5.0 out of 5 stars Great movie for girls, May 10, 2002

This review is from: Goldrush: A Real Life Alaskan Adventure [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I watched and taped this when it was on TV in 1997 and loved it. I couldn't wait for it to come out on video so I could buy it.
It's a story about a young woman (Alyssa Milano) who gets Gold Rush Fever in the early 1900's and makes up her mind about going from her very nice city life to the harsh wilderness of Alaska to make her fortune in gold.
After having to prove herself worthy of joining a company of all men, she overcomes a harsh winter trek through the wildnerss of Alaska.
Eventually, she proves that anyone, regardless if they are man or woman, can make their dreams come true if they are willing to work for it.
This is a great empowering movie for young girls and teenagers as well as for the guys because of it's real message.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure Gold!, June 20, 2001

This review is from: Goldrush: A Real Life Alaskan Adventure [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Here is a great family movie of adventure, determination, heroism, and bravery. Plus, it's set back in the late 1800s, which makes it even more interesting. Fizzy (Alyssa Milano) leaves her high society life in New York and sets out for Alaska in search of gold. It's an adventurous, courageous storyline, and Alyssa is fabulous at playing the innocent, wholesome, confident, no-nonsense, caring and lovely Fizzy...a great role-model. This is one of my favorite movies. It is a movie to be watched again and again and will inspire you and enrich your life without a doubt. Not only is the storyline excellent, but the movie also has fabulous scenery and music and is wonderfully directed. This movie is as good as gold!

4.0 out of 5 stars Alyssa looks good!, July 7, 2000

By A Customer

So we know that Alyssa can look good in all of her films, but can she make watching them more interesting by her acting? Well yes actually. This film is a fun, exciting Disney movie, where Alyssa plays Fizzy, who is searching for gold and gives quite a solid perfomance with a strong-willed role, whilst also being able to look as if she is enjoying herself. Good fun!
