Vada Sultenfuss (Anna Chlumsky) is a 13-year-old girl searching for identity and independence. For a class project, she must write about someone she hasn't met but still admires, so she chooses her late biological mother. In order to learn more, Vada journeys to Los Angeles on a school break, staying with her uncle Phil (Richard Masur). Nick (Austin O'Brien), Phil's girlfriend's son, reluctantly agrees to show Vada around the city. But, before long, he's wrapped up in her search for truth.

[My Girl] was really about something -- about an 11-year-old discovering some of the secrets of life, death, love and unselfishness. My Girl 2 seems inspired mostly by the opportunity to recycle the title of a successful film.

With a girl like Vada one should have been enough. This is a bland sequel that Columbia Pictures commissioned due to the success of the original movie. While Anna Chlumsky gives us a more matured version of Vada, Austin O'Brien's Nick comes off as a generic and bland character. The plot about her wanting to know her deceased mother's past isn't a bad storyline it just needed to be fleshed out a little more.

Despite it dragging out in a few areas, My Girl 2 still a great movie with a great story and good heart.

I found this quite fresh for a sequel. It's been criticized as "syrupy", but I say, it's meant that way, you just gotta love it.

It's a sappy, but effective enough expansion to the original movie. It's nothing essential, but if you want to see the further adventures of Vera, give it a go. It's soo much more apparent how much of a brat she is in this one though...
