chapter11 [ 1.5 ]

Dire comedy wishes to preach a nicely wrapped tolerance message, but expects us to stomach it after force-feeding the audience shovelfuls of over-the-top, stereotypically gay behavior. It takes every negative and theatrical cliche made about the gay community, and presents gays as singularly adhering to that cliche (or those cliches, as "Boat Trip" conveniently provides us with an endless barrage of them). The film also expects us to believe at our "heroes," Cuba Gooding Jr. and Horatio Sanz, had no idea that they were going on a gay cruise until hours after they left port-- even as they walked through a dizzying line-up of every manner of stereotypically homosexual male possible. I kind of wish they had noticed, then they could've gotten off the boat and the film wouldn't feel inclined to parade every manner of swishy, super-dramatic uber-homosexual by us and then negate all of their stereotyping by preaching a tidy, PC, peace-on-earth-goodwill-towards-gays moral. Throw in the fact that, despite the magnetic Roselyn Sanchez, it's JUST NOT FUNNY, and "Boat Trip" turns out to be more of a boat wreck.
