Gold Diggers: The Secret of Bear Mountain

I have seen this movie many times, watched it over and over and I never get sick of it. This is a wonderful story about friendship that has touched my heart. A brilliant family movie that children will especially love for the adventure, fun, and triumph that it presents.

For its time, this was a great movie! It was one of my favorites growing up that can be easily paired with "The Goonies" and "Holes" for rustic adventure vibes! Definitely underrated. I hope it resurfaces in the future and brings in a wider audience!

This is a movie that should be viewed by everyone because it is a true testament to what friends will do for one another without question.

Anna Chlumsky gives one of her best performances as Jody Salerno and Christina Ricci shines in her role as Beth Easton. Together they are on a mission to capture gold. However, along the way they encounter problems that will test their friendship.

I enjoyed and appreciate how the director took his time to focus the story more on the development of Jody and Beth's friendship instead of just searching for the gold. One of the best examples was when Beth was trapped in the mountain and Jody went for help. It was then I realized that Jody really cared about someone other than herself. Through thick and thin, happy or difficult times they were there for one another, which was the best part. No matter who was in trouble or who was getting pucked on, they stuck together.

I was thrilled to see a movie that is a change of pace from what has come out, which has come out recently. I really hope this movie does the same for each viewer as it did for me. I highly recommend this film because it shows the true meaning of friendship

How old was i in 1995..Who knows. Lets be honest here. This movie was made for only one reason. Not, not that 80% of the american teen population had a crush on at least one of these two, not THAT reason. To mop up the novelty of Anna post MY GIRL movies which everybody knew as those exploded as the defacto family movies of the era. And Christina was riding high following the ADDAMS FAMILY movies which too, were seen by all. Unintentionally both movie franchises followed a very similar release schedule. 91 and 93 for addams, 91 and 94 for my girl.

Somebody had the brilliant idea to combine these two together and put them in a movie. But it was the wrong movie you see.. Neither of these 2 were cut for adventure girly movie vanilla script and story. Ricci did nice with dark quirky roles and Anna was more of the girl next door person and required a male actor to get to project that image. Together they had no chemistry. From start to finish.

Here they put ricci as annas role, and anna became some tomboy that does not ooze a single sweat drop of toughness. If they reversed them, it would have worked better. The whole movie is forced and it feels so. It is supposed to be a childrens adventure movie and yeah at the time it worked because we all knew who these 2 were and nobody was going to say anything. But 30 years later i totally can because i watched it again I can see how bad it is. It is sad.

Yet i cannot be too hard on it because this is not supposed to be serious. It was simply combining 2 actors before they aged out completely and rolling out a quick family movie with all the elements of the 90s.

6\10 It is just average... and miscast.

I absolutely love this movie it made me cry the first 5 times I watched it. I think this movie should get 20 stars out of 10, I have seen this movie so many times I have every single word of it memorized, this movie deals with so many issues we face today, and even though it was make in 1995 doesn't mean it's an old fogie movie that doesn't deserve the time of day, just trust me I have seen it enough times to know! lol. I think that if you are looking for a movie to sit down and watch and not want it to be over then you have found the right movie Gold Diggers can make you laugh, cry, and wonder what's going to happen next all at the same time! So if you have yet to see this wonderful movie don't pass it up, go see it now!

PS, See this movie, you have to!
