Beth (Christina Ricci) is a city mouse who's just arrived in the country. When her family relocates to a leafy area in the state of Washington, Beth starts hanging out with outsider Jody (Anna Chlumsky), who is constantly regaling Beth with a local legend about a woman named Molly Morgan (Amy Kirk) that supposedly hid a treasure somewhere on nearby Bear Mountain. When the girls decide to tackle Bear Mountain together, Beth learns about the not-so-happy situation Jody is dealing with at home.

Gold Diggers is not my cup of tea, but it is sure to be enjoyed by younger audiences, and although I don't think it will hold the attention of adults, I do not require adults and children to be alike in all things.

2/4

The resulting film is diverting enough in a smallish way, but it has trouble deciding whether it wants to be fantasy-adventure or social comment.

3/5

Good performances by Ricci as Beth and Chlumsky as Jody give this otherwise run-of-the-mill story some weight and interest.

One of my favorite movies as a child. I loved the adventure these two girls went on and it reminds me of my current friendships and how they grow.

Upon Beth (Christina Ricci) moving back into town along with her single mother, she would then make friends with a rebel and tomboy, Jody (Anna Chlumsky) in search of treasure as a result of a mythical book.

Christina Ricci and Anna Chlumsky are a lovable pair of friends One of those early adventurous kids flicks from the 1990s. The tone is sometimes jarring going from whimsical to dark and serious but it means well The gold isn't really the main focus but a secondary plot watching these two girls bond Beth moves from the city and isn't a fan but when she meets Jody they make an unexpected bond despite what everyone says about her, plus she has a troubled home life she keeps to herself They venture into the woods to search for famous treasure in a mountain where Jody has made a shelter for herself, of course Beth has a tough time being just as curious At points it's cute and innocent other times it's heavy and tough Still the two girls make the film soar with their budding relationship The boat they sail on is one of my favorite props, too You'll be engulfed by the breathtaking scenery as well
