 Painful to sit through. July 7, 2009
John S. Harris (Memphis, TN)

Given the choice between watching this again and being waterboarded, I think I'd have to choose the latter.
I like Chris Elliot. I loved Dave Letterman's brief cameo. I hated, hated, hated, hated this movie.
A horror movie that isn't scary is just dull, but a comedy that isn't funny is squirm-inducingly painful. "Cabin Boy" is just plain awful.
 Earl Hofert: The Legend Begins! June 28, 2009
Craig Edwards (By the sea in NC)
Cabin Boy (1994) It's surprising to me that this very strange comedy didn't do better at the box office than it did; it is very much in the same vein as Dumb and Dumber and Tommy Boy. Chris Elliott (Manhunter) plays a very conceited "fancy lad" in a world somewhat like ours, but at the same time quite different. He's supposed to take a cruise to his father's island resort, but gets on the wrong boat and ends up working as the cabin boy for a bunch of rough and tough fishermen. Elliott's blundering soon lands them in "Hell's Bucket," and things get very weird indeed, with monsters and giants getting involved. It's a mutant crossbreed of Captains Courageous, Elliott's old sitcom Get a Life, and a Ray Harryhausen movie. If you can actually conceive of such a thing, you should probably give this a look, I had a good time with this one. Also with Brion James (Radioland Murders), Ricki Lake (Serial Mom), and a cameo from one Earl Hofert, who bears more than a passing resemblance to David Letterman.
 Nothing wrong with these pipes February 6, 2009

While Cabin Boy was reviled upon its theatrical release as the worst movie ever made, to the point that it became a byword for bad movies for a year or so thereafter and a lasting point of embarrassment to producer David Letterman, the number of positive reviews here demonstrate that Chris Elliott gets the last laugh. This film is just inspired lunacy from beginning to end, and it never lets up, continuing to ratchet up the ridiculousness quotient. And far from being dumb, this movie really creatively mines the comic potential in what is a pretty arcane, literary topic: seafaring and the legends and camaraderie of sailors. In so doing, it creates one classic set-piece after another, from the giant, fat-assed flying cupcake to "these pipes are clean!" The only comedy film I've seen in the past decade that's this hilariously insane came from Korea: it's called Dasepo Naughty Girls and hasn't even been released on DVD in the US. Look for it.
Classic Chris Elliot January 13, 2009

I would imagine that some how Chris Elliot's style of humor isn't for everyone, but this movie is a classic. Just straight to the point stupid humor and jokes. Great movie.
The Worst Movie Ever April 12, 2008

2 out of 6 found this review helpful
I was just browsing through movies and I saw that this movie was rated four stars. I cannot begin to tell you how shocked I was. This is hands down the absolute worst movie I have ever see in my entire life. I watched this several years ago with a large group of friends and family. At the end, we were all left scratching our heads and saying "are you kidding me?" This is the movie that we now compare all others too. If any of us dislike a movie we say "We'll at least it was better than Cabin Boy." Do not waste your time on this movie. The acting is terrible. The story/plot line is completely ridiculous. Not funny ridiculous, just stupid and pointless to the extent that it is annoying to watch. The filming itself is what you would expect from a B movie. I find that I am becoming irritated again just thinking about it. Not suitable for children either because there is one part where the star goes into a cave and has sex with this multi-armed thing. I wish I could offer more details but I have attempted to block as much of this move out of my mind as possible. I cannot emphasize enough how horrendous this movie is. If you choose to watch it you will likely think "wow, there's two hours of my life I will never get back" and then mourn.
