I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Blistering performances.

This Movie stars all of the three Lawrence brothers. Andy has grown a lot since the last movie, "Horse Sense". Joey and Matt stayed about the same, though. I have seen this film numerous times and I enjoy it every time. I have to say that after reading other reviews that I like both movies equally. "Horse Sense" has a lot more people in it, has a more familiar surrounding, and more of a story. In "Jumping Ship" all they do is shipwreck on an island to put it bluntly. I has much more action than the first and more scarier scenes. The movies are totally different and the only comparison is that they share the same characters. What is also good about "Jumping Ship" is that the plot is not predictable. It is very suspenseful and interesting. But it could have possibly been just as good if they would have used a crowd of three other brothers so that the Lawrences would not be in so many movies. But their expertise was needed and it is an adventure flick that everyone should sit through once. It is probably the most fun for kids 7-13 years of age, but Adults would like it too.

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!

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.
