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.

"...Writer-director Mort Nathan and his co-writer William Bigelow take an affectionate tone while working up lots of outrageous and raunchy dialogue and situations..." 03/21/2003 p.C4L.A. Times 6 of 10
Boat Trip is happily a no-holds-barred, all-out farce in which zany complications escalate rapidly and continually. The filmmakers by and large get away with all the raunchiness they serve up, and amid all the mayhem Jerry and Nick experience an unexpected sense of liberation through their contacts with the gay passengers. - Kevin Thomas
Chicago Sun-Times 2 of 10
One of the movie's problems is a disconnect between various levels of reality. Some of the scenes play as if they are intended to be realistic. Then Jerry or Nick go into hysterics of overacting. Then Jerry attempts to signal a helicopter to rescue him, and shoots it down with a flare gun. Then it turns out to be carrying the Swedish Sun-Tanning Team, on its way to the Hawaiian Tropics finals. Then Jerry asks Gabriela to describe her oral sex technique, which she does so with the accuracy and detail of a porn film, and then Jerry--but that pathetic moment you will have to witness for yourself. Or maybe you will not. - Roger Ebert
