      When Vada bounces her ball along the hall, it only makes the sound of a ball hitting a hard surface, despite landing on a thick woven wool rug at least half of the times she bounces it.
    • Quotes

      Vada: [after Vada and Thomas kiss] Say something, it's too quiet.

      Thomas J. Sennett: Umm, ummmmm...

      Vada: [agitated] Just hurry.

      Thomas J. Sennett: I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America...

      Vada, Thomas J. Sennett: ...And to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

    My Girl
    My Girl is one of the best favorable 90's films of all time, it was very touching, funny, sweet, dramatic, and sad. Anna Chlumsky and Macaulay Culkin was delightful to watch their chemistry overall loving connection was incredible. As child actors they were solid. Jamie Lee Curtis and Dan Aykroyd were great. My Girl would hit you hard and bring tears to your eyes. An all-star Hollywood favorite. A must see!
