NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
SunnyHello Nice effects though.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
tigerstripe-55454 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...
Oscar McGeachie In the Summer of 1972, 11-Year Old Vada (played by Anna Chlumsky) lives in a funeral parlour with her father (played by Dan Aykroyd) who works as an undertaker in a small town of Pennsylvania. Her mother died when she gave birth to her. Then Shelly De Voto (played by Jamie Lee Curtis) comes along and soon she and Vada's father are having a relationship.But the only person in Vada's life is her best friend Thomas J. (played by Macaulay Culkin), and they have many summer adventures together.
clock_me My girl is supposed to be a sad crier film but it just isn't First off all Thomas who is vadas friends is barley in the movie I counted and its less then 20mis Also his character is under developed so you just don't care about him one way or the other Vada is a little annoying she tries to have emotion about death and love but falls flat the romance between Jamie lee curitus and Dan akroyed is rushed and they didn't spend a lot of time on oh and the death scene was two slow and buy the time the movie was nearing the dramatic part it had me at a sigh had to stick les miz on to get my tears on for so many years I put this movie off and I wish I never watched it to begin with all the users saying this was sad are saps
just_silvio For me this movie was a little predictable since i saw the poster...2 kids, i heard it involved crying...i thought one of them would die!!! The reason i like this movie is because it made me realize in a very very easy way something that i forgot myself!!! You may loose someone u love and maybe never tell them what u really feel because u were shy/stupid/big ego...i don't know!!!! Recently i lost a girl forever because i didn't tell her how i feel, and USUALLY i never tell my parents how much i really care For them.Imagine now A simple plot kid actors, some bees, and a funeral home make u realize something this big! For this reason i gave this movie an 8! Now the technical part....well, I didn't gave this movie a 10...becouse I didn't like much the camera and the editing! It was just OK for mePS:this is my first review....so this movie it made me write a review too :)
