Tagline

There's being a kid. There's being an adult. And then there's that year in between.


Plot

The plot involves the main character, Vada Sultenfuss, going to Los Angeles for the spring break to learn more about her deceased biological mother. First a sparky 11 year old full of 'medical problems' (including a chicken bone in her throat), now a lively yet more serious 13 year old teenager, 'ready for her own apartment'. It's now 1974, and Vada goes through the natural steps, including what it's like to be with a boy that isn't deceased. ( See My Girl For Thomas J.) My Girl is a 1991 coming-of-age movie about the problems faced by a young girl over one summer. ...


Vada Sultenfuss (Chlumsky) has spring break coming up, and an assignment: to do an essay on someone she admires and has never met. She decides she wants to do an assignment on her mother, but quickly realizes she knows very little about her. She manages to get her father (Aykroyd) to agree to let her go to LA to stay with her Uncle Phil (Masur) and do some research on her mother. Once in LA, she finds herself under the protection of Nick (O'Brien), the son of Phil's girlfriend (Ebersole), who at first is very annoyed at losing his own spring break to escort a "hick girl" around town. However, he soon becomes more involved in the difficult search.

DVD Verdict Review - My Girl 2 (852 words)
My Girl was a hit family film that starred newcomer Anna Chlumsky and highest-paid minority actor Macauley Culkin in a touching story about love, death, stepmothers, and all that other good childhood stuff.
Not one to enjoy hanging around girls with cooties, Nick is less than thrilled when Phil gives him the task of chaperoning Vada on her "Mom" research.
Still, nothing can deter Vada, and before long, she's caught up with her mother's old friends, including an entertaining Ben Stein as a photographer who had asked her mother out twice (unsuccessfully) and another who turned her mom in for smoking, making her the first student to be suspended for such a crime.
