Vada Sultenfuss is obsessed with death. Her mother is dead, and her father runs a funeral parlor. She is also in love with her English teacher, and joins a poetry class over the summer just to impress him. Thomas J., her best friend, is "allergic to everything", and sticks with Vada despite her hangups. When Vada's father hires Shelly, and begins to fall for her, things take a turn to the worse...
Editor's Verdict
"My Girl is fundamentally a coming-of-age drama set during the summer. While it had a 'Holiday Release,' the plot, themes, and setting are entirely disconnected from the Christmas season. None of the core classification criteria register above 'None' or 'Weak.'"
