In vacanza con i pirati

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.

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.

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.

The Lawrence Brothers are involved in another family project for the Disney company in Jumping Ship. The same two characters that Joey and Andy Lawrence played in Horse Sense are having some more adventures. If I may say so, some more serious adventures.

In Horse Sense Joey was a cousin of Andy who helped save his cousin's ranch. But there he was only facing some business sharks. Some real sharks can be a problem as the cousins take a trip down under.

Brother Matt joins them and his hair is dyed blond possibly to disguise a rather obvious family resemblance. He's a young charter boat captain and the boat isn't exactly Club Med type accommodations. That's because Joey's dad has put some limits on his free spending yuppie son. But on their Australian vacation, Joey and Andy attract the attention of some pirates who think that Joey might be worth a few bucks when he starts flashing money around.

They all wind up on a deserted tropical island and have to fend for themselves and at this point the movie is a combination of The Admirable Crichton and Swiss Family Robinson. The Aussie and island scenery is quite lovely to behold and so are the two older Lawrence brothers. All in all a pleasant piece of viewing.

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.
