Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe cabin Jeffrey lives in was also used in the movies Eraser (1996) and Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (1984).
- GoofsAt the beginning of the film, Vada's English teacher asks his class to write a paper about someone that they don't know. When questioning the class, one of Vada's classmates says that he wants to write about Farrah Fawcett, due to the fact that he likes to watch her run on television, an obvious reference to her role on Charlie's Angels (1976). However, the film takes place in 1974, two years before Charlie's Angels premiered. In addition, Fawcett, although working as an actress, was a mostly an unknown at the time.
- Quotes
Vada Sultenfuss: Why is it boys talk so much, when they have nothing to say? And girls have plenty to say, but no one will listen?
- Alternate versionsThe booklet contained in the "My Girl 2" soundtrack features photos of two scenes not in the theatrical cut. The first is a scene in which Vada and Nick eat hot dogs at a park. The other is a scene in which we actually get to see Vada get her ear pierced instead of just hearing about it.

Featured review
The sequel's just as good as the original
The original "My Girl" from 1991 was a quality drama about a 10 year-old girl experiencing tragic death. In "My Girl 2" she's now 13 and goes to Southern California to learn about her mother she never knew. Her companion is played by Austin O'Brien. Dan Aykroyd and Jamie Lee Curtis play her father and stepmother while Richard Masur and Christine Ebersole co-star as her uncle and potential aunt. The beautiful Angeline Ball has a small role as her mother in flashbacks.
This is just a solid drama, as good or better than the original. The adventures of the two 13 year-olds as they go from person to person searching for information about Vada's mother compels the story along. The people they meet are colorful or interesting. The peripheral subplots are good too, like will the Uncle propose to Rose or allow some rich dude with a Jaguar to snatch her up?
The film runs 99 minutes and was shot in Los Angeles, California, including Topanga Canyon.
GRADE: B
