Storyline
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 realizes 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. Once in LA, she finds herself under the protection of Nick, the son of Phil's girlfriend, who at first is very annoyed at losing his holidays to escort a hick *girl* around town. However, he soon becomes more involved in the difficult search. Written by

Goofs
in an earlier scene, Vada and her family were watching "the Partridge Family". when Vada and her father go bowling she mentions missing Archie Bunker, however, in 1974 (when the movie is set)
The Partridge Family and
All in the Family were shown at the same time on the same night, so she'd already missed Archie Bunker while she was watching The Partridge Family.

Vada Sultenfuss:
[
narration to audience]
I remember before I was born, wounded up like a fur ball in the highly overrated fetal position, luckily I'm not claustrophobic, but on rainy days I still felt a tightness in my left shoulder. So now that my stepmother's pregnant, I understand what the baby's going through, and I'm not jealous at all, really, not at all.

MY GIRL 2, in my opinion, is an excellent sequel to a very touching and funny comedy/drama/romance. If you ask me, Vada (Anna Chlumsky) looked very beautiful in the dress she wore on the final day of her trip. Also, I thought that she and Nick (Austin O'Brien) made a cute couple. However, his mother, Rose (Christine Ebersole), was a little snobby. You'll have to see the movie if you want to know why. Before I wrap this up, I must say that the costumes were well-designed, the production design was good, and the performances were top-grade. In conclusion, this movie really touched me and made me feel good, and I highly recommend it if you're a fan of Dan Aykroyd, Anna Chlumsky, Jamie Lee Curtis, Christine Ebersole, or Austin O'Brien.
