Friends Jerry Robinson and Nick Ragoni book a trip on a cruise ship . Since they had recently argued with the travel agent, he sells them a special gay trip without informing Jerry and Nick.
The friends only notice the mistake on the ship. Jerry gets closer to the dance teacher Gabriella. The English nobleman Lloyd Faversham, who has a submissive disposition, falls in love with Nick.
A group of Swedish women athletes are rescued from the water. Nick tries to get closer to the women. However, he always comes across the elderly but well-built coach of the team, who finds him increasingly attractive.
A break occurs between Jerry and Gabriella. Gabriella gets a job on a special lesbian cruise . Faversham, a former SAS officer, takes him to the ship by plane. Faversham and Jerry parachute off and land on the ship. Gabriella forgives Jerry and kisses him. A lesbian woman present said she couldn't understand. Faversham replies that he cannot understand either.
Reviews
Claudia Puig wrote in USA Today on March 20, 2003 that the film was a "trifling atrocity". His humor is "as subtle as a mudslide"; the film has been compared to the comedy Crazy About Mary in this regard .
Kevin Thomas wrote in the Los Angeles Times on March 21, 2003 that the film was "hilarious". He praised the performances by Cuba Gooding Jr. and Horatio Sanz, the direction and the script.
The television magazine TV Spielfilm said: "Ex-Bond Roger Moore gets some laughs as an aging queen, the rest of the team should sink into the deep sea in shame."
The lexicon of international films wrote: "A sloppily staged comedy that is only interested in superficial and obscene slapstick, which should bore even the targeted young target group with the accumulation of antiquated gay jokes."
Awards
Cuba Gooding Jr. and Mort Nathan were nominated for the Golden Raspberry in 2004.
