Just perfect...
Excellent but underrated film
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Fans of the Mandie books and the previous Mandie film (Mandie and the Secret Tunnel) will probably enjoy this offering as well. For others it is a marginally entertaining family adventure film that probably won't hold a lot of interest. Young Lexi Johnson is personable and lively and gives a solid performance in the lead role. Many of the supporting performances appear much more amateurish.Fans of Hayley Mills will be disappointed to find that, despite major billing, she appears (as Mandie's grandmother) in only about 6 minutes of the film.Overall, if you are looking for family adventure films, you can do a lot better.
Dramatic plot twists, secret love interests, buried treasure! It's all in this charming sequel to "Mandi and the Secret Tunnel." The beloved cast returns once again but this time, to stop Jim Shaw from traveling into a poisoned gold mine. The two bumbling crooks (whose names escape me) return as well, teamed up with a bandit with a scraggly beard - who isn't all he appears to be - as they try to steal the gold from the mine. The gold is hidden, and the map is written in riddles. It's a race as Mandi, Polly, Joe, as well as Elizabeth - Mandi's mother - try to reach the mine before the crooks.With light-hearted humor, family fun, and lavish costumes and sets, this movie gets a 9 out of 10. The plot is consistent with the first film and holds all sorts of new surprises.Definitely worth renting.
I continue to be amazed at the breadth of quality provided by the cast and production of these Mandie movies (which are mostly based on the book series). These movies are fun for the entire family! The scenery, costumes, mansions, train, and the wonderful use of imagery and lighting, are all high points! The plot is full of adventure, as three different groups (John and Ned, Mandie and Polly and Joe, and the Bad Guys) all strive to complete their various goals. Ultimately this requires entering and surviving an abandoned cave mine, filled with danger and intrigue:)It is best to view the first movie, "Mandie And The Secret Tunnel" before this sequel, although some background flashbacks are provided to orient the viewer. The youthful actress playing Mandie (Lexi Johnson) continues to display the qualities of an experienced performer (attention to detail, nuanced expressions, superb articulation and presence). Note: I believe that movies based on books of fiction, should be judged solely on their own merit. Producers should have license to adjust the plot if needed (to expand the maturity rating for a family audience, etc).
