I thought Cuba Gooding Jr. couldn't blow his Oscar cred more profligately than he did last year in the pandering black-guy-lost-among-white-folks comedy "Snow Dogs."
I was wrong.
In the titanically bad straight-guy-lost-among-homosexual-folks comedy "Boat Trip," Gooding plays Jerry, a glum galoot recently dumped by his girlfriend (Vivica A. Fox) who realizes only after the boat has sailed that the recuperative cruise he's embarked on with his boorish, skirt-chasing buddy Nick (Horatio Sanz) is for gay men. And had the ghost of Paul Lynde swanned by in a caftan-clad cameo, you couldn't find a more outdated, miscalculated collection of stale, queen-size stereotypes than those trotted out on this ship of fools.
Bless you, Lisa Schwarzbaum.
[Note: Let's be clear: there are plenty of weblogs you can visit to read people's views on the war. This ain't one of them. This place is the E! Channel to everyone else's CNN, and I'd like to keep it that way.]
