Sick Product of a Sick System

Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Either you will cry watching this movie or you are an actual robot. Anna CHlumsky and Dan Aykroyd are the sweetest little duo and this story about growing up has a little something for everyone. I wish they still made live action kid-adult movies like this, but at least we have My Girl for years to come...

I found about this movie from watchmojo.com's YouTube videos. It might be the first time I watched a movie without looking up for it over IMDb. But I am glad because after seeing the rating of only 6.8, I might not watched it as usually movies below 7 are not worth watching (I have tried before).This is one of the few movies which take your emotions through a roller coaster ride. It makes us smile in the beginning and also reminds us of our own childhood. The curiosity of kids about everything. Having a best friend with whom you spend your days and share a special bond. Similar bond is depicted in the movie between Vada and Thomas J. The background music, cinematography and acting done by even the kids make this movie a great family movie. But doesn't matter how strong you are, the end will make you cry! So, keep some tissues with you. Overall I think it was one of the best family drama movie I have ever watched. I think it deserves a much better rating.

I remember this movie since I was a kid. It was about a young girl who happened to be a tomboy who befriends a boy played by Macaulay Culkin from the Home Alone franchise and the pair are inseparable. Her mom passed away a long time ago and her father played by Dan Aykroyd is getting married again to Jamie Lee Curtis and of course we follow this girl as the film progresses. Bottom line I enjoyed this as a kid and I haven't seen it in years since I was a kid. I remember the song My Girl(hence the name of the film)and the part where Culkin's charcther dies after getting stung by bees and I remember crying when I seen that part and before that he gave the young girl a mood ring and he and her were fighting and that.My advice to you is to track it down on DVD and watch it. Its a touching movie from my childhood and I enjoyed it.

Vada is obsessed with death. Her mother is dead, and her father runs a funeral parlour. She is also in love with her English teacher, and joins a poetry class over the summer just to impress him. Thomas J., her best friend, is "allergic to everything", and sticks with Vada despite her hangups. When Vada's father hires Shelly, a makeup expert, in his funeral parlour, and begins to fall in love with her, Vada is outraged and does everything in her power to split them up.....I must have missed the boat with this one when it was first released, because seeing it for the first time 22 years after its initial release, it isn't really much of a movie.It's basically about an EMO type born way before it was cool to be EMO. Without Culkin, this wouldn't have had the prolific release or marketing it had back in 1992. The TV spots for this were literally on every 30 minutes and every bus stop had the one sheet.Which probably deterred me from seeing it for such a long time.The scene everyone talks about is very powerful, but it's handled badly, as if the film makers would know that lots of young girls would be seeing this.And because of the star power Culkin had at the time, the more interesting elements of the film, Ackroyd finding love after loss,Mis sidelined in favour of a first kiss.Its watchable fluff, but I would recommend checking your blood glucose every thirty minutes though.
