Don't mess with?, August 2, 2005
Boat Trip,the comedy movie,is the story of two guys who want to have fun and meet girls on their cruise trip ,but they make a huge mistake when they go to buy the tickets,they argue with the man who is a ticket agency.
So he,the ticket agency,persecutes them by give them another trip's tickets that is a gay cruise trip.At first,they do not know that they are on a gay cruise,but afterwards they know.They have to stay with gays through the trip.
The movie tries to joke with how gays flirt and how they act,and it works.That is not the way to despise gays but to play with them.It also shows anyone can be friends ,despite they are gays or not.
I recommend that people who want to relax and have fun should see this movie because it has nothing to make you stress.
So,I would like to rate 4 from 5 for this movie.

Awful, November 24, 2003
What happens when a recently dumped straight man and his oafish best friend accidently find themselves on a gay cruise? A big mess. "Boat Trip" is one of the worst films I've ever seen. Filled with crude sexual humor and goofy sight gags, "Boat Trip" is rarely funny and often offensive. Apparently, the makers of this film were trying to cash in on the recent explosion of gay culture in the media, but after watching this film I have a funny feeling that the writers have never even met an actual gay person. Tired and ridiculous stereotypes are all this film really has to offer. Charming Cuba Gooding Jr. and sexy 'n sassy Vivca A. Fox should fire their agents immediately.

Good For A Laugh Or Two, March 27, 2005
Well, a movie that shamelessly plays into every conceivable gay stereotype and cliche has got to be annoying, even offensive, doesn't it? That was my first impression when I started watching BOAT TRIP, but as the film moved along, and meandered through a bad script and over-the-top slapstick physical comedy, I found myself chuckling, then, of all things, actually laughing. It became apparent that BOAT TRIP never, ever, had any intention of taking itself seriously, so why the heck should the viewer?
The plot is lame, but still entertaining: Jerry (Cuba Gooding Jr.), distraught over being dumped by his girlfriend, and his pal, Nick (Horatio Sanz), decide to "score" by booking a cruise. Problem is, it's a gay cruise--much to the shock and horror of the two buds. And of course, every conceivable gay stereotype is then trotted out for the viewer; some of it bombs, some of it (the gay poker players) is downright funny. And then Jerry finds himself falling in love with the only woman (at the time) on the ship, dance instructor Gabriella (played by a wonderfully hot Roselyn Sanchez). Problem is, Gabriella is fed up with hetero men, and longs to seduce a gay man, so Jerry must pretend to be gay (leading to even more absurdity, yet Gooding manages to pull the zaniness off).
Gooding and Sanchez do well with what they have to work with, while Sanz is an annoying John Belushi wannabe. Other cast members include a very creepy Roger Moore, and sensational Playboy playmate Victoria Silverstedt. Will Ferrell even makes a brief, over-the-top appearance. No, BOAT TRIP is probably a movie I won't take the time to watch again, but it has its fluid, laughable moments. Hey, how can a film featuring the Swedish Suntanning Team be a dud?
