Trivia:

Goofs:

Errors in geography: When Vada's plane lands as the end of the movie the hill behind the airport with all the houses on it does not look like anything that would be found in Pennsylvania but looks quite similar to southern California.

Quotes:

Alfred Beidermeyer: UCLA. My Cardigan-Sweater period.

Movie Connections:

Soundtrack:

SWINGTOWN

Okay... not great, not exactly good, but... okay.

Dan Ackroyd, Jamie Lee Curtis and Anna Chlumsky return as Vada the hypercondriac flies to Los Angeles in hopes of finding out about the mother she never knew.

This time, her boy friend (and then boyfriend) is played by Austin O'Brien (The Babysitters Club Movie) as Nick.

Not in anyway as good as the original 1991 feature, 'My Girl', but okay as a family film. 4/10.
