THIS MOVIE WAS SUCH A RIP-OFF

Almost everything in this movie was completely ripped off from "Six Days, Seven Nights" The pirates, the part where they use the flare to get the commercial plane's attention, and even the part where they jump off the cliff. There are way too many parts to list. The studio who made "Six Days, Seven Nights" should file for copyright infrigement....unless disney bought the script from them or something... Disney is known for making ripoff's...like Pixel Perfect from Simone.

It's hard to find movies that aren't inspired by other movies...no use complaining about it coz it's not gonna change...besides six days, seven nights and simone were hardly kids movies, so disney took a couple older storylines and made them available for younger viewers to enjoy...

I totally agree with chadsgirl824 , besides, i loved Jumping ship and Horse sense the Lawrence brothers are awesome!

I completely agree. There is no doubt that they totally copied Six Days, Seven Nights. They did more than just take the storyline like chadsgirl said, they took pratically every event.

Evan Almighty totally stole from the movie Noah..
Noah is a disney movie..Movies have to b inspired by other movies.
Anyways older movies r way better..
I think the 80s was the best time evverrr..

Wasn't gonna comment, but I had to. The 80s the best era for movies? Hardly. The 80s had a lot of fun plots, and some cool franchises and things, but they also started the era of special effects, and other lame things that made movies for the next 20-30 years far less creative and original than the movies of yesteryear.

And as far as movies today comparing to movies of the 80s, the really good movies of today are FAR better.

This movie doesn't even count as far as comparing movies from other decades and time periods and generations.

But that's just my opinion, and I respect yours. :)

I just like to shake things up a bit...
