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...

As a child, this movie was THE movie that introduced me to grief and loss in cinematic form. It was the first movie that made me feel feelings that were not purely happiness. Grief, sadness, and loss. I've had discussions with friends recently that have led us to realize something about this movie... "My Girl" is, hands down, the "Manchester by the Sea" of our generation.

This was a cute bud sad film that I had rented may years ago, mainly cause it had Macaulay Culkin (from Home Alone) and Anna Chlumsky (whom I had never heard of at the time). This was a movie that I had liked for some reason, (but I HATE the awful music!) This is a story about friendship and many other things. I enjoyed it and I think you will too.I give 'My Girl' a 7/10.

This probably is one of those movies that everybody talks about for things like the last 20 minutes. I saw a clip of this movie on YouTube and I wanted to see it. I finally found a version that I can watch and to be honest there are a few little problems with it but not many.This is a coming of age film about a girl named Vada, she is surrounded by death because her mother died in childbirth (and she blames herself) and her father is an undertaker who doesn't seem to have time for her nor listens to her (Dan Akroyd). She consistently tries to tell people she's dying, when really all she wants is attention. When a make-up artist (Jamie Lee Curtis) applies for a job soon her father starts dating her. All she does is hang around her best friend, Thomas (MaCauley Culkin) and look after her grandmother with mental health problems. This is the events that happen over a summer break.The acting in this movie... My god, from Anna Chlumsky, it's brilliant. Easily one of the best child performances ever alongside Emily Perkins in Small Sacrifices. I really wonder why out of the kids in this movie the one I've heard of is MaCauley Culkin because Anna is definitely the better actor. The other actors are also pretty good. I mean There was nobody that didn't do a decent job in this movie.One thing I really liked was the drama. Now I think you may have heard people talk about it but my insight is that it went really well and possibly the best drama I've seen in a kids film. It all works really well.If there was anything to raise against this movie it would be when Vada runs to the teacher she has a crush on during one of the more dramatic moments and confesses her love for him only to find out he is getting married because he almost literally announces it a few seconds later... This is at a time when an 11 year old girl is grieving over somebody's death - is that really the best time to tell her that? I think not.So aside from that complaints everything else is a nitpick. This movie really does capture childhood and it really is a timeless movie. This is definitely one of the best coming of age and family films out there, maybe because I haven't seen many. I will most certainly watch My Girl 2 even though I've heard it's not that good. If you can find it, check it out.
