    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Jamie Lee Curtis instituted a swear can on set to prevent "trucker talk," as Dan Aykroyd called it. Aykroyd said in an interview: "It was $5 for this word and $10 for another word and by end of the movie the kids had about five grand in there."
    • Goofs
      When Vada bounces her ball along the hall, it only makes the sound of a ball hitting a hard surface, despite landing on a thick woven wool rug at least half of the times she bounces it.
    • Quotes

      Vada: Weeping willow with your tears running down, why do you always weep and frown? Is it because he left you one day? is it because he could not stay? On your branches he would swing, do you long for the happiness that day would bring? He found shelter in your shade. You thought his laughter would never fade. Weeping willow, stop your tears. There is something to calm your fears. You think death has ripped you forever apart. But I know he'll always be in your heart.

    My Girl

    My Girl is one of the best favorable 90's films of all time, it was very touching, funny, sweet, dramatic, and sad. Anna Chlumsky and Macaulay Culkin was delightful to watch their chemistry overall loving connection was incredible. As child actors they were solid. Jamie Lee Curtis and Dan Aykroyd were great. My Girl would hit you hard and bring tears to your eyes. An all-star Hollywood favorite. A must see!
