Jumping Ship Trailers

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.

Steineded How sad is this?
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Christopher Hewitt 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.
bmv_2079 Since it aired,yesterday,I have seen Jumping Ship twice.I have enjoyed all the movies I have seen with the Lawrence boys.This one was probably my favorite.You can see the bond between Joey and Andy really well in this movie.And with Matthew,you just kind of get the impression that he really enjoys fighting with his older brother and getting paid for it.I like the Swiss Family Robinson meets Rodeo Drive feel of the entire show.It has a nice story line that anyone from 8-43(my mom)could enjoy.I hope this will be a start for a lot more movies with the Lawrence brothers together.

EvieOConnel 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.
