Goldrush: A Real Life Alaskan Adventure (1998)

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

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

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

OK, it's a Disney movie. OK, it does have Alyssa Milanno. And yes it is poorly written. But it does have something to keep it in tact, and that would be none other than horror legend Bruce Campbell. The acting in this film isn't great, but what Campbell film has good acting. I only have three complaints about this movie, no zombies, Every 1o seconds Milanno says something that irritates you so bad you want her head to explode, and no nude scenes. Come'on Alyssa Milanno should be nude in every film she does this is no exception. But if your in the mood to see Campbell trudging through some snow, pick this up. Or if you drink a six pack of beer and want something to watch, Or if Disney is offering one those free weekend packages or something.

Goldrush: A Real Life Alaskan Adventure is a great tv film for all ages. The movie focuses around "Fizzy" (Alyssa Milano) who wants to go on travel for gold in Alaska. The only person who hires her is Pierce Thomas Madison (Bruce Campbell). What comes next for her is an adventure she will never forget. This tv film was just great. The acting is #1 (especially by Bruce Campbell and Alyssa Milano) and I also learned some information about the Goldrush. I recommend this TV film to all without hesitation. It is also based on a true story.10/10

Here is a movie of adventure, determination, heroism, & bravery. Plus, it's set back in the late 1800s which makes it even more interesting. It's a wonderful, adventurous storyline, and Alyssa Milano is wonderful at playing the wholesome, confident, no-nonsense 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!

In this above average made for TV flick, Disney captures the excitement of searching for gold in Alaska at the turn of the century. Alyssa Milano gives a strong, spunky and lively performance as "Fizzy", who holds her own as the only female searching for gold among several men, most of them quite older than she is. The whole cast looks like they are having a blast making the film. I did feel bad when the man fell in love with and proposed to Fizzy and she turned him down. This is a really fun movie. Well done, Disney!
