“A Christmas Cruise” (*1/2 out of four) was an aimless romantic comedy badly in need of the compass of a better writer and director about an aspiring writer (Vivica A. Fox) who is spurred along by her single friend (Jessica Morris) to take a holiday-themed sail full of singles guys. Guess what happens next. Fox is beautiful and charismatic as usual but this predictable story leaves her high-and-dry. You wish she would celebrate independence day from these made-for-television movies and return to the grittier work (“Set It Off”, “Why Do Fools Fall In Love?”) that made her famous.
