Amy Kirk, Andrew Wheeler, Anna Chlumsky

Do you remember that very special day when you met the person who would become your dearest friend, closer than any brother or sister? For Beth Easton, a polished 13-year-old city slicker relocating f...( read more  read more... )rom Los Angeles to a small Northwestern town that she disparagingly refers to as "the sticks," that day occurs when she literally runs into her complete opposite--Jody Salerno, a neglected tomboy who is more at home in the woods than the so-called civilized world that Beth has reluctantly left behind. Armed with a rickety home-built boat, a map and a wild imagination, Jody is determined to stake her claim in a mysterious mountain that she and nobody else believes is filled with gold--and nothing is going to stop her! Beth and Jody soon become best friends for life in the adventure of a lifetime.

    Oh man, I just rewatched this movie and it was crazy! I think this is one of those movies that I watched a million times growing up. Like Baby Sitters Club and Now and Then. It's so creepy too how many people were always sort of there through my childhood.

    Christina Ricci, in t...( read more)his, Now and Then, Casper and I'm sure a whole bunch of other movies, Addams Family...

    Jewel Staite was in this movie too! Plus there was all of this weird stuff, like how Jody was abused by her crappy "step dad" who was an alcoholic. I'd totally forgotten all of that. I have no idea why but this movie is exactly what I needed right now. I think I'll watch My Girl next since Chlumsky is in that too.

    Oh yeah and the girl who played Chrissy in Now and Then is in this too!
