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
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.
The most objectionable thing about this film is not its crude humor or its cartoonish stereotypes, but the fact that it actually tries to deliver a moral with its story.
Plenty of cheesecake and beefcake are served up, although after you've seen Jerry vomit on his fiancee... no one will have much of an appetite.
There are moments of genuine hilarity, but those are few in a movie that presents the potentially explosive subject of the uneasy relationship between gay and straight men, but then plays it as safe as any Afterschool Special.
Boat Trip goes down faster than the Titanic and is far more deserving of its fate.
'Of course' is what the viewer's much-aggrieved brain will be shrieking after each and every predictable plot turn.
A floundering combination of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and Some Like It Hot.
I can think of one thing worse than Boat Trip, and that would be drowning. But just barely.
Of course the heroes eventually learn to overcome their homophobia -- enabling the movie to safely revel in its own.
A gay-themed movie aimed squarely and exclusively at stupid straight people.
Full credit for treading into the territory of raunchy sexual politics; zero credit for making anything of the opportunity.
Unless their names are Frasier and Niles Crane, no men can survive such a shipwreck as this one.
A movie about horny grownups [that] lacks the refinements of the lamest teen sex comedies of late.
As for the three or four endings, none are as pathetic as watching Gooding Jr. putting another nail in his career coffin.
Boat Trip is largely full of unfunny gags, and nauseatingly perverse humor.
