Those of you confused by the title are unaware that's Johnny Vegas' name. He's not funny and he has up until now displayed no talent other than being loud and fat, but this was good. The setting was a poor choice not because of the plot but the shoestring budget that on a massive ship that was showed multiple times had a crew of 6 and had a total of around 10 passengers both figures are legitimate not decreased for effect. The same actor who was only portraying one person was the ships greeter, DJ, the single Black Jack dealer on the single gaming table in the giant cruise ships casino and to his role as MC of the singing machine. The walls of the "ship" staircase were clearly concrete blocks. And with all that i still enjoyed it and the other 2 movies like this are quite good as well. The UK tv mystery movie is a staple and while the money spent is tiny compared to any Agatha Christie adaptation the sense of humor especially during recreations of crimes some accurate some misinterpretations of events are staged effectively and enjoyably. If you get past the incredibly tiny budget and enjoy the story it's a lot of fun.
