Summary

RATING: R for strong sexual content, language and some drug material

A sexy, uninhibited romantic comedy about following your heart…no matter where it leads you. (MPCA)

75

The Globe and Mail (Toronto) Ray Conlogue

If this rings distant Laurel-and-Hardy, or even Crosby-and-Hope bells, it's on purpose. Gooding's and Sanz's performances are almost a tribute to vaudeville-influenced two-guy comedy.

Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas

Boat Trip is happily a no-holds-barred, all-out farce in which zany complications escalate rapidly and continually.

Boston Globe Wesley Morris

Even 007 is a big old queen. Yes, Roger Moore's on board as a lusty codger, who, unlike the rest of us, can't get enough of Sanz.

The Onion (A.V. Club) Nathan Rabin

Has an agreeable air of anything-goes vulgarity, which is so transcendentally idiotic that it's impossible to tell whether the film is a brilliant, deadpan parody of raunchy lowbrow farces from the '70s and '80s, or one of the stupidest, most regressive films ever made. Or, more likely, it's a little of both.

Baltimore Sun Chris Kaltenbach

Relentless in its crudity, so indiscriminate in its pursuit of tasteless laughs, so pure in its determination to offend, one almost has to admire it. It's even funny. Sometimes.

Film Threat Clint Morris

Similar to one of those smutty 80s comedies, Boat Trip is a Farrelly brothers like gross-out with a homophobic entwine.

USA Today Mike Clark

The only thing a movie this unrefined needs is a vaudevillian in baggy pants and someone hawking peanuts in the aisle.

New York Post Megan Lehmann

Fairly cringe-inducing, full of witless double-entendres and the requisite "gags" involving bodily fluids.

33

Seattle Post-Intelligencer Ellen A. Kim

Doesn't even fall in the lowbrow-but-entertaining comedy category. It's unabashedly dumb and pathetically offensive.

Washington Post Michael O'Sullivan

If this garbage sounds like your kind of thing, and the folks who jump up and talk back to the screen are your kind of people, then, sweetheart, you and this movie deserve each other.

Christian Science Monitor David Sterritt

This boatload of clichés is strenuously unfunny.

New York Daily News Jami Bernard

Cuba Gooding Jr. can just return his "Jerry Maguire" Oscar right now. He has no excuse for making Boat Trip, a perniciously unfunny comedy.

San Francisco Chronicle Carla Meyer

An unfunny fish-out-of-water comedy.

Miami Herald Connie Ogle

Not that the film is so horrendously offensive -- it's almost, and I hesitate to say this, too stupid to provoke insult -- but it's juvenile enough to suck a few IQ points out of any audience member with a brain cell.

Chicago Tribune Patrick Z. McGavin

Technically it does not qualify as one of the worst American-made movies ever. It only feels that way. The movie's offenses are too numerous to catalog.

Salon.com Charles Taylor

It is a testament to our national determination that Nathan is not stymied by his almost complete lack of talent, his slipshod timing or his crude comic sensibility.

Chicago Reader J.R. Jones

Cuba Gooding Jr. is the kind of guy who does ten minutes of shtick every time the little light in the fridge comes on, and for years I've been waiting for him to just go away. If this dud comedy is any indication of the scripts he's getting, I may not have to wait much longer.

LA Weekly Dan Fienberg

Cuba Gooding Jr.'s unrelenting energy can be galvanic in good films, but in lesser efforts it reeks of frenzied futility.

TV Guide Maitland McDonagh

It's hard to imagine who would find this funny.

Portland Oregonian Chris Hewitt

It's a lame, gender-mixed, mistaken-identity, cross-dressing comedy: "Some Like It Tepid," if you will.

Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert

Not that the film is outrageous. That would be asking too much. It is dim-witted, unfunny, too shallow to be offensive.

The New York Times A.O. Scott

If Boat Trip were screened on a cruise ship, most of the passengers would be dog-paddling back to shore.

Variety David Rooney

Washout. Lacking the mojo even to be offensive in its stereotypical view of gays and women, this excruciating cocktail of sitcom plotting and gross-out humor makes a clunky cheesefest like "The Love Boat" look like breezy, sophisticated fun.

Washington Post Rita Kempley

A smutty, imbecilic farce.

Wall Street Journal Joe Morgenstern

This comedy is harmless, too, when measured against the vast array of harms that the world has to offer. It's also stupid, strident, witless, pitifully inept and bad for what ails you.

Village Voice Dennis Lim

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

Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum

Had the ghost of Paul Lynde swanned by in a caftan-clad cameo, you couldn't find a more outdated, miscalculated collection of stale, queen-size stereotypes than those trotted out on this ship of fools.

Austin Chronicle Marrit Ingman

There are bad movies, and there’s Boat Trip, a puerile comedy so appalling and unfunny, it’s like contracting the Norwalk virus at sea.

Cuba Gooding Jr. deserves to be stripped of his Oscar for this incompetent mess.

Daniel R gave it a10:
I love this movie Cuba Gooding and Horatio Sanz were Fantastic together......Hilarious.

Islam B. gave it a2:
I tough it was really bad a waste of Cuba's talents which made me feel really bad for him.It wasn't funny and the gay element in it was just plain dumb it doesnt promote or demote gay's it just want's to try to make a point but sadly can't.

Elizabeth B. gave it a10:
I think it was a hilarious movie and I liked it.

Raul M. gave it a 10:
This was one of the best comedies I have ever seen....it's so Hilarious!!

Robbie P. gave it a 1:
This film is not only bad, it sends me into a rage. Beneath the thin veneer of comedy is more homophobia and misogyny. Guys listen up, if you have problems because women and gays are starting to make gains in the world, work it out in a therapists office -- not on screen. If I see one more film about stupid heterosexuals trying to pass them selves off as gay just to get laid--I'm going to start taking hostages.

Stacy W. gave it a 9:
I loved this movie! I rented it but I am gonna go buy it. I could watch it over and over. I thought Cuba was as adorable as ever.
