My Girl 2

About This Movie

My Girl 2, directed by Howard Zieff, carries a charming blend of comedy and family vibe that encapsulates the early '90s. The film follows Vada Sultenfuss, who embarks on a quest to learn about her mother for a school assignment. It's kind of a coming-of-age journey, but not in the typical sense. The pacing feels leisurely, allowing for those quiet, reflective moments that really give weight to Vada's exploration of her identity. Anna Chlumsky's performance is sincere, capturing that awkwardness of adolescence perfectly. There's this nostalgic warmth, enhanced by practical effects that feel natural. The film contrasts Vada's whimsical side with deeper themes of loss and discovery that resonate more than one might expect.
