powermandan My Girl is one of those timeless 90's movies that kids forever cherished. It has everything you could want all placed in the right spots. Although not a masterpiece, it comes pretty close.This film tells the defining times of a young lady's life. It is the summer of 1972, the girl is 11 and a half year old Vada Sultenfuss who is an emerging woman. her life is a little bit unorthodox. Her mother died a few days after giving birth to her, her father (Dan Aykroyd) is an undertaker, and her grandmother is in the final stages of Alzheimer's disease. Death is all round her. She is more of a tomboy, outcasted from regular girls. Her best friend is the low-immune Thomas J (Macaulay Culkin). She has the hots for her teacher (Griffin Dunne) and signs up for an adult poetry class just to see him. Meanwhile, her father starts dating his newest make-up artist (Jamie Lee Curtis). Vada has mixed bags with Curtis' character, liking a mother figure but wanting her father to herself. This is the general outline for this girl's summer.The subject of death and illness fascinates Vada. The escapades she goes on are all fun and nice. While the movie is mostly a drama, there are some very funny scenes. There's one where Vada and Thomas J kiss near a pond just to see what all the fuss is about. Then there's when they sneak off to interrupt her father at a Bingo party. Other than that, the movie will make you cry. Everybody knows the ending. *Spoiler* Thomas J is looking for Vada's mood ring when he moves a beehive and the bees go crazy. Many bees sting him which causes him to have a fatal allergic reaction. It is sad enough, but Vada confronting her friend's memorial is a surefire way to cause anybody to cry so hard. That's Vada. This was the debut of Veep star Anna Chlumsky. The whole movie hinges on her performance as Vada. The supporting cast is great too, but Chlumsky gives one of my favourite performances ever. Vada's character is so richly detailed that any girl could generated sympathy. But NOBODY could have played her at such a high calibre as Anna Chlumsky. This is a beautiful movie about emerging adulthood and how things change. Things, film wise, seem to go seamlessly to create a great film to capture your heart.

Lord Subro It is a nice movie to watch when you wanna relax. The romance between two kids is shown in a kids' way. Showing the summer time and the ordinary things in kids' life, movie is not making u tensed. Even though it is not the kind of movie which builds up suspense and makes you curious about the ending, is very successfully captures the attention from beginning. You don't need to be patient to watch this movie. Veda is a little girl growing up in a funeral home who is pretty normal kid but growing up in funeral home and knowing her dad is working on dead bodies in their basements, has some effects on her. on the other hand, Thomas J. is very simple fragile kid who is allergic to everything and follows his routine all the time. The movie might sound common and boring but it has a twist on it. Worth watching

WakenPayne 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.

A_Voice This was one of those innocent family drama which can leave you heavyhearted and with teary eyes. A light movie which explores the innocence of a child's mind and influence of the environment they live in on them.It is the story of little Vada, who is trying to cope up with hard reality of death in her life. Her mother is dead and she has a busy and gloomy undertaker for a father. So being neglected, she tries to gain attention and only has one friend.As the story progresses one falls in love with Vada and Thomas J. Both the characters are depicted beautifully and innocently by the new comer Anna and our favorite child actor, Macaulay. The film does tend to be a little boring at times but catches up in the last 30 minutes or so, but last 5 to 7 minutes still seemed to be a little stretched.Direction: Good.Script/Screenplay: The story is simple, but the screenplay is good.Acting: Fine performance by Anna, Macaulay and Lee Curtis.Music: Sweet and fitting.A light movie which can be enjoyed witch family or a loved one over a cup of coffee.
