Cuba oh Cuba....After Jerry Maguire, Men of Honor and Pearl Harbor et cetera comes Boat Trip. What is it about? For Cuba fans don't get your hopes too high.
Jerry Robinson (Cuba Gooding Jr.) is a pathetic guy who's just recently been dumped by his girlfriend Felicia after a disgusting incident while he's proposing to her on a hot air balloon. For six months Jerry has got nothing else to do except starring at his computer with Felicia (Vivica A. Fox) picture on it, until one day Jerry's horny-as-ever friend Nick Ragoni (Horatio Sanz) takes him on a singles cruise that hopefully will be crammed with lotsa and lotsa women. On their way to the travel agency, Nick gets into an argument with a man who turns out to be working at the same travel agency, and then Jerry and Nick are tricked to board on a gay cruise.
Jerry and Nick are unaware of the situation until they are already on board and the ship has long left the harbor. Now they have to find a way to adapt with the new community where they become the new love interests on that ship and where a single woman is nowhere to be found.
Okay, what do we have here..., nothing buy gay stuff, all over. But of course a movie like this will not be released without the obligatory presence of beautiful women, don't worry, they have figured out an irrational way to deliver these women in the middle of the ocean. Maybe the filmmakers already had a hunch, those women will be the life-savers of this movie.
Cuba Gooding Jr. performance in this film arguably may somehow ruin his acting career, in a sense that his acting is totally ridiculous, the kind that we would have never expected from a Cuba Gooding Jr.. He's acting still acceptable in Road Trip and he's quite funny too there, but in Boat Trip he's simply trying sooo hard to be funny and exaggerates things. Maybe we should congratulate Cuba for having a big heart to play any kind of role concerning one scene that force him to wear some kind of a bird dress from a festival in Brazil. Cuba has to work hard in his future films to get back on business.
Boat Trip is definitely not a date movie, definitely. Whether you're a guy or a woman, your date would surely be flabbergasted if you choose this movie. Hopefully there will be other "trip" movie in the future with better quality than this.
