lives in a hovel and numbs his pain with beer and porn.

The movie improves immeasurably if you visualize a looming iceberg in the corner of the frame.

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.

"Boat Trip" should be towed away on a garbage scow.

Boat Trip never makes the effort to establish anything original.

Is it really going out on the limb by observing that co-writer/director Mort Nathan’s monotonous romantic comedy Boat Trip is enough to make a starfish seasick? One might have to consider abandoning this ship of fools—and be quick about it

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

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?

You'd have to go back to 'Gilligan's Island' to find an equally bad comedic shipwreck...leaves no leering or vulgar gag unused and no stereotype unexplored in its search for cheap laughs.

This movie is so bland, I can't even bring myself to completely trash it with a one-star spike.

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

If there was ever a cinematic vessel that deserved hitting an iceberg and sinking before it hit theaters and subjected viewers to one of the worst comedies in years, if not decades, this is it.

Flouncing and preening, [Gooding] works hard to sell the movie's penile, puerile jokes, his strain so evident that it borders on sad.
