If someone out there is compiling a list of horrible, inane and completely dull films, Cabin Boy belongs at the very top. Chris Elliot definitely should have held out for a better vehicle for his talents. Even David Letterman's cameo falls flat and lifeless surrounded by the rest of this ineptly directed and painfully UN-funny story. Elliot (whom I've always liked) plays the title character who signs on a boat seeking adventure and experience. The rest of the film revolves around the crew mistreating him, bathroom humor that isn't even remotely funny, and a cast of very bizarre characters from a shark-man to the multi-armed woman to whom Elliot loses his virginity. Trust me, you'll want these two hours of your life back. They'll be better spent watching your grass grow.
