Jumping Ship
Joseph, Matthew and Andrew Lawrence (TV's Brotherly Love) star in this thrilling, action-packed sequel to the Disney Channel Original Movie Horse Sense. It's first-class adventure on the high seas for Michael Woods (Joseph Lawrence) and his cousin (Andrew Lawrence) when they charter a private yacht for a fun-filled cruise off the coast of Australia. But the yacht turns out to be a broken-down fishing boat complete with rusting hull! When they find themselves being chased by modern-day pirates, they decide that Jumping Ship with the boat's captain Jake Hunter (Matthew Lawrence) is the only option. Stranded on a desert island without any conveniences from home, these three castaways must work together as a team if they hope to survive and be rescued.

Best movie ever!
Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
This one ranked some where between a comedy and a not so action action. I've enjoyed watching the Lawrence brothers in several of their movies and this one brought them all together. The plot was a given, but it was fun to sit through their adventure. The villains were just that, reminding me of those in the comedies of Dudley Do Right; however, they didn't have the long black mustaches. Enjoy, its worth watching.
The Lawrence Brothers are probably the best comic actors around. They work so well together and they they are genuine is what makes the movie work. The plot is outlandish, but the Lawrence Brothers make it work well. They take a crazy story and make it believable. Disney should release this film on video and DVD.
I found the movie to be well done. The actors, the Lawrence Brothers, have an excellent chemistry. In this sequel to "Horse Sense," Michael (Joey Lawrence) is still immature and in ways Tommy (Andrew Lawrence)is very mature. Michael is unemployed, using his parents' money to finance a trip to Australia with his cousin Tommy. He is over the budget, because he has invited a girl to meet him there from Hawaii. As a result, he will have to get a job when he returns home (he does not want to work for his dad as a file clerk, so he is job-shopping while on vacation. Looking for something easy). He is still very spoiled and has no clue why he should take responsibility for his actions. Things happen, his wallet is stolen, and he has chartered a second rate boat to go out on for a couple of days. Things go bad and you see where Michael is still immature, but Tommy handles things very well. Jake (Matthew Lawrence) is the captain of the boat, and he is somewhat of a snob, because he believes that both guys are wealthy. Once he discovers that Tommy knows what hard work is, the two begin to bond. The action continues when they run into Pirates. The movie is very well written and I look forward to another movie to continue the story of Michael and Tommy, with Jake included.
Jumping Ship was a cute movie, some of the action might be a little intense for some of the target audience (7-10 year old's), but it should be on the money for 11 and 12 year old's. Andrew Lawrence has grown some, well he should've, he is human. But the fact that the triplets are working together on a show is refreshing. But one thing I found a bit comical was the fact that the name Jake Hunter (Played by Matthew Lawrence) is almost the exact same as one of his previous characters, Jack Hunter, on the TV series 'Boy Meets World'. But again, on the movie, the plot is alright, the characters are alright, but the fact that a crocodile was in the ocean seemed a bit, well, odd. But I'm not an animal expert so I wouldn't know.
