Powerful

Best movie ever!

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Quite simply this shouldn't have been made. It's predictable and clichéd. The on screen chemistry which made the first "My Girl" so captivating is nowhere to be found here, and the acting as a whole is stilted and forced. The writing also leaves much to be desired, some of the 'memorable' lines such as "earpeircing a barbaric custom" are just shocking. Where "My Girl" provoked a genuine feelings of sadness and some genuinely funny moments, like so many sequels "My Girl 2" tries to recreate these emotions generated by the audience, and fails miserably. Maybe i'm being hard on this film because of how great the first one was, but quite honestly it insults the quality of the original with the sort of drivel this installment serves up. Surely this has to come close to "Son of the mask" as being one of the worst sequels of all time. In both cases, the old saying rings true; "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".

I have hear a lot of people saying that they could have chosen a better Nick. But personally I think Austin O'Brien did great. If they put a really attractive guy to play Nick instead of an average guy like Austin, people would stray away from the story. I think they also didn't want Nicks character to overshadow Macaully Culkin's character in the first My Girl. I love this movie and it makes me happy every time I watch it. I love the story line. Overall it was a great movie.I recommend this movie to anyone who needs cheering up, or just wants to see something really enjoyable to watch. I wish that they had come out with a My Girl 3, but I guess leaving the story where it was tied up a lot of loose end anyways. enjoy!

If you want to know what kind of music white people listened to in 1974, this is the movie for you. But you'll have to listen to a lot of flutes and violins, too (see my remarks on My Girl 1 for the reference).Indulgent admission: I approached My Girl 2 with cynicism and annoyance, having just viewed its predecessor. But as an adoptee preparing to finally set upon a search for my birthmother, My Girl 2 made me look, with its theme of searching for mother.Put another way, anything I liked about My Girl 2 had nothing whatsoever to do with My Girl 2, but relating to a protagonist who asks, like so many adoptees, "who's my mama"? And if there are home movies of my mom in an acting troupe, I'll be sure to make my own movie about it.People are listless. Movies should not be listless. My Girl 2 (like My Girl 1) is just...listless.Avoid unless you're a complete sap who's comforted by a series of small annoyances.

i am a huge fan, who has seen this movie well over 100 times. I used to watch it every night before i went to bed, because i love the innocense of the story. Although the characters are very young, they still have great chemistry, and Austin O'brien is adorable. I do love him. oh and he's not her cousin by blood, so its not gross at all!!! More movies should be this good, definitely better than the original.
