My Girl 2
Vada Sultenfuss has a holiday coming up, and an assignment: to do an essay on someone she admires and has never met. She decides she wants to do an assignment on her mother, but quickly realises she knows very little about her. She manages to get her father to agree to let her go to LA to stay with her Uncle Phil and do some research on her mother.
Critics Sentiment
Jeffrey shows Vada the home movie of Maggie singing
Vada meets poet Alfred Beidermeyer and feels discouraged
The film's biggest emotional shift comes when Vada meets Jeffrey Pommeroy and watches the home movie of her mother singing, jumping from a meandering middle act to genuine poignancy.
My Girl 2 struggles in comparison to its predecessor, with most reviewers finding it a decent but unnecessary sequel. While the middle section drags and lacks emotional connection, the film finds genuine heart when Vada discovers her mother's past through Jeffrey Pommeroy and the touching home movie sequence. Critics appreciated Anna Chlumsky's mature performance but felt the story didn't justify its existence beyond nostalgia.
