Jumping Ship (2001 TV Movie)
3 Lawrences Don't Make a Right!
20 August 2001
Okay, Okay we all know that the trio of Lawrence brother's are a site to behold. They are all attractive, and talented to one degree or another. It is refreshing to see them not cast as brothers. But, this movie was not a very good offering from the Disney Channel. Over the top sensationalism. The though of Australian pirates, and asian guy with an Austrailian accent, the fake looking croc, "where did they get the spears", and cell phones would float. Okay, Okay rant over.

David Lange does a mediocre job of directing this film. It seemed at times that he was more interested in filming the brother wet and shirtless than focusing on the story. If you can call the plot a story. Luck of the Irish still reigns as my favorite Made for TV Disney Channel movie. IT was original and unique. Horse Sense, was a much better movie than this, it's sequel. It was just too far out there. I don't know..

I didn't like how the character of Michael reverted back to his snobby, bitch-boy beverly hills ways. He seemd to shed that in the first movie. Andy as Tommy gives a very flat, unworthy or the previous films character of tommy, performance. Matt Lawrence is the only one that seemed remotely interested in acting in this movie. And, that isn't saying much.
