"The beauty in this film is in its directness. There are some obligatory scenes. But there are also some very original and touching ones (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)" | ||||
"Only the strong will escape without a tear." | ||||
"It's an entertaining, often winning, movie, but you can't help but feel that the filmmakers never settled on what sort of movie they wanted to make" | ||||
"Hard to hate, but if you actually want to love it, you've got to force yourself" | ||||
"A pleasant surprise. It's sweet, offbeat and ultimately slight, but likable nevertheless for the emotional integrity it maintains" | ||||
"My Girl may well have been intended as a tender way for parents to explain difficult subjects to their kids, but this botch of a movie explains nothing." | ||||
"A sweetly unassuming teen flick (...) the performances are appealing, particularly the endearing Chlumsky (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)" |
