Poseidon

In Poseidon, Josh Lucas stars as Dylan - a professional gambler and loner traveling on the cruise ship Poseidon on New Year's Eve. Also along for the ride, we have the former Mayor of New York, Robert Ramsey (Kurt Russell); his daughter, Jennifer (Emmy Rossum), and her boyfriend, Christian; single mother Maggie (Jacinda "Real World Girl" Barrett) and her son, Conor; broken hearted and suicidal Richard (Richard Dreyfuss); and stowaway Elena (Mia 'ALIAS' Maestro). They never knew each other before this fateful trip, but the group is forced to pull together when the cruise ship is hit by a tsunami-like rogue wave that flips the boat over. The beautiful people survive as the massive machine starts to sink (only fat and ugly people die in Hollywood), so, against captain's orders, they team up to climb to a higher portion of the ship, hoping to escape and find rescue outside the vessel.
Who will live? Who will die? Do they have any hope of rescue?
Pretty entertaining but don't waste your money on renting it, wait for HBO or Starz or whatever damn cable network is daring enough to carry it.
