Boat Trip (2002) 8/10

Starring : Cuba Gooding Jr, Horatio Sanz, Roselyn Sanchez, Vivica A Fox, Roger Moore, Lin Shaye, Victoria Silvstedt
Director : Mort Nathan
Running Time : mins

When Jerry (Gooding) breaks up with his girlfriend Felicia (Fox), his best friend Nick (Sanz) decides that they should both go on the prowl and meet some new women, specifically by going on a boat trip which, according to Nick, is guaranteed to get them laid but, due to a vindictive mix-up by their travel agents, they end up on a gay cruise where the only woman on board is Gabriella (Sanchez), the events co-ordinator, who Jerry instantly falls for : only there's one problem... she thinks he's gay!

Despite some of the reviews this movie has received, I thought it was so unbelievably crass and stereotypical that it became hilarious. Gooding is scarely believable in his camp persona, whilst Sanz womanising character gives many a moment of mirth. Also look out for Roger Moore cmaping it up to the nth degree.
