Okay I have seen the sequel to my Girl quite easily one of my favourite coming of age films. I had 2 expectations with this one, either "cash cow" or "they're trying". My opinion is the latter.The plot is that for a school assignment Vada has to write about someone she's never met and must write their crowning achievement. She decides to write about her mother who died giving birth to her and through circumstances she stays with her uncle Phil in Los Angeles over her summer vacation to find all of this out.The acting from Anna Chlumsky as usual is very much worth it as is from most of the main players in this movie. if there was any complaint with it I think it might be this Nick character who they put in a little bit of a contrived love relationship with Vada.I guess people might want to know is it better than the first one? No. But then again it is worth it if you've seen the first one. The characters are pretty much the same as in the first one and they still feel like real people like in the first one. It doesn't throw me on the same emotional level as the first one but it is somewhat still there. If you liked the first one, check it out.

My Girl 2 is set 2 years after the first movie. A much older Vada is growing up and wants to know about her mother that she never met. She goes to Los Angeles to find out more about her mother for a school project. Many stars return from the first film including Dan Aykroyd, Jamie Lee Curtis, Richard Masur and Anna Chlumsky. There is also some new comers such as Christine Ebersole and Austin O'Brien who plays Vada's love interest. Its a shame that Griffin Dunne didn't return.Howard Zieff returns to the helm to finish the story of Vada Sultenfuss. Not as perfect and edited like the first film, but its still a good film and the soundtrack is just as good as the first film. Sometimes the film does lag and is pretty boring in some parts but if you liked the first film then watch this film. It tells you the whole story about Vada's life and her mother.Remember its not perfect but overall its not a bad film!

I have hear a lot of people saying that they could have chosen a better Nick. But personally I think Austin O'Brien did great. If they put a really attractive guy to play Nick instead of an average guy like Austin, people would stray away from the story. I think they also didn't want Nicks character to overshadow Macaully Culkin's character in the first My Girl. I love this movie and it makes me happy every time I watch it. I love the story line. Overall it was a great movie.I recommend this movie to anyone who needs cheering up, or just wants to see something really enjoyable to watch. I wish that they had come out with a My Girl 3, but I guess leaving the story where it was tied up a lot of loose end anyways. enjoy!

If you want to know what kind of music white people listened to in 1974, this is the movie for you. But you'll have to listen to a lot of flutes and violins, too (see my remarks on My Girl 1 for the reference).Indulgent admission: I approached My Girl 2 with cynicism and annoyance, having just viewed its predecessor. But as an adoptee preparing to finally set upon a search for my birthmother, My Girl 2 made me look, with its theme of searching for mother.Put another way, anything I liked about My Girl 2 had nothing whatsoever to do with My Girl 2, but relating to a protagonist who asks, like so many adoptees, "who's my mama"? And if there are home movies of my mom in an acting troupe, I'll be sure to make my own movie about it.People are listless. Movies should not be listless. My Girl 2 (like My Girl 1) is just...listless.Avoid unless you're a complete sap who's comforted by a series of small annoyances.
