[edit] Plot
The plot takes place in 1974, 2 years after My Girl, involves the main character, Vada Sultenfuss, going to Los Angeles for the spring break to learn more about her deceased biological mother. First a sparky 11 year old full of 'medical problems' (including a chicken bone in her throat), now a lively yet more serious 13 year old teenager, 'ready for her own apartment'. Vada goes through the natural steps, including what it's like to be with a boy that isn't dead. ( See My Girl For Thomas J.)
Vada Sultenfuss (Anna Chlumsky) has spring break coming up, and an assignment: to do an essay on someone she admires and has never met. She decides she wants to do an assignment on her mother, but quickly realizes she knows very little about her. She manages to get her father (Aykroyd) to agree to let her go to LA to stay with her Uncle Phil (Masur) and do some research on her mother. Once in LA, she finds herself under the protection of Nick (O'Brien), the son of Phil's girlfriend (Ebersole), who at first is very annoyed at losing his own spring break to escort a "hick girl" around town. However, he soon becomes more involved in the difficult search. He gets really annoyed of girls and on the other side Vada (Chlumsky) feels the same.
