Jumping Ship (2001)
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.

Okay, Okay we all know that the trio of Lawrence brother's are a site to behold. They are all attractive, and talented to one degree or another. It is refreshing to see them not cast as brothers. But, this movie was not a very good offering from the Disney Channel. Over the top sensationalism. The though of Australian pirates, and asian guy with an Austrailian accent, the fake looking croc, "where did they get the spears", and cell phones would float. Okay, Okay rant over.David Lange does a mediocre job of directing this film. It seemed at times that he was more interested in filming the brother wet and shirtless than focusing on the story. If you can call the plot a story. Luck of the Irish still reigns as my favorite Made for TV Disney Channel movie. IT was original and unique. Horse Sense, was a much better movie than this, it's sequel. It was just too far out there. I don't know..I didn't like how the character of Michael reverted back to his snobby, bitch-boy beverly hills ways. He seemd to shed that in the first movie. Andy as Tommy gives a very flat, unworthy or the previous films character of tommy, performance. Matt Lawrence is the only one that seemed remotely interested in acting in this movie. And, that isn't saying much. 6 out of 10
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.
i wasn't really expecting much here but was pleasently surprised . a good rousing adventure with solid performances all around from the lawrence clan. i still haven't seen HORSE SENSE yet but i will now that i have seen this latest effort . now don't misunderstand me , this movie won't win any awards but is definately worth viewing . i gave it a six and feel it well deserves it .
