The film unfolds during a Semester-at-Sea-type cruise in the Caribbean. The class from Billingsly University are trying to put on a play to win a contest. Sexy and scheming Gerri and stoner Pete are competing for a scholarship. Newmar is trying to have sex with Violet, his Christian girlfriend. Rusty is just trying to have sex with anything he can. The creepy Dante runs around planning all sorts of nefarious schemes. Meanwhile, a priceless stolen jewel is loose on the boat and everyone is after it.
The film was shot on location in California, primarily aboard the Queen Mary, docked in the Port of Long Beach.
The film had its premiere screening at the Directors Guild of America Building in Hollywood on June 14, 2006.
The film was released on DVD September 5, 2006. It debuted at number 28 on the U.S. rental box office charts bringing in $790,000 in its first five days.[1]
A third film was planned but was reworked into what became Transylmania, released in 2009.
