7/10
Even after the age of 8 or 9, I still like it

I remember when I was 8 or 9, I saw this and recored it to video, I lost it and hadn't seen it since. I remembered about it last year and got it and I have to say some of it a bit cheesy but still really good.

The story is really good and keeps you interested. It's not just about finding treasure, its about loyalty and caring for your best friend. Some really good history flash back scenes of Molly Morgan.

The connection with the characters were excellent,it really gets you involved in the film. Its really good to see how Beth and Jody develop as they are together. Jody becomes very caring when Beth is in trouble. Also Beth becomes a lot more adventures like Jody.

Anna Chlumpsky and Christina Riccy did very well for the parts of Beth and Jody. Also some other good acting performances. The only two actresses that weren't brilliant were the two girls that Beth met after first meeting Jody, they were average but not amazing.

The direction was excellent by Kevin James Dobson, some really good long shots of scenery.

There are some cheesy moments in the film, for example the beam of light that shines from the mountain and goes straight to Beth and Jody on the boat. These moments don't happen through out the whole film to ruin it.

I really wished they changed the ending, I wont say it just encase you haven't watched it.

Other than that its a really good family film, even I still think its really good.

Its definitely a good film to watch with your family on a rainy day.
