This movie wishes so hard that it could be The Birdcage but it just falls kind of flat.After being dumped by his girlfriend (Vivica A. Fox), nice guy Jerry (Cuba Gooding, Jr.) gets talked into going on a singles cruise by his idiotic man-child friend Nick (Horatio Sanz). Unfortunately, Nick manages to piss off their travel agent (Will Ferrell) and gets them booked on a Gay Singles Cruise. Things quickly look up for Jerry, however, as he starts seeing the cruise dance instructor, Gabriella (Rosalyn Sanchez). Meanwhile, Nick manages to accidentally shoot down a helicopter full of Swedish tanning models and spends the majority of his time trying to get past their overenthusiastic coach (Lin Shaye) so he can hump their legs like a slobbering mutt.
The movie is filled with the same worn-out, trite gay stereotypes as every other movie like this from the 90's and early 00's. It almost pulls its head out of its ass via a change-of-heart from homophobic Nick but there's nothing that could save this from being tired old drag. Not even Cuba Gooding, Jr. dancing in a gold fishnet top and briefs wearing sparkly platform boots.
There. Now I've spared you from having to see the actual movie.
