Jumping Ship

This one ranked some where between a comedy and a not so action action. I've enjoyed watching the Lawrence brothers in several of their movies and this one brought them all together. The plot was a given, but it was fun to sit through their adventure. The villains were just that, reminding me of those in the comedies of Dudley Do Right; however, they didn't have the long black mustaches. Enjoy, its worth watching.

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.

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.

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!
