What happens

My Girl is a 1991 American coming-of-age romantic comedy-drama film directed by Howard Zieff, written by Laurice Elehwany, and starring Dan Aykroyd, Jamie Lee Curtis, Macaulay Culkin, and Anna Chlumsky in her first role in a major motion picture. A book based on the film was written by Patricia Hermes. The film tells the story of an 11-year-old girl living in Madison, Pennsylvania, during the summer of 1972. The film's title refers to the classic 1964 song of the same name by The Temptations, which is also featured in the film's end credits. The film was released by Columbia Pictures on November 27, 1991, and grossed $121 million on a budget of $17 million. A sequel, My Girl 2, was released in 1994. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
