A kid goes off to seek adventure, gets shipwrecked on a tropical island and has to deal with pirates. Stian Smestad plays the lead kid and he is passable as an actor. There are a few scenes that he is in that should have been reshot because he didn’t nail his line. The story sounds good, but I didn’t relate to any of the characters, so I found myself not completely following the movie. If the premise sounds like something you would enjoy, then check it out.

A good throw back to the old Disney adventure movies. Think "Swiss Family Robinson". Had a fun time with it.

It takes a while for Shipwrecked to set sail, but it's an amusing family adventure once it gets going. The plot feels like a mix of Treasure Island and Home Alone, even though it's based on a Norwegian book that came before either of those stories. I saw this one in theaters when it first came out, but I had forgotten most of the movie. It was fun to revisit it again with my kids.
