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.

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!

I really love My Girl.The first one was SO sad.But I still like it better then the second one.At the begining of the film,you would think Vada and Nick are NO match.But you can tell,Nick and Vada begin to enjoy being around each other.I noticed,Nick kind of developes a little... crush on Vada.....?I really love this movie.But I really wish there was a My Girl 3.DON'T MISS THIS FILM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"My Girl 2" continues the story of Vada Sultenfuss and her family, set two or so years on from the original. It's a pretty good sequel, I thought.

Vada (Anna Chlumsky) is a little older and a little more sophisticated these days, it seems. She's not just writing poetry, she's reading it, her favorite poet being a certain Alfred Biedermeier. Her father's (Dan Aykroyd's) new wife (Jamie Lee Curtis) is due to have a baby, and soon Vada will be a big sister. In between school and home, she's trying to figure out boys, but hasn't quite got there yet.

At school, Vada is given an assignment. She has to write an essay on someone who she admires and has never met. She decides to write it on her mother, who died while Vada was still a baby. Vada knows virtually nothing about her mother, and decides to travel to California, where her mother went to school. She stays with her uncle, and with the help of a certain young man (Austin O' Brian) tracks down her mother's old friends. What Vada discovers shocks her, some of it disgusts and confuses her. Still, there are other discoveries that fill her with pride.

"My Girl 2" is a little different to the first. In terms of the style of the film, it looks a little fresher, a little less dusty. Perhaps it's the California scenery, I don't know. It still has that retro feel, which is good (the film is set in the 1970s). Also, it feels a little more subdued. Vada/Anna isn't quite as hyper as she was in the first film, if that makes sense. She's still a great actress, and a shame she hasn't really been in anything lately.

Rather than being in a set few places, like the first film was, "My Girl 2" goes from one place to another, which kind of alters the way the film flows. I wouldn't say there is a lot of chemistry between Anna Chlumsky's "love interest" Austin O'Brien, but considering they're almost cousins-in-law that's probably not such a bad thing.

If you enjoyed the first film, "My Girl 2" is definitely worth picking up. A nice continuation of the story. Shame there wasn't a "My Girl 3", I reckon.

I LOVE THIS MOVIE I WATCHED IT WITH MY COUSINS I LOOOVE AUSTIN O'BRIEN
