    unrealistic time lapse

    The movie was quite cute, typical Disney-type movie. Joey and Andy take a trip to Australia and due to false advertisement and being pick-pocketed, they end up on a broken down ship passing off as a luxury charter boat. Needless-to-say, they run into all sorts of trouble and end up being shipwrecked. Pirates are chasing them and they have to rely on each other. Well, the REALLY unrealistic part is how the time passes, the days are flashed on the screen as the movie goes on, the boys are always clean and never seem to need a shave. Joey and Matt both have perfect goatees and even after 11 days look as clean and impeccable as the day they landed in Australia. Lots of goofs, be on the look out, but watchable.

    Twas a good sequel.

    I just finish seeing this an hour ago and while it is still fresh in my mind, I will review it. It was a good family film. I really did enjoy watching it and watching the Lawrence brothers acting togethor. I enjoyed the first one- Horse sense- and would have loved to see the relationship between Tommy and Mark (tommy's mom new.. um.. friend.). We went from 2 mins on the farm to 1 hours of an island. I would also for someone to explain if Michael landed in quick sand, why he did nt sink? What it was only 5 feet deep? I dont know, other than that, it was a funny and good film. Out of five stars 1 being a bomb and 5 being THE Bomb- I give it *** stars!

    I love outdoor movies,and good looking guys!

    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.

    A Story of Survival

    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 into a new sequel! Very good!

    Just wanted to say that the original movie Horse Sense is a better movie, but i'm glad to see all the brothers back again! It's a real treat for the whole family and it's just fun and a lot of action. For a Disney movie and being a sequel it's pretty good for t.v. Joey, Matt and Andy will be stars and will get great roles in the future! So keep up the great work guys. Ohh wait a minute the movie is about... Wait just watch the movie. It's fun and if you like the 1st movie you will like this one! Out of 4 stars I give it 3 stars.
