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

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

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

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

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

Gags in the insipid sex comedy Boat Trip are both lame and crass, meaning you not only don't laugh but stifle groans.

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.

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.

As painful as you imagine it is.

I hope that, like Alive being shown on airplanes, Boat Trip is never shown on cruise ships. If it is, we might have several men overboard. Or at the very least, a mutiny.

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

Esta com�dia poderia at� funcionar como um esquete do Saturday Night Live (o que combinaria at� mesmo com o elenco), mas, como um longa de 94 minutos de dura��o, � 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.

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.
