Summary: Sequel Better Than The Original...Warm Hearted and Sweet
Review: Usually sequels aren't as good as the original (although there are exceptions such as the Star Wars trilogy and the Back To The Future series), but this movie is much better than its predecessor, "My Girl." It is a warm and fuzzy family film with a great soundtrack featuring songs of the early 1970s. Vada is now 13, tackling a school assignment in which she decides to write about her mother's life. A trip to California to visit her uncle aids in her quest to track down her mother's high school classmates and friends. With each person she interviews, Vada makes some unexpected discoveries about her mother. Her search culminates in a touching, sadly sweet moment when she is able to "meet" her mother. Along the way, Vada finds love from Nick, (played by Austin O'Brien), her somewhat reluctant escort who was paid by Vada's uncle to accompany her around town. I love the fact that all of the primary actors were retained for the sequel (except for Macauley Culkin, whose character died in the first film). Jamie Lee Curtis and Dan Akroyd give fine performances as the happily married Mr. & Mrs. Sultenfuss expecting their first child. While "My Girl" was sad and depressing, "My Girl 2" is positive, upbeat, and great fun. Don't let that surly old curmudgeon, Leonard Maltin, influence you with his review. This film is great family entertainment and quite enjoyable.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: MY GIRL II
Review: Vada goes to California to learn about about her mother. She stays with her uncle Phil and his "Seriously Dating" girlfriend and her son. This is a great follow-up to My Girl even though I liked the first movie better.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: AMAZING!
Review: Wow, I didn't think that a movie could be so touching. From beginning to end, I was blown away by the determination of Vada to find out about her mother. Although I was born a decade after this movie takes place, I felt that it depicted the late '60s and early '70s very well and there was such a good feeling throughout the movie. The actors are amazing, especially Anna Chlumsky. RECOMMENDED!

Rating: 5 stars
