Movie Reviews of My Girl 2
Movie Review: good chick flick
Summary: 4 Stars
Pretty good movie, although not as good as the first. It's interesting to see Vada a little older. It is a sequel that doesn't completely ruin the first movie. It's a good chick flick.Movie Review: Austin O'Brien as love interest?!
Summary: 3 Stars
Three years after the original My Girl, and bringing back most of the original characters, and introducing some new ones is My Girl 2. With rumours of a My Girl 3, to possibly bring Anna Chlumsky back into showbusiness, it's always best to review these movies the way they were meant to be: good!
The thing that really gets me about this movie is Austin O'Brien. He's just not the kinda guy that I would be swooning over. Earrings are a barbaric custom?! Excuse me?! Why on earth did they include THAT line. The guy needed a serious hair cut before any sort of swooning should be done. I definitely reckon they should have brought back Thomas J (Macaulay Culkin). I don't care if he died in the first movie, movies do anything these days.
To me, the first one was always the best, although the second one has a lot more depth to it. Vada's first love will probably always be Thomas J, and lets face it, no one forgets their first love.
This sequel can stand well on its own, without the need of having to have seen the first to understand. Sure, there are some references to Thomas J. It's still as sad as the first one, with Vada 'seeing' her mother, and you feel like crying at that point. Feel like being the appropriate words - I cry at the first one every time I watch it, and get teary at the second.
If you're wondering about the song that Vada's mother sings, it's called "Smile (Though Your Heart Is Breaking)", and there are a few versions out there by Lyle Lovett & Natalie Cole. The full lyrics go like this:
Smile, though your heart is breaking
Smile, even though it's aching
When there are clouds in the sky you'll get by
If you smile through your pain and sorrow
Smile, and maybe tomorrow
You'll find the sun come shining through for you
Light up your face with gladness
HIde every trace of sadness
Although a tear maybe ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use in crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you'll just smile
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use in crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you'll just smile
Lovely song and a lovely film. You must see this if you liked the first one. Just throw Austin O'Brien back into the wilderness and bring back Anna Chlumsky!
Movie Review: My Girl 2 is ok but there was no point in making it though.
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a pretty good movie but whatever his name was Austin whatever was trying way to hard to be the tough guy in the movie. And it was so obvious that he was just there to replace Macualay Culkin. It would have been really nice if at the of My Girl 1 Vada and Thomas had gotten together. Because I personally think that Vada and Thomas were sort of the right ones for each other. It depends on how you look at it. I also know that deep down inside Thomas had a little soft spot for Vada you could tell by the way he was acting around her. Vada and Thomas 4ever.
