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.

Too much of everything
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
It's very rare that Matthew Lawrence gets to be in something for at least 50% of the movie or TV show. Since Brotherly Love got canned, he had a non-speaking cameo in Horse Sense (1%), had 25% in The Hot Chick, 30% in Family Tree & some of the Boy Meets World episodes had him do token lines.Only H-E Double Hockey Sticks & Jumping Ship are the happy exceptions for a big part. I'm glad he did Jumping Ship to get rid of his drought. Loved the movie overall as well.The only other droughts Matt has are singing (Boy Meets World-As Time Goed By-2000) & doing a talk show (Donny & Marie-2000), while Joseph & Andy did Wayne Brady.
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.
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.

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.
