Member Rating:  
Former NBC intern and Get a Life creator Chris Elliott stars as the title character, a recent graduate of the exclusive Fancy Lad Academy who unwittingly boards the wrong sea vessel and ends up a whipping post for its gruff, foul-mouthed crew after his predecessor (Andy Richter of The Late Show) falls overboard. Over the course of their adventures, Elliot eventually earns the respect of the crew as he also earns his manhood. This supremely silly film features sight gags and tastelessness galore, including a love scene with a woman who's all hands -- literally. Elliot's old boss David Letterman appears in an amusing unbilled cameo as a sarcastic villager in port. In all, Cabin Boy works much in the same vein as Elliot's former TV show; a crass sense of humor is helpful for full appreciation. ~ Jeremy Beday, Rovi

    Well, one thing for sure, this movie will never be mistaken for any type of classic. It's actually quite bad...intentionally so. Nothing can look or be so low budget unless they tried extremely hard to make it that way. Which is why Cabin boy is so bad it's almost good. The laughs come from the extreme desperation and lame attempts at humor. You don't laugh at the jokes, you laugh at how bad it all truly is. The best part of the film is the cameo by David Letterman. I can and have watched that scene numerous times. It always has me in stitches. It's amazing how many cameos are in the film...Chris Elliott called in all of his favors, or he has alot of talented friends. Can't recommend the film, but it's a a decent watch for Letterman, Elliot, or Richter fans.

    This movie is in my collection. I can always pop it in and get a chuckle. Don't take it too serious or expect to much --it's just for laughs! This flick is full of great one-liners and cameo appearances from names you'll know. Besides, anything Tim Burton is involved in is always beyond the mainstream. "Wanna buy a monkey?"

    I thought this one was hilarious-tons of guest stars just show up-andy richter is priceless in this one-a real tongue in cheek look-reminds me of monty python type movies. Watch this one with a bunch of friends.
