Summary: My Top 10--Bittersweet Comedy
Review: 'My Girl,' is one of my top ten family comedy films since they've been making movies. It ranks as the most entertaining, heartwarming stories about coming-of-age and apply yourself parenthood. About a mannerly, awkward little guy named Thomas (Macaulay Culkin) becomes the object of 11 year-old Vada Sultenfuss' affections (Amy Chlumsky). Vada is distant from her father, Harry (Dan Aykroyd). Vada never knew her mother. Her mother died when she was born. So, naturally in such emotional surroundings, her dad runs a funeral home. She is obsessed with death. Things begin to see light when a make-up artist, Shelly Devoto (Jamie Lee Curtis) answers Harry's job want ad. She's one smart cookie who gets Harry to realize that life isn't just death...don't ignore the living..especially his daughter. Vada is very mature for her age and has a kind of wisdom for someone her age. There are some funny lines here and there. My favorite is Vada and Thomas walking home from school. Vada asks, "Why do you think people want to get married?" and Thomas replies "When you get old, you just have to". You can feel the emotion after Thomas is fatally stung by a hive of bees. It's easy for younger kids to view it, as it's geniusly pieced together to filter the aftershock. Vada must realize her best friend has gone, and her look at life and death had changed. She gives a lovely eulogy about, "The Weeping Willow....he left one day/Is it because he could not stay/He found shelter in your shade/...../ for there is something to calm your fears; / If you think death has ripped you forever apart / I know he'll always be in your heart." In the end, Harry and Shelby become capable parents for Vada. 'My Girl' is a bittersweet tale of growing up and single parents becoming a family again that the whole family will enjoy. It'll make you wanna cry and smile all at the same time. I got that title soundtrack song in my head by The Temptations that won't go away :), ASIN: B00000284Z. If you like this film you'll like it's sequel much more, 'My Girl 2.'

Summary: MY GIRL.
Review: I love MY GIRL. It's about an 11-year-old tomboy named Vada, who is growing up in the 70s. She never met her mother because her mother died when she was born. Vada lives with her widowed father who owns a funeral parlor and the funeral parlor happens to be Vada's home, as well. Vada is obsessed with death because she sees dead people coming into her home every day. Her best friend is a boy named Tommy J. (Macaulay Culkin) who is allergic to just about anything you can think of. Vada is also in love with her school teacher. When Vada's father hires a cosmatologist to put makeup on the dead people (and ends up falling in love with her), Vada soon starts to learn the true meaning of life. This flick also stars Dan Aykroyd as Vada's father, Jamie Lee Curtis as Shelly, the woman Vada's father falls in love with, and newcomer Anna Chlumsky as Vada. This is a great coming-of-age story that is very moving and at the same time, enjoyable and entertaining. With an all-star cast and serpurb acting, MY GIRL is a great movie to watch anytime! I also recommend the sequel, MY GIRL 2, which is just as good. If not, better!

Summary: They Sure Love Killing Off Macaulay Culkin's Characters
Review: What happens to Macaulay Culkin in "Jacob's Ladder?"
He dies.What happens to Macaulay Culkin in "The Good Son?"
He dies. What happens to Macaulay Culkin in "My Girl?"
He dies. Even in the Home Alone movies, they are trying to kill the little brat. Hollywood sure loves killing this kid. I suspect that it is some kind of sick fantasy as a result of Kit Culkin, the stage dad from Hell.

Summary: Brilliant, moving comedy
Review: "My Girl" is a touching, emotional film about a young girl's journey from the carefree childhood she's always known to the confusing-and often alarming-adolescent world. This young girl is Vada Sultenfuss (expertly played by Anna Chlumsky), a precocious, mature 11-year-old who's a little mixed up about life and death. Her best-and only-friend is Thomas Jay Sennet (Macaulay Culkin), a quiet, somewhat awkward boy who's allergic to just about everything you can think of and idolizes Vada. Dan Aykroyd is her widowed father, Harry, who owns a funeral parlor and is somewhat distant from his only daughter. Jamie Lee Curtis is the cosmetician Harry employs (and ends up marrying, but that's a diffent story.)
Vada tends to be a little controlling towards Thomas Jay (e.g. shoving him onto the porch when he comes over and she doesn't want visitors), but it becomes obvious how much he meant to her after he goes out in the woods to find Vada's lost mood ring and is fatally stung by bees. Thomas Jay's death was obviously a tragic event, but it helped Vada learn some valuable lessons about life, become closer to her father and stepmother, and even make a new friend-although you know she'll never forget Thomas Jay.
This is a sad movie, yes, but it's also funny. My personal favorite part:
Vada: "Say something, it's too quiet."
Thomas Jay: "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America..."
Take my advice and watch this movie. Anna Chlumsky is simply amazing. She lights up the screen with her personality. When she laughs, you laugh with her, and when she learns of Thomas Jay's death, you can feel her pain. You may even learn some of the same life lessons she learned.
