If you loved The Commitments, try My Girl
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Commitments, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What My Girl is
Small-town Pennsylvania, summer, a hearse idles. A funeral parlor, a father's gentle guidance, a young girl's dark fascinations. Howard Zieff finds gentle humor in awkward adolescence.
