If you loved My Girl, try My Girl 2
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. My Girl 2 has roughly 4.3× fewer votes than My Girl — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Howard Zieff, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to My Girl, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What My Girl 2 is
All the angst of a kid with a school project and a missing mom. When Vada heads to LA to write about her late mother she finds more questions than answers. A sequel that succeeds only in making everyone cry at the 11th commandment.
