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.

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.

Reviews for Boat Trip
Only Cuba Gooding Jr., the Olivier of his generation, could pull off such a daring commentary on modern manners.
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.
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.
In a week when travesties like the Gwyneth Paltrow stewardess movie remind us that almost nobody in Hollywood remembers what the hell a comedy is, Boat Trip's skill and modest ambition inspire nostalgic reverence.
Whether you're gay or not, Boat Trip simply doesn't make a sea vacation look like very much fun.
Full credit for treading into the territory of raunchy sexual politics; zero credit for making anything of the opportunity.
Flouncing and preening, [Gooding] works hard to sell the movie's penile, puerile jokes, his strain so evident that it borders on sad.
In a time of war, our troubled nation yearns for fat guys telling fag jokes and black men dancing. Hollywood answers the call.
Funny moments, but few and far between...this cruise is all washed up before the ship ever leaves the harbor.
largely full of unfunny gags, and nauseatingly perverse humour. Just the mere sight of ex-007 prancing around in his pink shirt is a turn-off
Boat Trip is largely full of unfunny gags, and nauseatingly perverse humor.
Boat Trip isn't all that funny, but it's consistent, at least, in its relentless pursuit of idiocy.
A floundering combination of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and Some Like It Hot.
