I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen become westerners in this TV movie entitled "How The West Was Fun". The story involves Susie and Jessica,who are twin daughters of a single dad that gets invited to a relative's ranch.While staying there,they discover treasures that belonged to their mother who already has passed away.When they learn that the ranch owner's son intends to sell the ranch and turn it into a theme park,both decide to take matters into their own hands and take some action like Westerners to save it.This is definitely one of the better films made by the Olsen Twins within their standards.We get to see them during their younger years.It was both sweet and fun.Also,many viewers will find enjoyment in it despite being a children's movie.It was also the years before most of their films started become boy crazy characters as they were only eight years old when they made it.

i didn't like the movie at all although I am trying to figure out the name of the song at the end.I thought it was cowgirl wannabe or something like that but yeah what is it? i need help....the song was better than the whole movie! Lets make a movie about little girls going to a dude ranch to save it and find FAKE gold!.. its so re-tarted.. i hated it. i seriously don't understand why they made the movie. i first saw it and fell asleep!yeah Mary-Kate and Ashley were cute on full house but there was no point in making this movie or any of their other ones!

This is quite an awful little film. It is slow-paced, stiff-acted and boring. Of course, considering the main cast are two twin eight year olds, that comes as no surprise. Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen got fame from "Full House," an emotionally controlling and contrived television show. I always thought the "little kid" they had on the show was a bad actress(es). Now, they have spun off countless "mystery films" and cheap little straight-too-video movies. I am surprised anyone thought these little girls had talent, but then again, everyone thought Macauley Culkin was great, so everybody will probably think these twins are the best ever! 1/5 stars --John Ulmer

This is a cliche movie about saving a dude ranch from the evil developers! Recycled plot. Oh well. :-) The Olsen twins redeem it with their cheery faces.Definitely, not the Olsen twins best movie but still...If you are an Olsen twin junkie then you have to see this one anyways.
