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.

Rated: R [See Full Rating] for strong sexual content, language and some drug material

Runtime: 1 hr 37 mins

Genre: Comedies

Theatrical Release:Mar 21, 2003 Wide

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

A gay-themed movie aimed squarely and exclusively at stupid straight people.

Only once during the 95 minutes of Boat Trip did I laugh, and that was in response to my own joke while writing the review of this pathetic loser of a film.

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.

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

This abysmally unfunny 'romp' is so forced and strained that it's painful to watch.

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

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.

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

Boat Trip never makes the effort to establish anything original.

Funny moments, but few and far between...this cruise is all washed up before the ship ever leaves the harbor.

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

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.
