After seeing MY GIRL when I was 8, I didn't really like it because it was quite affecting for younger viewers. I decided to see MY GIRL 2 just to know what happens next, The plot was okay a little cheesey, but it wasn't as touching as the original. The original charecters were back, but the boy who played Nick, was really just taking over Macaulay Culkin's role. I think this movie should be shown to younger viewers as it is not affecting and there are not many references to death as the first. A Good family film, I'd give the first one 9/10 and MY GIRL 2 6/10.
