My Girl 2 Reviews:
"Why is it boys talk so much, when they have nothing to say? And girls have plenty to say, but no one will listen?" 
2009-10-23 - Picking up the story several years after the events of the first "My Girl" (a surprise worldwide sleeper hit in 1991), 1994's MY GIRL 2 reunites us once again with the irrepressible Vada Sultenfuss and her wacky family.
With new stepmother Shelley (Jamie Lee Curtis) heavily pregnant and the entire Sultenfuss household overtaken with baby plans, a pensive Vada (Anna Chlumsky) decides to investigate her own mother, who died during childbirth. Shelley arranges for Vada to spend a vacation in Los Angeles with Uncle Phil (Richard Masur) and his new "family": Rose (Christine Ebersole) and her adolescent son Nick (Austin O'Brien). It's a summer of discovery, soul-searching and heartache, as Vada uncovers her mother's past and the events which led to her own birth...
Anna Chlumsky again delivers a solid turn as Vada, settling the character nicely into the awkward teen years with great skill. Jamie Lee Curtis and Dan Aykroyd (as Vada's parents) don't really figure into the plot this time but it's nice having them "around" anyway. Austin O'Brien provides strong support as Vada's verbal sparring partner (much the same as Macaulay Culkin's Thomas J. from the first film); Masur and Ebersole undercut the possible sentimentality, always a problem in this sort of story.
Providing a fitting finale for Vada and the events of the first movie, MY GIRL 2 is that rare sequel which can stand proud against it's predecessor.

movies
2009-02-12 - We love My Girl, and My Girl 2. Every child should watch these movies. My kids watched them over and over again.
Daughter is happy!
2008-02-16 - This was on our 21 year old daughter's Christmas wish list. She was delighted since it reminded her of her childhood. She also likes Anne of Avonlea as well as Pride and Prejudice. This is very enjoyable for girls.
Just as good as the first.
2007-09-30 - My Girl 2 is heartwarming, funny, and poigant film just like the first outing. This film is the perfect sequel to the monster hit, My Girl. The cast is the same but Anna Chlumsky is all grown-up and looking like a beautiful young woman, she wants to learn more about her deceased mother so she heads to California to dig up information about her talented mom. While she is in California, she falls for her uncle's girlfriend's son, Nick. The two embark to find who exactly was Vada's mom, was she loving? flighty? did she want to have a family? all these questions are answered and we learn a wonderful fact about her mother. Sequels can be very disappointing most of the time but My Girl 2 is a sweet and charming film about self-discovery. Great fun!
