Two guys looking for a respite from their bumpy romantic lives find themselves in the midst of a very confusing situation in this broad comedy. Jerry (Cuba Gooding Jr.) is a guy who thinks he's found ... read more read more...the love of his life in Felicia (Vivica A. Fox), his beautiful longtime girlfriend. Jerry decides to propose to Felicia, and arranges for a hot-air balloon ride in order to create the ideal setting to pop the question. However, Felicia not only turns him down, she announces that she's leaving him for another man. Jerry sinks into a deep depression, until his best friend Nick (Horatio Sanz), who has been having his own romantic problems, suggests they take a vacation cruise on an ocean liner, forgetting their troubles while they make time with bikini-clad babes. Jerry is game, but after an angry misunderstanding with a travel agent, Nick and Jerry discover they've been booked on a tour specifically for gay men. Jerry and Nick are forced to pose as lovers to ward off the indefatigable advances of aging playboy Lloyd (Roger Moore), which cramps their style when the ship's captain rescues a boatload of buxom Swedish swimsuit models. Jerry's spirits rise when he meets Gabriella (Roselyn Sanchez), a beautiful dancer who is part of the ship's entertainment staff. Jerry, however, now has to walk a fine line between maintaining his cover and convincing Gabriella that despite outward appearances, he's not gay. Boat Trip was the first feature film from director Mort Nathan, best known for his work as a writer for television. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    Movie for gays :|

    horrible, cuba, what happened to your career?

    Had almost forgotten about this little travesty. It seems to think it is breaking new ground by telling us how normal gay people are. After making loads of gay jokes of course, which only a minute percent of are funny. Gooding Jr, should have his Oscar taken away.

    Is this a movie played by an Oscar winner? I see it like an amateur actor just trying to have fun at all. Nothing better from this movie...

    By far one of the worst movies I've ever seen. 'Boat Trip' is charmless, immature, offensive, full of unfair stereotypes and low on laughs.

    Cuba Gooding, Jr. is a guy going through relationship problems and Horatio Sanz is his obnoxious, oversexed best pal who is trying to go away on a singles cruise hoping to get laid. They end up insulting their travel agent (cameo by Will Farrell) who sends them on a gay cruise ou... read moret of spite.

    Gorgeous Puerto Rican Beauty Roselyn Sanchez and the Swedish Sun Tanning Bikini team provide the much needed eye-candy to keep the interest of the males viewing.

    Roger Moore plays the British sophisticate interested in having Sanz take a bite of his sausage.His protrayal as an ancient "queen" is hilarious.

    Don't expect much in the way of story-line-- yes, it may be a bit stupid, vulgar, crude and corny at times, but stupid can be funny as well. What do you expect? It is a comedy so feel free to laugh out loud! It's a good movie to rent with your buddies if you like sunbathing, gay jokes, sexual innuendos and a risqué banana scene with Roselyn Sanchez showing Cuba how she can play, lick, nibble and kiss the lucky banana.

    Somebody please stop Cuba Gooding Jr. from making these movies, what happened to Cuba from A Few Good Men and Jerry Maguire. Just bad.
  • November 17, 2006
    Funny!
  • October 1, 2011
    One of Cuba's most underrated flicks. Roselyn Sanchez is sexy and beautiful as always (she's one of the top 2 best latina MILF along with Sofia Vergara of all-time) & Horatio Sanz is funny as always. This was a pretty funny movie."

    It was weird and funny. It was gay, and enormously funny at most times.

    This movie didn't seem to have a target audience though?

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

Richard Roeper

Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

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

Dennis Lim, Village Voice

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

Peter Howell, Toronto Star

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

Carla Meyer

Carla Meyer, San Francisco Chronicle

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

Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter

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

Tom Long, Detroit News

Cuba Gooding Jr. achieved fame by shouting 'Show me the money.' Obviously he was not acting.

There is no limbo contest on this ship, but you have to wonder: How low can Gooding go?

Roger Ebert

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

This is a movie made for nobody, about nothing. Full Review

Wesley Morris, Boston Globe

There has been some concern that Boat Trip, the new Cuba Gooding Jr.-Horatio Sanz comedy, might be harmful to gay men. This is not entirely true. Boat Trip is bad for everybody. Full Review
