What makes it different from others?

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Honestly, why did they make a documentary about mostly gays guys whose family/religion doesn't accept (maybe that's the reason they go on a gay cruise, but still they are repressed as if they were in main land) Mostly ppl who scaped their country to some European place cuz being gay was a torture in their homeland, which is something gay people deal with (I know, I am gay) But all this movie doe sis showing how gay people act when they're at outside the laws, like their only purpose is to find someone with great abs, sexy bearded face, otherwise, they are not worth it Real gay people as not as shallow (at least I want to believe that), we don't go from cruise to cruise to find our best sex experience which might or might not be the love of our lives All this movie makes is showing gays from many cultures/problems (handicap, fat, ugly, not tanned enough, old) everything that society sees as a homophobe facts is represented here, as if all gay people are so damn selfish Take my advice, even if you live in a homophobe country and want to feel connected to people with the same traumas, stay away from this, this is the worst example of how a gay person is...a person

It's hard to watch a bunch of guys in elaborate party drag walking down a narrow, brightly lit cruise ship's corridor underscored by a sad, Debussy-like piano soundtrack.There is a lot of this almost clinical detachment about what is being observed. Enough so that activities--which were probably a lot of fun for most of the participants--look sad and lonely, not to mention surreal.I have mixed feelings about this film. The detachment is the point of view. I think it masquerades as objective, but really, it's pretty judgmental. The slow-motion camera lingers on guys who are north of 60 decked out in feathers, or leather harnesses. You see every nook and cranny in their well-worn faces; any joy the guys are feeling gets scrubbed out. Is it fair? Sure. Does it tell a story? Yes. Is it interesting, and fun to watch? Not for me.The film centers on five guys from Europe and the Middle East, so, points for that. But. One guy is in a wheelchair, and another lives in Dubai. One guy is Palestinian now living in Belgium. The film seems to suggest that their life challenges are equivalent, at least from the perspective of being gay and fitting into the gay community. So it's hard not to feel that the filmmakers see their queerness as yet another handicap.If you're a Stonewall-era veteran like me, you may find this film pretty rough going. And for young gay guys--well, it might make them feel like voting Republican.

Cinematography is absolutely amazing during the entire movie. Spectacular costumes and amazing lighting gave a feel that you were on the very cruise itself. I identified with a lot of the characters and our struggles to accept one another and be real, free, open and honest. This film touched me in a way I doubt another gay film will. Bravo!

Saw this film last night at the Sydney Queer Film Festival with 3 mates. We all found it rather disappointing as we'd all been on a Cruise Ship before and had a lot more fun than these poor devils seem to have experienced....the men that were chosen to showcase all had religious upbringings and while this is not itself a bad thing, it weighed too heavily on the course of the movie....the cinematography was excellent but overall that couldn't save the limp story-line
