My Girl is one of the movies that never seems to age, well at least for me. When a movie's plot is set in an earlier time period, it is forever stuck in the year that it's portrayed, in1972. In my mind Macaulay Culkin is 11 years old super cutie and Jamie lee Curtis still looks super hot in denim bell-bottoms. It took me a while to finally found this movie and download it. Thankyou super thanks to indowebster ;)
This film is fantastic!! Honestly, I have never cried so much (well,ok its a lie ) watching a movie. But even though the bits towards the end which will have you bawling are what the film is remembered for, everything in this film is just...fantastic! Part are hilarious , parts are just sweet and by the end of the film, you are genuinely caring for the characters.
The strength of "My Girl" isn't its story, but its little nuances of innocent bliss. Vada willingly shows a group of glowing boys a dead body. As the ride their bikes, Vada and Thomas J. sing `The Name Game'. When writing poems `from the soul', Vada writes an ode to ice cream. The relationship between Harry and Shelly is sweet, too. Before their first date, Harry's womanizing brother points out that since Harry's last date, a sexual revolution has occurred. Of course, Shelly only desires a proper and old-fashioned gentleman, which very much complicates their first date.
Oh, Vada. Why did you have to grow up and star in that mediocre sequel a few years later? And Thomas J., you were so cute before you started looking like a distant cousin to Draco Malfoy. Although I have to give you and Mila Kunis props for defying the Hollywood relationship statistic. I'm thinking you two will be the Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn of our generation.
these are a few memorable subs ;)
Vada: Why do you think people want to get married?
Thomas J. Sennett: When you get old, you just have to.
Thomas J. Sennett: When you get old, you just have to.
Vada: I'm gonna marry Mr. Bixler.
Thomas J. Sennett: You can't marry a teacher, it's against the law.
Vada: It is not.
Thomas J. Sennett: Yes it is, 'cause then he'll give you all A's, and it won't be fair.
Thomas J. Sennett: You can't marry a teacher, it's against the law.
Vada: It is not.
Thomas J. Sennett: Yes it is, 'cause then he'll give you all A's, and it won't be fair.
Thomas J. Sennett: What do you think it's like?
Vada Sultenfuss: What?
Thomas J. Sennett: Heaven.
Vada Sultenfuss: I think... everybody gets their own white horse and all they do is ride them and eat marshmallows all day. And everybody's best friends with everybody else. When you play sports, there's no teams, so nobody gets picked last.
Thomas J. Sennett: But what if you're afraid to ride horses?
Vada Sultenfuss: Doesn't matter 'cause they're not regular horses. They've got wings. And it's no big deal if you fall 'cause you'll just land in a cloud.
Vada Sultenfuss: What?
Thomas J. Sennett: Heaven.

WATCH IT!!!
