Too sad. The plot itself is a tearjerker.

My Girl has some sweet, funny moments (the cast is uniformly appealing), yet it unfolds in a landscape of paralyzing, pop-psych banality.
This will come as a relief to many parents, but it's also a testament to the emotional level at which My Girl operates.

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.
But sometimes a reviewer just has to blink back the tears that have been mechanically jerked from his eyes and think up more fitting titles for a movie like "My Girl.

| Nov 27, 1991Washington Post
The movie is upbeat but with a palpable streak of melancholy; it's a rare item -- a romantic comedy about loss -- and there's a push-me, pull-you quality to the emotional currents.
The movie has more serious problems, though.

"My Girl" is a wonderful surprise, a delightful comedy for its first three-quarters, then a very touching, somewhat wrenching tragedy, albeit with an optimistic outcome.
That said, this is an excellent film, embracing parent-child communication, family values and an approach to understanding death that is both healthy and conveyed in an intelligent manner.

Christians are no exception to tragedy and the movies does not have to have a happy ending.
So again, Hollywood failed in making great movies, but they also made some poignant film that whether it be religious or not, they are still powerful and sweet, because there is hope after death.
