All Aboard! Rosie's Family Cruise demonstrates that gay families can be just as loving, sharing, exasperating, and embarrassing as heterosexual ones. A documentary of the Atlantic Ocean cruise sponsored by Rosie O'Donnell, All Aboard! features rich, compelling interviews with gay couples and their children, with brief musical numbers (some sweet, some cloying, some campy) and standup comedy sprinkled here and there. The parents include football players, hairdressers, and police officers, while the kids range from infants to rambunctious teenagers. While part of the point of the documentary is that these families are as typical as families with male and female parents, it's astonishing how self-possessed and open these teenagers are; having faced prejudice all of their lives, they've had to define themselves in ways most teens take for granted--and the result is a decidedly atypical poise and perception. But perhaps the most striking moment of the documentary comes at the very beginning: As the families come on board for the cruise and find themselves in an environment without judgment, the relief on their faces is palpable. All Aboard! is deceptively simple; it seems to unfold without shape, but by the end it's covered an impressive array of topics, both personal and political, without ever feeling preachy or forced. --Bret Fetzer

John Stevens (Indianapolis, IN USA)
Totally glam, fun, funny, understanding the plight of gay and lesbians.... ( there is no full frontal nudity) that some lying Christian have reported on amazonm here about this Dvd. It is very very very very family oriented

OMG YOU HAVE GOT TO GET THIS DVD ..IT HAS BEEN ALONG TIME COMING. LOVE IT. LOVED IT. IT WAS SO GOOD TO THSES FAMILIES DOING WHAT THEY HAVE ALWAYS DREAMED OFAND TO BE IN A PLACE WHERE YOU HAD NO BOUNDARIES IN YOUR LIFE AND BE WHO YOU REALLY ARE AND NOT BE JUDGED, WAS SO AMAZING. THE ONLY NEGATIVE THAT ,I WOULD HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THIS TRIP IS WHEN THEY GO TO THE BAHAMAS FOR A DAY AND THESE SO CALLED CHRISTIANS TAKE THE BIBLE OF COMPASSION AND BRING CONDEMNATION.IF YOU ALL DON'T WATCH OUT ALL OF YOU MIGHT HAVE GAY CHILDREN OR GRAND CHILDREN AND THEN WE WILL SEE HOW YOU ACT WHEN OTHER PEOPLE TREAT THEM LIKE THAT.DO WHAT GOD DOES JUST LOVE THEM!!!!GET THIS DVD... LOOK HOW HAPPY THESE PEOPLE ARE!TRULY AMAZING!!!!

This is the single most emotional bio Ive seen. I was in tears as the lovely familys were boarding the Cruise ship. Rosie offers an insightfull look into the wonderfull healthy families emersed in love ,commitment and a genuine awareness to all who have any doubts to uncontitional love and the many benifits it offers all children in the system who would be still there without these generous souls. I urge each and everyone to watch this video and show all your friends and lets be committed to teaching everyone that unconditional love comes in all shapes,colors and forms. Joanie Bigham

S. DUBOSE
I saw this movie on HBO a few years ago and absolutely fell in love with it. I loved it so much, 2 years later my family and I went on the Norwegian Dawn for a Caribbean vacation. If you're a parent, have ever been on vacation with your family, or need to discuss the hardships of family life this is a fantastic movie!
