Editor's Note
Jerry (Cuba Gooding Jr.) and Nick (Horatio Sanz) are a couple of horny heterosexual buddies who mistakenly embark on a gay-singles cruise in this lewd comedy. Felicia (Vivica A. Fox) is the girlfriend who dumps Jerry, causing him to accompany his abrasive pal Nick on what they both think will be a voyage packed with hot single women. By the time they realize their mistake, the ship is already out to sea. Over-the-top shock and repulsion eventually subsides with the arrival of some timely hetero intervention: the ship's sole female employee, Sidney (Roselyn Sanchez), comes to Jerry's rescue, and Nick lucks out with the sudden arrival of a castaway Swedish female suntanning team. Alas, Jerry has to pretend to be gay to keep Sidney's trust, and the sex-starved Swedes are guarded by their strict (but even hornier) lesbian coach. Pratfalls and prancing ensue, making BOAT TRIP a voyage to hilarity. Of the cast members, Sanchez stands out in a performance that's both warmly human and sexy, while Roger Moore steals the show in an amusing riff on his James Bond persona. Will Ferrell soars to new comedic heights as the mischievous travel agent.
