The Lawrence Brothers are involved in another family project for the Disney company in Jumping Ship. The same two characters that Joey and Andy Lawrence played in Horse Sense are having some more adventures. If I may say so, some more serious adventures.In Horse Sense Joey was a cousin of Andy who helped save his cousin's ranch. But there he was only facing some business sharks. Some real sharks can be a problem as the cousins take a trip down under.Brother Matt joins them and his hair is dyed blond possibly to disguise a rather obvious family resemblance. He's a young charter boat captain and the boat isn't exactly Club Med type accommodations. That's because Joey's dad has put some limits on his free spending yuppie son. But on their Australian vacation, Joey and Andy attract the attention of some pirates who think that Joey might be worth a few bucks when he starts flashing money around.They all wind up on a deserted tropical island and have to fend for themselves and at this point the movie is a combination of The Admirable Crichton and Swiss Family Robinson. The Aussie and island scenery is quite lovely to behold and so are the two older Lawrence brothers. All in all a pleasant piece of viewing.

Its more fun than drowning, but thats about it. It really had a minimal story, and the acting wasn't great.I think the Lawrences are good together because they have chemistry, but in this movie there just wasn't any.I don't think it was bad because of the Lawrence Bros. though. I am actually quite fond of them in Horse Sense, Brotherly Love, Boy Meets world, and Oliver Beene( If that is still on).If its the only thing on, You might want to watch it, but otherwise don't give it the time of day.

Great movie for the family. Starring all the Lawrence brothers, Joey, Matt and Andy. It's a great cast. All three brothers are great in the movie! It is both funny and dramatic. Joey and Matt fight most of the time but as the movie goes on they begin to settle down. All Lawrence boys are very cute! See it on Disney all the month of August!

The only thing worse than this was Horse Sense. The only thing that could possibly keep you watching are the gorgeous looks of Matt and Joey Lawrence. It's not possible to not be completly bored with this movie. But you can't help but want to go cuddle Jake Hunter (Matt Lawrence) and tell him he'll never be lonly again. In conclusion, I would like to admit I may watch this again, but not because I liked it.
