Review of Boat Trip

Boat Trip (2002)
7/10
Delivers on what it should
29 December 2003
This isn't a movie to watch if you are looking for drama, ,major character strife and dvelopment or huge bucket loads of romance. It delivers on precisely what it should, humor. I expected absolutely nothing but horrific performances from some of the actors, not the least of which was Horatio Sands. Amazingly I thought he did great work. A lot of half naked (and fully naked) women for a gay cruise, but I suppose that was to make sure even the most skeptical of men liked the movie. Roger Moore was hialrious. Cuba Gooding Jr was fantasitic as always. The humor was childish and base, but that is what I was looking for the night I watched this gem. All in all, a good mindless romp, and I think a better depiction of gay men in general. They were the most normal people in the movie. No emotional trauma, no slew of queens to fill you imagination with stereotypes. Some rather every day people who just happened to be gay. Excellent balance, and props to the producer/director/writers for accomplshing this. Base humor without insulting the majority of it's own characters.

bravo!
