Recap:
Susie and Jessica are off to the Wild West to visit their Granny Natty, after she writes them a letter asking to come. However, Granny Natty’s ranch is in trouble. She never gets enough visitors to stay at the ranch to support it. Granny Natty decides she needs to sell the ranch and a developer, named Bart, is more than eager to help her out. However, things are not all as they seems– it turns out Bart has an evil plan! Susie and Jessica decide they need to help out Granny Natty, save the ranch and they also learn a lot about themselves and the mother they never knew along the way!

My Take:
It’s classic early Olsen cheese. Mary-Kate and Ashley’s films are always predictable and familiar, but in a comforting way. It’s the same plot, but in a different setting. A fun, outdoorsy movie that’s great for kids who love(d!) Mary-Kate and Ashley and horses. I know I did!

    I thought that it was a cute movie. When I was a kid it was one of my favorite movies I would stop everything I was doing just to watch it. I love the song at the end. What is the name of that song?
