How the West Was Fun

I remember when this was on (it's been almost 10 years I can't believe it!) and my sister and I watched this quite often. I thought it was really good. When I look back on it, it wasn't that great of a movie, but kids most definately will enjoy it. It was made for kids.

My kids thought this was the best movie by the Olsen twins, and so did I. ("Little Rascals" is not really an Olsen twin movie, and we didn't like "It Takes Two" as well.) Its plot is predictable but plausible, with a touch of mystery and suspense. Martin Mull gives a fine performance as the bad guy. The western scenery is excellent: production values seem higher than most made-for-TV movies. I think this is as good as many higher-rated IMDb movies, but it lacks drug or alcohol references, so I guess many pseudo-adults can't appreciate it. One funny part is the way George (Ben Cardinal), a native American / Indian, keeps arriving everywhere via mountain bike before the horses do.

This may not have been one of their best movies, but I still liked it. I'm a Olsen twin fan and I like all their movies, even their short videos. This movie was pretty good, and the Olsen twins did well. They are good actresses.

This movie is great for girls when they are 10 and under which is a good thing because thats who it was originally meant for anyway. Although once your kids get older and they watch it .. it'll just be like everything else they used to love watching when they were young such as Barney or Zoom. Point in fact is that you'll only like it if your a 10 year old girl or younger. The action, suspense, drama, and comedy is all aimed for kids not adults or teens. I still find it amusing though but thats probley only because My sister and i use to love it when we were kids.

anyway i give it a 7/10.

This is everything a young girl needs in a movie! I can't wait to watch this with my kids.
