My Girl

Pros: family classic
Cons: make sure you have some tissues

This is a classic movie that my family owns. We love watching it with people who have never seen it and seeing their reaction.

It has been one of my daughter's favorites since she was eight years old. She just watched it with her friends...

Pros: Good story, good acting, good chemistry
Cons: A little sad, not for everyone

This movie is a classic that's been around for a while. Bridge to Terabithia reminds me a little bit of this film because of some of the same types of themes. I'm sure that this movie isn't for everyone, but it's one that you might want to consider ...

Pros: Tear jerking story. Perfect for one-on-one time with little girls.
Cons: Targeted to girls and parents.

Guess what? I just happen to have a 9 year old girl who is a movie buff. My daughter is drama ridden, emotional and going through her first crush. So, of course, I just had to share this one with her. "Girls will be girls", was a saying I heard a lot ...

Pros: Great coming-of age film that will appeal to young girls
Cons: Very sad!!

"My Girl" is a coming-of-age story that has you laughing one minute and crying the next. It features two extremely appealing young actors - Anna Chlumsky and a surprisingly natural, unobnoxious McCauley Culkin. Coming right on the heels of...

Pros: Good moral, a few laughs, and acting was good
Cons: The second one could have been better

This movie originally aired when I was about 10 or 11 years old. In retrospect, I got the overall gist of the movie. However, I don't remember it being something I would want to see twice. I think that mentality was triggered by the obvious, me having...

Pros: Great movie!!!!!
Cons: Best friend dies

I remember when I first saw this movie. I went with my parents and I loved it. Still to this day everytime I see it I cry. The movie is set in 1972. The main Character is Vada played by Anna Chlumsky. Vada's Mom died when she was giving birth to Vada....

Pros: realistic and sweet
Cons: sad

Vada is an opinionated, determined child of the seventies. Her dad's a mortician, her best friend is a boy, and she's got a crush on her teacher. Nothing new there- she's eleven!
Her and her best friend amble through life despite her relative...

Pros: great story
Cons: sad bit

My girl I first saw this film when it first came out I was 10 (so work out how old I am) and I loved it. I had forgotten all about it until December last year when i was looking for DVD's to get my daughter for Christmas. As soon as I saw it I knew ...

Pros: the acting of Paquin and Caulkin
Cons: a tough theme for kids

My Girl is a story that I believe would be a bit difficult for the audience it was intended for - pre-adolescent children - to deal with.

In this story, Anna Paquin does a wonderful job in the role of Veda, the undertaker's pre-teen daughter,...

Pros: A tearjerker! Lovely Cast.
Cons: None!

It’s all about growing up, and understanding, that things as they are, never stay that way. Death is a part of living.

It’s a cute story that takes place in a small town. The type of town, where everyone knows everyone. A town where...

Pros: Great actors; good characters
Cons: Simple plot

Vada Suletenfuess grows up in the summer of 1972 in the wonderful coming of age movie My Girl. The movie is about the relationship between Vada, her widower father, her best friend Thomas J and the new woman in their lives, Shelly.

Newcomer...

Pros: Funny, charming movie
Cons: Sad in part

I originally saw this movie because my two young teenage girls wanted me to see it with them. After my initial viewing I fell in love with the character played by Anna Chlumsky. I then bought the video so we could view it at home. To this day we still...

Pros: Good lessons, positive moral values
Cons: Sad, but is not necessarily a con

This movie is destined to be a classic. I have seen it various times, at various stages in my own childhood and adolescence. I think that for all children, it is an introduction to coping methods for grieving and mourning after the death of a loved...

Pros: Sad and Uplifting
Cons: Some sexual references

Vada is a young girl who is coping with her mother's untimely death. Her father works in a funeral home as a mortician, which doesn't help matters by any means. Vada is extremely heartbroken when a new assistant comes to help her father with the...

Pros: Love is a wonderful thing and can make your world upside down like vada's
Cons: Loved the ending but didn't like the ending as well

This is a great movie for young kids as well as older ones like myself. (Macaulay Culkin) as Thomas Jay, and (Anna Chlumsky) as Vada is a wonderful dramatic of life changes and what you think might not ever happen can and what happens after it does. Also ...
