My Girl 2 – Meine große Liebe (1994)

My Girl 2 – Meine große Liebe: Directed by Howard Zieff. With Dan Aykroyd, Jamie Lee Curtis, Anna Chlumsky, Austin O’Brien. Vada Sultenfuss must go to LA to stay with her Uncle Phil to do some research on her mother’s life, but finds much more.

“Iu0026#39;m not a big fan of any of the actors in this movie, particularly Austin Ou0026#39;Brien (Last Action Hero), and I didnu0026#39;t really like the original My Girl, but I have to say that this movie was better than expected. Something just touched me about Vada (Anna Chlumsky) trying to find out about the mother she never knew; it was honest and poignant. Singer/songwriter J.D. Souther does a nice turn as an old boyfriend of the mother. Itu0026#39;s no masterpiece, to be sure, and is indeed slow and pointless in parts, but itu0026#39;s a pleasant diversion. I give it a (generous) 7.”
