My Girl (DVD, 1998)

The film is set in Madison, Pennsylvania, in the summer of 1972. Vada Sultenfuss (Anna Chlumsky) is an 11-year-old tomboy and a hypochondriac. Vada's father, Harry Sultenfuss (Dan Aykroyd), is an awkward widower who does not understand his daughter, so he constantly ignores her. His profession as a funeral director, for which the Sultenfuss' residence serves as a funeral parlor, has led Vada to develop an obsession with death. She thinks that she killed her mother, who died giving birth to her. Vada regularly tends to her invalid grandmother Gramoo (Ann Nelson), who suffers from Alzheimer's disease. Harry's brother Phil (Richard Masur), who lives nearby, also stops by frequently to help out the family.

Vada is teased by other girls and her best friend is Thomas J. Sennett (Macaulay Culkin), an unpopular boy who is allergic to "everything." One day, Vada gets squirted with a water gun by Thomas J., which makes Vada chase Thomas J. into the woods. Once there, they throw rocks at a beehive and end up getting chased by bees. During the encounter, Vada loses her mood ring.

Vada's summer begins well. She befriends Shelly DeVoto (Jamie Lee Curtis), the new make-up artist at her father's funeral parlor, who provides her with some much needed guidance. She is also infatuated with her teacher, Mr. Bixler (Griffin Dunne), and steals some money from Shelly's trailer to attend a summer writing class that he is teaching. However, soon things start to fall apart.

Her father and Shelly start dating and get engaged. Vada experiences her first menstrual cycle; Shelly explains it after Vada runs around the house yelling that she is hemorrhaging. A couple of days later, Vada and Thomas J. sit at the dock by the river and end up kissing. Then, Thomas J. goes into the forest to look for Vada's mood ring and finds it, but gets stung by the bees and dies of an allergic reaction. Soon after, Vada discovers that Mr. Bixler is about to get married to someone else. Shelly and Harry get into an argument at Thomas J.'s funeral, and Shelly angrily tells Harry that life isn't just about death, as well as not to ignore the living, especially his daughter.

Vada's grief, however, manages to mend the rift between her and her father. She learns that her mother's death after her birth wasn't her fault (since her father tells her that things like mothers dying in childbirth aren't anybody's fault; they just happen without explanation). Eventually Vada makes a new friend, and not only comes to terms with her pain and grief, but also overcomes some of her previous issues as well.Lire l'avis complet...

Still a good film to watch

BIG NOTE-THE NEWER EDITION OF THIS FILM WITH A DIFFERENT LOOKING COVER SHOT IS NOT LISTED HERE ON EBAY. THIS IS THE 1 I HAVE & REVIEW IS FOR.

I have always enjoyed this film.
Time frame when I was a kid.
Nice to remember when things were better & people were happier.

The music & the pop culture references are good to see.

Dan following up after his Oscar nomination for "Driving Miss Daisy" is good as Harry. The last time I can remember seeing Jamie Lee with a good hair cut, meaning looking like a woman instead of that man's hair cut she has had for years.

Culkin near the end of his 15 minutes. Introducing & this was her career the 2 films Anna Chlumsky.

Since a low price DVD NO chapter search list.
No extras.

The 1 big complaint I have is the film is NOT wide screen. Why not film makers? You are selling the early 1970's time frame so why not show it properly?Lire l'avis complet...

A wonderful story and great performances! As always, a terrific bargain as well.

Love this story. It made me laugh and cry a lot. The relationships were adorable and heart warming.
The is a story about growing up and facing both guilt and fear. It would appeal to just about anyone.Lire l'avis complet...

Awesome movie! One of my all-time favorites!

Hard to imagine anyone hasn't already seen this movie and is looking at ratings, but I love it so I'm happy to share. =) It's a classic and I was just thinking how it's one of my favorites but I didn't own it so it was time to hit half.com and pick it up! It was so fun to get it and watch it with my daughter for the first time. It makes me smile and laugh and cry everytime!Lire l'avis complet...
